By the
Sea.

A lively Mediterranean seaside village with 7km of Blue Flag beaches, pink flamingo lagoons, a colourful lighthouse, and a daily fishermen's market selling fresh tuna, mackerel, and sea bream alongside a 100-hectare marine reserve.

A warm, family-friendly seaside resort 15 km from Montpellier, Carnon-Plage offers sandy beaches, a peaceful pedestrian marina, water sports, and easy motorway and airport access — plus cycling paths and a gentle year-round microclimate on the Gulf of Aigues-Mortes.

Two wild, car-free beaches stretching nearly 9km south-west of Montpellier, holding the Blue Flag for 31 years, plus an 11th-century Romanesque cathedral en route — reached by footbridge, tourist train, or bike across vineyards and lagoons.
