About the location

Marseillan Ville

The apartment is located in the centre of the town, on a quiet street. Boulangeries, supermarket, shops, restaurants and bars are all within walking distance, the charming old port is a 5 minute walk as well as gorgeous walks along the Thau Pond and a 10-minute drive (3 miles / 5kms) to the beautiful sandy beaches. Cycle routes from the town all along the Etang and to the beaches.

Marseillan is a very pretty small town on the Etang de Thau, the second largest lake in France. It lies at the eastern end of the Canal du Midi, the 240km Unesco world heritage site. The lagoon has more than 700 Mediterranean species, including seahorses, it is renowned for its oysters and mussels, some of the best in France.

It is a living village 12 months of the year, summer and winter with Fetes and Festivals throughout the year. (I would be happy to recommend places to visit, what's on when!)

It is approximately 3 miles (5kms) from town to the beautiful Mediterranean with its long sandy beaches. It sits between the larger towns of Sète 23 kms and Agde 8.2kms. It is 8 km from Cap d`Agde and the cities of Montpelier 49 kms, Narbonne 53kms and Bezier 32 kms.

The town has grown around the medieval centre with its character filled narrow streets. La Maison Noilly Prat vermouth is located beside the protected 17th-century harbour, which is filled with thriving cafes, restaurants and bars. Every Tuesday, there is the Grand Marché de Marseillan which is held all year round in the heart of the town. Here you can find all sorts of local seasonal produce and craft products.
