A village born from a dream (and a visionary)

Port Grimaud is unlike any other. It was the vision of architect François Spoerry, who dreamed of a village where you could live with your boat docked at your doorstep.

Built in the 1960s, it blends Provençal charm, smart urban design, and harmony with nature.

Now a listed 20th-century heritage site, it's affectionately called the 'Little Venice of Provence' and admired worldwide.
