Only one outing for the 3 Port-Grimauds :

       In the high season it became increasingly dangerous for motorists coming from Grimaud or Sainte Maxime to cross the main road to get to the lake town, which had become a popular place to visit. It was decided to build an interchange.

       Faced with the growing success of PG1 and anxious to preserve the neighbouring land of the first entity from the arrival of new promoters, Mr SPOERRY created the "SCI Baie de Saint-Tropez" to buy these plots of land bounded by the national road, the river Giscle and Port Grimaud 1 and the sea. On January 21, 1969, this new company signed an agreement with the town hall for the construction of a real estate complex comprising 700 housing units called PORT GRIMAUD II. This preliminary agreement stipulated that the PORT GRIMAUD II complex was to have only one access on the RN98 with the PORT GRIMAUD 1 complex.

Purchase of land :

      The 'SCI Baie de Saint Tropez' was to buy the land for the construction of the interchange, i.e. 5 plots of land with a surface area of 6834m2 from owners who were not always cooperative.
       The building permits for the first phases of PG2 were accepted in July 1969, then September 1973 and June 1974. But the permit for the 4th phase on 18 December 1974 was refused by the Administration because the interchange had not yet been built!

Underground :

       The architect's first choice, which was in line with the local residents, was to create an underground interchange.

Aerial :

      However, given the technical imperatives of keeping the roadway out of the water, the risk of flooding from the nearby river, and the higher cost of the work, this idea was discarded in favor of an interchange spanning the national highway at a height of 7.50 m.
