Le Grau-du-Roi

France · Occitanie

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 etangs, saline marshes, which separate it from Aigues Mortes, a neighboring mediaeval walled city that used to be a port.
