  • Admire the boats on the marina

After a day full of activities, sometimes the best thing to do is simply to take the time to relax and admire a beautiful setting, in this case the town’s marina. While the harbour itself is a gem for the local heritage, the scenery is most sublime for the boats – barges, sailboats, catamarans, rowboats – that park there or leave.

  • Bike ride

Marseillan has many cycle paths, some of which allow you to criss-cross the banks of the Etang de Thau. It is possible to hire a bike on site, for a day or half day. One of the routes regularly used by cyclotourists runs along the right bank of the pond, passing through Mèze and Sète and then returning via the south bank. The route is especially attractive because it allows you to enjoy exceptional views, on the sea as well as on the pink flamingos that populate the pond in particular.

  • Taste the vermouth of the House of Noilly Prat
  • .

The Maison Noilly Prat welcomes you to the banks of the Etang de Thau. It has specialised since 1913 in the manufacturing of vermouth, a flavoured wine whose reputation extends far beyond the borders of the Occitan region.
