Le Serpent de Mer 19322

Right by the beaches, this residence is ideally placed. It's clean, well cared for, and secure.

We've stayed at this pleasant residence twice already. It's in a great spot, close to the beach, shops, and lots of restaurants, and there's parking for the car. The downside is that there's no elevator, and the spiral staircase can be difficult as you get older. We hope to come back in June 2024, if we can find a place on the ground floor or first floor.

Built in 1971 between the resort of Port Camargue and Le Grau-du-Roi, this residence sits on the peninsula between the harbor and the bay. Five turrets line the seaward side, like lookout posts watching the moon's phases as it sets. Port Camargue is devoted to the moon, with its crescents and gibbous shapes, while Port Saint-Loup in La Grande-Motte celebrates the sun, from sunrise to sunset. Magical.

The garden is looked after with real care, and the building itself has been preserved very well. It's magnificent seaside architecture from the 1960s.
