Côte d'Améthyste explained

The Côte d'Améthyste (in French pronounced as /kot dametist/; Catalan; Valencian: Costa Ametista;) is a name given to most of the Mediterranean coast of the Occitanie region in France along the Gulf of Lion.

Geography

The coast stretches across 180 km and includes the Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Hérault, and Gard departments. It is bordered by the Côte Vermeille to the south and Camargue to the east.^[1] Along it are a series of lagoons, such as the Étang de Thau, Palavas ponds, and Étang de Leucate.

Tourism

Plans to develop the Languedoc-Roussillon coastline while preserving its nature, known as Mission Racine, were passed by the French Government in 1963. Resorts such as Cap d'Agde, La Grande-Motte, and Port Leucate were established. An increase in local population growth has since been reported.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
