Port Grimaud

Port Grimaud is a seaside town that forms part of the

Venetian manner, but with French "fisherman"-style houses resembling those in Saint-Tropez, Spoerry called his style L'architecture douce.^[1]

The town is also known as the "Venice of Provence".^{[citation needed]}

The mostly traffic-free town is popular with boat owners, as most properties include their own berth. The success of the first phase of the development meant that Port Grimaud 2 (extending the town further east) was completed in the 1970s and Port Grimaud 3 in the 1990s.

The local church, the L'eglise œcuménique Saint-François d’Assise (the

Ecumenical Church of St Francis of Assisi) in the Place de L'église (Church Square), was also designed by Spoerry and contains stained glass by Victor Vasarely
