Local Area Details

The old village of Gruissan is a 5 minute walk around the beautiful etang or salt lake which is a popular stop for flamingos much of the year. The village, once the home of fishermen and salt-pan workers has houses set in concentric circles around the ruin of the Barbarossa tower. There is a busy market on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings where every type of produce is available. The local caves produce award winning Corbieres wines. The port has small supermarkets and gift shops as well as many good restaurants.
The new resort of Gruissan is built on the shores of the Grazel Etang, which protects it from the wide-open sea. Within walking or cycling distance are the beautiful beaches of Gruissan Plage with its unusual chalets built on stilts to protect them from the sea, and the salt works at I’lle Saint Martin. All water sports are catered for, there are hiking trails and bikes are easy to hire.
The popularity of Gruissan lies not only in its unique position but also its geographical location as an ideal centre from which to explore the Massif de la Clape, Carcassonne with its magical fortress Cite, the unique towns of Montpellier, Beziers and Perpignan, the Corbieres Mountains with the stunning Cathar castles, and the World Heritage site of the Canal du Midi.

There is a regular bus service into Narbonne which is 12 kilometres inland. The town, once an ancient maritime centre and the Roman capital of the province, has a magnificent cathedral and archaeological museum. Les Halles opens every morning and the colourful market takes over the plane tree shaded boulevards on Thursdays and Sundays. The timeless Canal de la Robine runs through the town centre linking the Canal du Midi to the sea at Port la Nouvelle.
The climate in the Languedoc is Mediterranean with summer temperatures reaching 30deg+ (80f). The region has its own version of the mistral known as the tramontane, which blows periodically from the northwest.
