In this charming land, ancestral traditions still flourish in everyday life: the salt makers still harvest their salt, reed cutters continue to cut reeds for thatching homes and crafting mattresses, and Camargue bulll ranchers continue to tend their herds, selecting the strongest animals for local races.
Marseillan is one of those rare and charming villages that has remained preserved and is set beyond the typical tourist itineraries. Nestling on the bank of the Étang de Thau, its people make a living from the cultivation of oysters and the distillation of Noilly Prat.
In the village bordering the port, immerse yourself in the past, strolling through ancient cobblestone-paved lanes featuring authentic shops and picturesque stone houses with striking facades. Discover the porches of traditional middle-class bourgeois houses, the Stature de la République, the Saint Jean-Baptiste church or the town’s theatre and the imposing town hall.
On the left bank, you will find a host of small bars and restaurants, like the legendary Taverne du Port or La Maison de Camille, a cool and convivial pancake shop. Eastwards, indulge in the convivial environment of Tabarka, a small popular beach with a collective barbecue, a kid’s playground and skateboard ramp.
The Thau Basin
A wonderful inland sea of 7500 hectares, separated from the Mediterranean by a vast sand barrier, the Lido, which goes from Cap d’Agde to Sète.
Étang de Thau is one of the largest saline lakes of the Languedoc-Roussillon and communicates with the open sea by two channels: the Pisses-Saumes channel and the Quilles canal west of Sète. It also marks the official end of the Canal du Midi at Les Onglous. About 200 Marseillan shellfish farmers carry out their activities here.
The “gourgs”, as they are locally known, are protected wild and marshy wetlands. They are very numerous around Étang de Thau and provide a habitat for a variety of wild animals, notably pink flamingos that can be observed throughout the year.
Canal du Midi
It is exactly at Marseillan that Canal du Midi terminates in the Mediterranean Sea in front of the remarkable Pointe des Onglous.
Curving through the Languedoc countryside is Canal du Midi. Dug by man under the reign of Louis XIV, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this superb canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Garonne and the Atlantic Ocean.
Initially named Royal Canal, French revolutionists renamed it Canal du Midi in 1789. The wheat trade justifying its construction, the canal is regarded as the largest construction project of the 17th century: 14 years of work along 240 kilometres, 15,000 workmen and all the audacity and personal fortune of the ingenious civil engineer Pierre-Paul Riquet, a Bitterois native.
