Marseillan

This historic seaside town still has the character of a traditional fishing village, but offers plenty to do, including sailing (from the marina and sailing school) sea fishing, horse riding and tennis.

Marseillan - Seaside Resorts France

Marseillan has retained its character as an authentic southern town: sun-drenched, relaxed and welcoming. Every summer, this friendly seaside resort takes on a party atmosphere. Marseillan-Plage stands midway between Cap d’Agde and Sète and is a sailing port ideally suited for families. It is situated at the mouth of the Canal de Pisse-Saumes, a man-made waterway linking the Thau Lagoon with the sea. This means you can choose between leisure boating on the lagoon or sailing in the sea.
