Visit<\/mark> the Etang de Thau<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The Etang de Thau, also known as the Bassin de Thau, is the largest body of water in Occitanie<\/strong>. Located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, it covers an area of over 70 km\u00b2, or almost 7,000 ha. Visitors particularly appreciate the variety ofsporting and water sports activities<\/strong> on offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitesurfing, sailing, diving and paddle boarding are all available. For the less adventurous, kayak or boat excursions<\/strong> allow you to explore the Etang de Thau and its nooks and crannies, islets and oyster farms, as well as the small fishing ports of Bouzigues, Marseillan and M\u00e8ze<\/strong>. The Etang de Thau is undoubtedly one of the must-see sites in the H\u00e9rault<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n

And while some are adventurous enough to fly over it, others like to explore it via its banks. On foot, mountain bike, quad bike or horseback<\/strong>, there’s no shortage of means of transport around this gigantic, emblematic H\u00e9rault basin, separated from the Mediterranean by only a thin strip of sand. This unspoilt natural environment is less than 30 minutes from the Etang de Thau campsite<\/strong>, and offers the chance to admire hundreds of animal and plant species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exceptional ecological diversity is just one of the H\u00e9rault region’s many must-see tourist attractions during your next stay at Domaine Sainte V\u00e9ziane.<\/p>\n\n
