Gassin….
Gassin is situated in the middle of the Saint Tropez peninsula, perched high up on a rock and less than 4km. from the sea.
The village has kept its old winding streets and ancient houses. Its location is really quite exceptional overlooking vineyards, woods and the gulf of Saint Tropez ! ( Provence Web )

Port-Grimaud
Grimaud
Nestled in the heart af the Maures Mountains and bordering the Gulf of St Tropez, Grimaud has maintained its medieval character.
The village is very appealing with its paved and flowered streets winding about all the way from the Romanesque church to the ruins of the feudal castle. ( Provence Web )

Picturesque as usual. This world is a wonderful place – visually at least if not socially.

Wonderful photos of a lovely hillside village – I thoroughly enjoyed visiting there again through your post.
Although I have to say the Côte d’Azur so far is my least liked part of France. During the off-season there’s construction going on everywhere and during summer it just takes too long to get anywhere by car (unless you take the motorway) because of the traffic. Add to it that most of the public beaches I know are just pebbled strips of land sandwiched between the coastal roads and the Mediterranean and even a simple coffee can be horribly overpriced probably explains why we favour the hinterland. Or Menton. That’s the only seaside city around I actually love.
That said, I loved driving along the Grande Corniche following in the footsteps (or tire treads) of John Robie and Frances Stevens.
I’m sure the coast has more to offer than the less than enjoyable experiences I had, so I’m looking forward to more posts from you guys.
