About Port Camargue
Port Camargue was drawn up by Jean Balladur, who also planned La Grande-Motte. The project was launched in 1963 and building began in 1969. It is one of the biggest marinas in Europe, with 4,600 berths, and it is entered by a channel opening to the north-west. Our homes are packed into about a kilometre, mostly one-bedroom apartments and small houses for four, with air conditioning common and a pool in a good number. The Espiguette sand runs close by, and campsites are numerous nearby. A path links the marina to the old fishing port.
Is Port Camargue right for you?
- Best for
- Sailors and small families wanting boats and sand at the door
- Not for you if
- You want an old town feel, because this district was laid out from the late 1960s around its marina and has no historic core.

Getting to Port Camargue
Fly to Montpellier-Méditerranée, about 21 km and around 20 minutes from Le Grau du Roi by road, then take a taxi or hire a car. The bus from the airport is slow, about two hours with a change. Within the marina district most homes are close together, but the Camargue itself needs a car.
When to go to Port Camargue
The Camargue marshes behind the marina are a prime habitat for insects, and their mosquitoes rank among the fiercest in France. Sunshine is reported at over 300 days a year. The Festival of the Sea and Fishermen takes over the port in June, and September brings bull races and water jousting. Check marina services before an off-season visit.
