Description
Amid La Grande Motte’s white pyramids and colorful awnings, this seaside masterplan extends Jean Balladur’s vision. By redistributing the harbor, relocating ship-crafting sociétés, and integrating housing, commerce, industry, plazas, and a vibrant promenade, it enhances both urban and seaport experiences.
