Club Med, La Palmyre
Installed on the coast, in the heart of a pine forest, this vacation village retains its natural structure. Intimate hamlets, installed on platforms, communicate by weaving footpaths. Terraces and bay windows open onto the forest. The wooden constructions and bright colors used recall the marine atmosphere. The village, organized on a north-south axis, is denser in its centers, and disperses as it extends towards the sea.
