Saint-Francis of Assisi Church

Port Grimaud

Saint-Francis of Assisi Church is the church in Port Grimaud. It was imagined by François Spoerry, the architect of the lacustrian town.

A church of Camargue inspiration

The massive style and the imposing arcatures are reminiscent of the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer church.

Inside, only the nave is sober. Above the platform, you can see a series of stained-glass windows by Victor Vasarely.

The stained-glass windows depict the sun’s trajectory through the day.

An Ecumenical church

Port Grimaud Church is Ecumenical, meaning that it serves all cults originating from western religions.

In Port Grimaud, there is a weekly Protestant service and a Christian mass.

François Spoerry, father of Port Grimaud, rests in the Church of Saint-Francis of Assisi.

Exceptional view on Port Grimaud

From the top of the church tower there is a spectacular view of Port Grimaud, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the plain.

In the distance you can make out the Grimaud village and castle on the hill.

To access the rooftop terrace, go through the turnstile (€2) and climb the spiral staircase (78 steps), then enjoy the magnificent view.
