Location

Marseillan is a picturesque little town between Sète and Béziers. Located on the Etang de Thau with its many oyster farmers, it used to be an active fishing port. The village finds itself at the end of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Canal du Midi. Discover this pleasant town via the quais of the port, while enjoying seafood at one of the many restaurants overlooking the boats. The town itself is nice to explore as well, with its maze of little streets, the 17th century Church of Saint John the Baptist, and the traditional covered market hall. The long sandy beach of nearby Marseillan Plage is perfect for building sandcastles and enjoying a refreshing swim or other nautical sports. Or you can walk or bike along the Canal du Midi, which goes all the way to Toulouse. Besides the oyster farms, another culinary excursion could be to La Maison Noilly-Prat, France's first vermouth manufacturer. Here you can book a range of experiences, from shaking cocktails to a vermouth tasting.
