The fisherman’s

view

Port Grimaud, originally conceived for fishermen and their boats, is mostly used by pleasure boats who use the moorings on the quay. So don’t miss this colorful little fishing boat in the Rue du Septentrion.

The view of

the architect’s house

The house built by and for François Spoerry, the architect of Port Grimaud, is located at the far end of l’Île Longue (Long Island).

It can be seen from the church’s panoramic terrace and also from the quays as you stroll along. The best way to approach it is by canal, on an electric boat trip.

Set sail, take to the seas (or canals) and marvel at the most unusual house in Port Grimaud.
