Le Grau-du-Roi, Mediterranean coastal commune in Gard, France
The harbor of Le Grau-du-Roi extends through the city center with fishing boats and leisure vessels lining both sides of the canal network.
The settlement grew after a storm surge in 1570 created a new channel, leading to its establishment as an independent commune in 1879.
Local maritime traditions remain strong through regular fish markets and seafood festivals that showcase Mediterranean fishing practices throughout the year.
The town connects to Nîmes by direct train service, with the station located 500 meters from the main beach and central market.
Le Grau-du-Roi stands as the sole municipality in the Gard department with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea.
