The Lydia is a typical liner of the 1930s. Having sailed the seas until 1967, it was grounded on the beach to become the first “building” in the seaside resort of Port Barcarès. The Lydia or “Sand Liner” is neither a building nor an ordinary ship. The only grounded ocean liner in the world is now also the oldest ocean liner in the world. During the holiday season, the Lydia will host exhibitions, tours and shows.
