Port Grimaud is the creation of the late visionary architect,

François Spoerry.  The port is a miniature Venice, created for the owners of sailing craft who could afford to have a house built there in traditional Provencal style – but with modern amenities.

 

Houses where built in several different styles, mirroring the buildings of the past when architects had not existed, each house to be painted a different colour to its neighbour.  This joyful and decorative effect helps to create the vibrant attitude throughout Port Grimaud.

 

There is an interdenominational church, shops, banks, hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and two wide sandy beaches, with a beautiful view of St Tropez across the bay.

 

Port Grimaud is now 40 years old; each house is a living entity reminding the close affiliation we have with the sea.  Through each unique building, from open apartments to its houses, the wealth of the exceptional city is translated into a vision emphasising the quality of life that goes hand in hand with the sea.

 

Today the characteristics of this exceptional city are maintained by the locals, each house has to conform to that of its neighbours to keep this beautiful city as it’s always been.

 

A safe environment for all, within this pedestrianised environment (parking is in provided across from the port) it is possible to find complete silence amongst the buildings and narrow alleys.
