Grimaud · LE GOLFE / DISCOVER
Saint-Roch mill gives Grimaud’s landscape a silhouette you can recognise from afar. This stop in the Saint-Roch district connects the village with its agricultural past, with the Golfe on the horizon. Our idea: make time for the monument and the walk, then continue into the village lanes.

“A WINDMILL. PROVENCE. THE GOLFE BEYOND.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
01
A windmill has stood here since the 16th century. Originally called the Moulin de la Gardiole, it later took the Saint-Roch name. Its roof, sails and machinery were restored in the 1990s. Our advice: look at both the mill and the area in front to imagine the role of wheat in village life.
02
The outside site is listed as accessible year-round. The interior opens only for tours by the Culture and Heritage service; ask the tourist office for dates. The official heritage account says the mill can no longer currently turn or make flour, so do not expect a demonstration without checking.
03
The official point marks the mill in the Saint-Roch district. Check your village approach, use authorised parking and finish on foot. The tourist listing describes the mill as inaccessible to wheelchairs; ask which stops suit your group.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
Our suggestion: combine the mill with the castle and Saint-Michel church for a heritage outing. The Pont des Fées valley trail is a separate extension for a longer walk; check its page, access conditions and the time available before adding it to your day.

Beyond Grimaud’s village lanes, Pont des Fées reveals the remains of a historic aqueduct amid the Vallon de la Garde. Plan a walk via the signed trail rather than following a car route straight to the structure.
