Grand Travers, Sand beach in La Grande-Motte, France
Grand Travers extends along the Mediterranean coast with fine sand and regular waves that attract swimmers and sunbathers throughout the summer season.
The beach developed alongside La Grande-Motte resort town, which was constructed in the 1960s as part of the Languedoc-Roussillon coastal development program.
Local residents and visitors gather at Grand Travers for traditional summer activities, including beach volleyball tournaments and sand castle competitions.
Dogs are permitted year-round at access point 60, with dedicated parking spaces located directly across from the beach entrance.
The beach maintains a special section where dogs can swim freely in the Mediterranean waters, making it a preferred destination for pet owners.
