Wine
Tasting No trip to France would be complete
without a visit to a vineyard for a little "degustation".
Not far from Marseillan on the route to Pezenas
you will stumble across Monsieur et Madame Moret
who will welcome you into their cave at the Domaine
la Grangette to taste (without obligation to
buy) some of the nicest wines of the region. His
speciality is a Picpoul de Pinet Rose - something
unique to his vineyard.
Sailing
The Etang de Thau is superb sailing water, from
surfboards to catamarans. And with the local Sailing
Club offering lessons, and boat hire, this is a
great way to spend a day.
Aqualand
If the children want to let off steam, what better
way than a day at the water park at Cap dAgde.
There is a regular bus service from the railway
station at Agde right to the door of Aqualand.
Dinosaur Park
There is plenty to do for everyone including a Dinasor
Park and Nature Park.
Beaches
The Mediterranean is only 3 miles away. Whether
you want to lay out in the sun, swim, or walk, the
golden sand and glistening water will appeal to
most people. Stretching from Marseillan Plage to
Sete with its beach bars for a simple lunch, and
all the way to Spain in the other direction.
Pools
At the nearby town of Sete there is a swimming pool
and flumes
Canoeing
There
is such a thing as a gentle rapid, I promise! We
weren't sure what to expect the first time, but
the 12 kilometer route above St
Guilhem le Desert is great. Stopping when you
want for a picnic, or to swim, the day will take
between 4 and 6 hours.
