The "Grande Pyramide" was designed in 1974 by Jean Balladur in collaboration with Jean Bernard Tostivint and is in a way the "flagship", the emblem of La Grande Motte. Their design language corresponds to the striking silhouette of the Pic Saint-Loup mountain in the north of Montpellier. In addition, the pyramid is a kind of border point between the western quarter of La Grande Motte, the "Quartier du Couchant" and the eastern quarter, the "Quartier du Levant". The eastern facade reflects the clear, straight shapes of the buildings of the so-called " male "part of the city again, whereas the curved west side takes up the round building shapes of the so-called" female "part of the city.
