HOLIDAY IN PORT GRIMAUD
France’s Little Venice
by Karen Guthry



Imagine living in the south of France, in a small town by the sea where everyone knows your name. Your neighbor’s kids and your kids are best friends. You spend your afternoons outdoors, enjoying the warm sunshine. Your boat is moored to the jetty at the edge of your front lawn. You go fishing whenever you want. If you’re not playing golf, you take the boat out through the canals, cruising the open sea and coasting the Riviera while your family sunbathes on the deck, like a bunch of lazy sea lions.

Port Grimaud is a dream-come-true for boating fans. Designed in 1966 by French architect-sailor Francois Spoerry, the small holiday town is just a stone’s throw from Saint Tropez. No two houses are exactly alike and each has its own boat mooring.

Four miles northeast of Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud captures the atmosphere of a Venetian-style fishing village. It’s network of canals, pastel-colored houses, small stone bridges, pretty streets and squares with sidewalk cafes, boutiques and restaurants make this classified historical monument a unique resort.
