Les Restanques Grimaud Site no: RV030

At a Glance

Les Restanques is situated in a truly exceptional spot, even for the south of France. Set in 25 acres of enclosed parkland, with mimosa trees and pine woods adding to your privacy, Les Restanques has wonderful panoramic views over the sea and the town of St Tropez. Just 3 kilometres from the Mediterranean beaches, this village is the ideal base to explore the innumerable charms of this part of the south of France. An exceptional pool complex with waterslide and wave pool surrounded by grassy slopes and a manmade beach. Accommodation of the highest standard, and an unrivalled choice of activities for all the family. And of course, that magical, south of France light. With St Tropez just a drive away, and walks to the Venetian-styled fishing village of Port Grimaud, it's hard to fault Les Restanques.
