Port Grimaud, a chic village just along the coast from St. Tropez, was purpose-built in the 1960s by architect François Spoerry. Designed to evoke the charm of a mini Venice, the town features a network of canals and brightly painted buildings. Visitors can explore the waterways, stroll along the picturesque streets, and enjoy the unique blend of modern architecture and traditional Provençal style. Today, Port Grimaud stands as a popular and distinctive destination on the Côte d’Azur, offering a serene and visually captivating experience.
