Grimaud, October 2008

One week in South of France, through the "route Napoléon" to Saint-Tropez and its beaches at Pampelone,l'Escalet and cap Taillat, Port Grimaud, Collobrières, Cannes, Bormes-les-Mimosas to mention just a little of what we visited. All this from a very nice place next to Grimaud called "les Restanques du Golfe de Saint Tropez" (Pierre & Vacances).
