Encyclopedic overview
Grimaud ( French pronunciation: [ɡʁimo]) is a village and commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
It is located on the French Riviera. The village of Grimaud is a perched village, with historical links to the Grimaldi family. Gibelin de Grimaldi aided William the Good in driving the Saracens of Fraxinet out of the area in AD 973 and was rewarded with the land. The village is dominated by its 11th-century castle (partially restored).
