Drop anchor off La Grande Motte, one of France's most striking planned resort towns, built from scratch in the 1960s with its iconic pyramid-shaped apartment blocks rising straight from the shoreline. The whole place has a retro-futurist vibe that's unlike anything else on the Mediterranean coast. From here you can dinghy ashore to explore the beachfront, the marina buzz, and the Hérault lagoons stretching inland.
From the marina's website, checked Oct 12. Confirm with the marina before arrival.
