Port Communal du Riou

4.0 (341 reviews)

Port Communal du Riou is a dedicated motor boat marina with 150 slips, sitting just outside Grasse — the perfume capital of France — so you've got a genuinely unique combo of nautical life and world-famous fragrance heritage right on your doorstep. It's a no-frills, locals-first kind of spot where you can sort your moorings and get out exploring the French Riviera hinterland without the circus of the coastal mega-ports.
