Port-Grimaud fut conçu par l'architecte alsacien

François Spoerry (1912-1999) qui s'inspira du patrimoine

méditerranéen pour concilier l'art de vivre

provençal et les procédés de construction les plus

modernes. Aujourd'hui, c'est 7 km de canaux et 12 km

de quais qui forment Port-Grimaud, soit un ensemble

de 90 hectares qui accueille chaque année environ

500 000 visiteurs. Pas une maison ne ressemble à

une autre et chaque couleur de façade et volets a été

répertoriée afin de conserver les tonalités d'origine

lors des travaux d'entretien.

Port-Grimaud was designed by the Alsatian architect

François Spoerry (1912-1999), who drew his inspiration

from the Mediterranean heritage to reconcile the Provençal

art of living with the most modern construction

methods. Today, there are 7 km of canals and 12 km of

quays in Port-Grimaud, covering 90 hectares all told,

an area that welcomes some 500,000 visitors each

year. No one house is like another, and the colour of

every façade and shutter has been listed so as to preserve

the original tones during maintenance work.
