The seventh tranche :

       It consists of the Rue du Ponant and l'Île au Couchant, with 86 houses.
       Work began in January 1969 and the first houses were delivered in spring 1970.

       For this section, François SPOERRY rectified a small problem that had arisen during the construction of the previous sections:
       Walking is not necessarily a universal passion. At the end of the 1960s, the car was already ubiquitous and few owners seemed enthusiastic about leaving their cars in the entrance car parks.
       For this reason, the architect was obliged to introduce a significant innovation in this section:
                         Placing car parks near the houses. Thus in the middle of Rue du Ponant, the new co-owners could leave their vehicles in numbered spaces. On the other hand, if the houses on the left of the street kept small gardens, the facade of those on the right side, opens directly onto the street.

L'île du Couchant :

the 8ème tranche :

       It consists of the Isle aux Pins with 40 houses grouped around a very pretty square shaded by a magnificent umbrella pine that the architect preserved:        The construction plans included this majestic guest, who thus found himself in the middle of a vast garden quay...

       This area of Port Grimaud is certainly the most beautiful, the most luxuriant. The quietest too. It is reached by a small bridge with two arches. Then you have to cross, like a border, a vast porch which delimits the entrance.

Le pin parasol :

       This majestic pine, saved by the architect who preferred to build the island around it rather than spider it, lived until 2008. A heavy storm hit the city. The pine was destroyed by the violent wind and heavy rain that soaked the ground...
