Local activities in and around Marseillan, Languedoc-Roussillon
Almost too much to mention, especially in summer. As Marseillan is situated on the huge L'Etang de Thau salt lake it means most activities focus around the water. There are several sailing schools with boat hire, every type of water sports including kite-surfing and wind-surfing, as well as organised nature trails around the lake.
For those wanting to avoid water there are loads of other activities, including quad-biking, carting, paint-balling, tennis, horse-riding, bicycle rental and a permanent fun-fair situated at Marseillan-Plage. The town has a bird museum, the famous Noilly Pratt distillery and its interesting guided tours, organised historical town tours, a permanent fish market, a bigger Tuesday morning market, and, to top it all, the wonderful port and marina.
For a small town the choice of restaurants is incredible, making it a real epicurean's delight. Top class restaurants include Le Château du Port, La Table d'Emilie and Chez Philippe, while there are also numerous good-value family restaurants over-looking the port. Otherwise the many delights of Languedoc-Roussillon await you. In nearby Agde there is the Aqualand water park, together with a vast marina packed with yachts.
Beaches are also a feature of the immediate area, with huge stretches to explore starting 4kms away from the town, while other local fishing ports on the Etang include Bouzigues and Meze.
The surrounding countryside is magnificent, with an abundance of rolling vineyards and a national park harbouring the cooler climes of the Black Mountains is just half an hour's drive away. Many of the vineyards and wine co-operatives are open to visitors, which means plenty of opportunities to discover the local wines.
