Historical Background

La Grande Motte is a very interesting location to have a meeting. It was an attempt by the French to manage tourism without destroying the coastal regions, like what happened in many Spanish resorts. In the 60's the built a new town in the swamps of the outer Camargue but with fantastic beaches, in a very modern and open style. There are no real high rises and almost all buildings are build in a pyramid shape, allowing everybody a balcony and a lot of light. April is probably the best month in the year to visit this area.
