Gourmet restaurant in Grimaud, Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Les Santons.
1962
In 1962, in the heart of the medieval village of Grimaud, right in the center of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Claude Girard and his wife founded Les Santons, a gourmet restaurant on the outskirts of Saint-Tropez. Nestled in an elegant Provençal residence, this gourmet establishment, once boasting two Michelin stars, quickly became an iconic address, gracefully embodying tradition, expertise, and the art of living.
Even today, the spirit of the house thrives under the guidance of Stéphanie, daughter of the founders, maître d’hôtel and sommelier. She joined the family venture in 2001, after a childhood steeped in the aromas of the kitchen and the bustle of the brigades, gradually learning the exacting standards and elegance of the profession from her parents. With finesse, she perpetuates the art of service and food and wine pairings.
At her side since 2007, her husband Julien Allègre, a passionate chef, takes charge of the kitchens. Trained at the Montauban hotel school, then at renowned Michelin-starred establishments — Michel Sarran in Toulouse (2 stars), Lasserre in Paris (3 stars), Le Grand Monarque in Chartres (1 star)—he proudly claims the legacy of Claude Girard, for whom he was the sous-chef. At Les Santons, he creates sincere and refined cuisine, focused on flavour and guided by the seasons, showcasing exceptional products sourced from short supply chains and loyal producers, some of whom have been partners of the restaurant for over forty years.
