La Grande-Motte Description
Département: Hérault

Altitude: sea-level

Population: 6,466

The modern holiday center of La Grande-Motte lies on the Golfe du Lion, 10km/6mi west of Aigues- Mortes and 20km/12mi southeast of Montpellier. It is actually not part of Provence but of the adjoining région of Roussillon.

La Grande-Motte came into being in 1974 as the first of the modern holiday centers which are essentially "drawing-board foundations" in the lagoon and dune country west of the Camargue; these centers include Port- Barcarès, Port-Leucate, Valras- Plage and Port-Camargue. It has developed into a huge holiday town, with a sophisticated infrastructure of accommodation, and entertainment and sporting facilities.
