Le Spinaker

Le Grau-du-Roi is a commune in the Gard department in southern France. It is the only commune in Gard to have a frontage on the Mediterranean. To the west is the Herault department and La Grande-Motte village, and to the east is the Bouches-du-Rhone department. Using the sea as a vantage point, the commune has four distinct sections: the right beach, the Village, the left beach, Port-Camargue and L'Espiguette. Immediately landwards are the large shallow étangs, saline marshes, which separate it from Aigues Mortes, a neighboring mediaeval walled city that used to be a port. The étangs are home to numerous flamingoes.

When you arrive in Le Grau-du-Roi, your first stop should be the beach. This town boasts some of the most beautiful sandy shores in the region, making it the perfect place to soak up the sun and relax. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean sea, or simply lounge on the sand and enjoy the stunning views.

After a day at the beach, head into town to explore the local culture and cuisine. Le Grau-du-Roi is famous for its fresh seafood, so be sure to try some of the local specialties like bouillabaisse or grilled sea bream. Wander through the charming streets of the old town, and admire the colorful buildings and picturesque architecture.
