Region
Within a short drive: oyster villages, salt lagoons, Roman cities and Catalan markets.
On your doorstep
The village itself: narrow lanes, a pink salt lagoon, vineyards running down to the sea and the long wild beach of La Franqui. Bakery, market and a handful of good addresses for oysters and wine — all within walking distance.
30 km
Roman capital of southern Gaul. Skip the busy seafront and head to the gothic cathedral and Les Halles, the city's covered food market — the best Saturday morning in the Aude.
45 km
Catalan in feel: palm-lined squares, pink-brick architecture, tapas bars and a working fishing port. Worth a day.
10 km
Salt lagoons full of flamingos and the famous Réserve Africaine — an open-range safari park you can drive through. A favourite with families.
