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 d’Agde. 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.
