Photo - Port Grimaud is a picturesque waterside town designed in the 1960s by architect François Spoerry. With its charming canals, pastel-coloured houses, and moored boats just steps from front doors, it resembles a modern-day Venice, but with a Provençal flair. Built on reclaimed marshland at the edge of the Bay of Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud is entirely pedestrian-friendly, with most travel done by foot or boat. Unlike many towns that evolved over centuries, Port Grimaud was meticulously planned from scratch, Spoerry pioneered the concept of "soft architecture," blending traditional Mediterranean style with modern urban planning. The town was so innovative it earned UNESCO recognition for its unique integration of architecture and waterways.
A tsunami is possible on the French Riviera, even if most occur in the Pacific.
