A BIT OF HISTORY

One of the main resorts of the Languedoc region, La Grande Motte is a thriving summer seaside resort that was purpose built in the mid-1960s. The resort is characterised by its distinctive pyramidal buildings, inspired by the pyramids of Mexico. Created by architect Jean Balladur, they were a real sensation at the time because of their bold design, and they have remained popular: the 16-storey Grande Pyramide, built in 1974, still dominates the skyline.
