LE GRAND MOTTE
27TH MAY 2022
We have been doing quite a few trips into some larger towns like Arles and Vitrolles to buy things for the boat. Today we travelled to Le Grand Motte which is west of Port Saint Louis and was also the destination of our trip we had to cancel in April 2020 due to COVID.
Le Grand Motte hosts a boat show, generally most years, that specialize in catamarans which was our reason for planning the trip in 2020 and because we were so close to the town we decided to take a drive and check it out.
What Le Grand Motte is know for other than being the place where Outremer catamarans are made, is the crazy architecture. The beachside town was only created in the early 1970's by a Turkish architect Jean Balladur but the style is really out there.
