La Grande Motte belongs to a particular strand of 20th-century architecture – one that dreams about utopias, happiness and wellbeing. Located in the south of France and largely completed in the 1960s and 1970s, this is a community crafted as a resort town. Defined by its monumental, bold, modernist architecture and engulfed in greenery, it remains to this day a popular holiday destination, reportedly welcoming approximately 100,000 to 120,000 tourists during the summer season.
Photographers Laurent Kronental and Charly Broyez were captivated by La Grande Motte's charms. Earlier this year, they revisited the thriving community to capture it through their lens, producing a photographic series titled La Cité Oasis.
