Bouzigues oyster farms and views of the Étang de Thau

Highlight • Lake

Bouzigues is a must for oyster lovers. Restaurant after restaurant are lined up along the pier. Here you should make sure that you go to a restaurant whose operator is also an oyster farmer (producteur). Unfortunately the community failed to close the parking lots at the pier. In none of the restaurants you have a clear view of the Etang, as this is blocked by parked cars. If you do not have any culinary requirements and only want to eat oysters, it is advisable to enjoy the oysters in one of the producer barracks in front of the actual place. Many have a few seats behind the shop directly on the water with a view of the oyster beds. You sit between the tools of the oyster farmers and enjoy the oysters with a glass of local wine and a sandwich. It doesn't get any fresher.

Stunning view of the Thau Lagoon and Sète

Excellent view of the pond opposite Sète. The 60-kilometer cycle loop around the basin allows you to explore the largest pond in Occitanie up close.

Chemin de la plage, Agde to Sète

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

More precisely, this very beautiful cycle path is located between Marseillane Plage and Sete. Highly recommended, every 500 meters there is a path to the beach. Very often with bike parking facilities

Royal Canal of Sète

Highlight • River

The port of Sète is important in more than one way. First of all, it is a large fishing port. The Sète auction (place for selling freshly landed fish) was the first in Europe to be computerized in 1967. Bidding is no longer done by voice and by show of hand but using a screen. display for the seller and a buy button for each buyer.
It is also an important port for ferries to North Africa. Sète is surrounded by water and is nicknamed the Little Venice of Languedoc. It is both popular and touristy. This port with all its beautiful houses surrounding its main canal is a great discovery to make.

If you pass through this port in summer, don't miss the Sète jousts. Tournaments are held on jousting boats led by a crew of 8 or 10 rowers. They are preceded by a parade of jousters, all dressed in white.
