The Great Pyramid

Highlight • Other

The "Grande Pyramide" was designed in 1974 by Jean Balladur in collaboration with Jean Bernard Tostivint and is in a way the "flagship", the emblem of La Grande Motte. Their design language corresponds to the striking silhouette of the Pic Saint-Loup mountain in the north of Montpellier. In addition, the pyramid is a kind of border point between the western quarter of La Grande Motte, the "Quartier du Couchant" and the eastern quarter, the "Quartier du Levant". The eastern facade reflects the clear, straight shapes of the buildings of the so-called " male "part of the city again, whereas the curved west side takes up the round building shapes of the so-called" female "part of the city.

Palais des Congrès Jean Balladur

Highlight • Other

The architect Jean Balladur wanted to give the assembly center in La Grande Motte a decidedly different shape compared to the neighboring pyramids. He was therefore inspired by the shape of a pebble when designing the building. The two congress rooms now also resemble two horizontal barrels which, according to the artist, should represent a "puits de science" - a scientific fountain - from which the congress participants can draw new knowledge.

Between the Étang du Méjean and the Étang de l'Arnel

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful stretch of cycle path between the two lakes "Étang du Méjean" and "Étang de l'Arnel". If you're lucky, you might even spot a few flamingos in the shallow waters of the lakes.
