Back to 8,600+ steps walked today! We anchored in St Tropez bay around 10am then were tendered to shore. The dock is only a couple of minutes walk to town, so we wandered about town a bit and went down to the waterfront where the big yachts are moored.
We were on a shore excursion this afternoon to Port Grimaud (built in the 1960s, with lots of canals for the boat owners to pull up outside their very expensive houses; we heard that one cost EU23 million!!), and the medieval town of Grimaud. The port town, where we did a canal boat tour, was a bit Disneyland, with fake facades, but the old town was just beautiful, with very few tourists (except our group). Even better, they had an elevator to take you up the worst of the hill to the town itself. There were still some steep areas and steps but not many and relatively easy to negotiate. And lots of shaded areas. Grimaud is a delightful medieval hill town, with a church that dates back to the 1100s. And no tourist shops!
