A small lighthouse, a jetty, and blue as far as the eye can see. The Pointe des Onglous, where the Canal du Midi flows into the Thau lagoon, is an ode to contemplation. The pond reveals itself in 360°, as does its oyster farming vocation, with the azure sky and the silhouette of Mont Saint-Clair in the background. A picture that also features the town and port of Marseillan, the wild expanses of the Maldormir district, the tip of the lido, and old salt pans.

Nice spot, especially for stopping to eat as there are benches with a view (and even picnic tables for the more demanding): perfect!
