In the 1960s, French architect Francois Spoerry transformed what had been a swampy area into a premiere resort destination. He drew inspiration for Port Grimaud from Venice, whose canals inspired the network of waterways, as well as French village traditions. Each house, painted in traditional Provencal hues, comes with its own mooring, making this seaside town a haven for sailors and yachtsmen. Your guided exploration begins with a walking tour along the quays and across pedestrian-only bridges. Then experience Port Grimaud from the water, with a leisurely boat ride around the man-made canals. Following your sightseeing trip, you’ll head to the popular waterfront restaurant, La Table du Mareyeur, for a lunch of seafood served with white and rose wines from a nearby winery. Enjoy free time to stroll on your own, browse the shops and boutiques, or relax in a café watching the boats, before the return to Saint-Tropez.
Discover the eclectic blend of cosmopolitan chic and rustic charm in a unique, planned seaside town built in the 1960s.
