Guide

Entrance at the mouth of the Giscle river, on the west shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Dredged channel with red and green jetty lights. Maximum draught 3 m. Exposed to the east wind which sets a chop across the gulf. Call on VHF 9 before entering. Saint-Tropez lies 3 nautical miles across the bay to the east.

History
Port-Grimaud was designed from 1966 by Alsatian architect François Spoerry on reclaimed marshland. The village was classified as 20th-century heritage by the French Ministry of Culture in 2002.
Story
François Spoerry refused to sell any of the houses to companies or rental pools, to keep the village as a lived-in place. He himself is buried in the small lakeside chapel he designed.
