Station balnéaire dite Port-Grimaud

Architect François Spoerry, serving as both developer and architect, conceived the resort town of Port-Grimaud starting in 1962, marking his principal work that embodies his urban planning and architectural beliefs, as well as his passion for sailing. This project stands out during a time when many marinas and seaside resorts were being developed; it seeks to establish a close relationship between secondary residences, the sea, and boats. The architectural design draws on literary references to history and vernacular architecture. The marshy shoreline at the Gulf of Saint-Tropez is intricately carved with winding canals.
