About Port Grimaud
Port Grimaud is a seaside town within the commune of Grimaud, created by the architect François Spoerry in the 1960s on former marshes of the river Giscle, on the bay of Saint-Tropez. Canals were cut through it in a Venetian manner, which is why it gets called the Venice of Provence, and the houses copy the fishermen's houses of Saint-Tropez. Most of the town's properties come with a boat berth, which is why boat owners like it. Spoerry also designed the church, which has stained glass by Victor Vasarely. The homes sit in one tight cluster, mostly with a single bedroom, and only a minority have a private pool or a garden. Off season, check which restaurants and boat services are running.
