Gruissan Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

As you drive along the picturesque shoreline of the Étang de Gruissan, you will discover breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the vast lagoon. This serene coastal landscape offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. You can explore the charming village of Gruissan, with its narrow, winding streets and historic fortifications. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy fresh seafood in one of the many waterfront restaurants or relax on the sandy beaches.

Superb view of the Barbarossa tower which is located in the coastal village of Gruissan. It overlooks the ruins of a fortified castle which is listed as a historical monument!

Our Lady of the Auzils Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This chapel was built to commemorate lost seafarers from Gruissan at sea. On the way to the chapel grave stones of the sailors can be seen. The oldest tombstone is from 1840.

In the chapel, surviving seafarers painted pictures of their ships and other motifs of the seafaring. So it is a chapel that is not comparable to any other chapel.

The view from up there is unique in fine weather.

Attention: The chapel is not always open. Down the parking lot, however, is a sign indicating whether open or closed.

Gruissan Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

The L'Etangs de Gruissan are brackish water lakes that communicate with the sea via the Canal de Grazel. In some places you can see bizarre salt formations that are caused by partial drying out due to the strong sunlight.

The Roc de Conilhac, a LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) site located in the middle of the ponds, is a paradise for nature and bird lovers. This rocky promontory, surrounded by vast expanses of water and marshes, offers an exceptional view of the ponds and the wildlife that inhabits them. It is a privileged place to observe the migratory birds that stop in this nature reserve, in a peaceful and preserved setting.
