Mauguio

Of the Mauguio of the Middle Ages, there remains only one vestige, a castrated motte erected in the middle of the tenth century. Today, a high tower, built in the 20th century, occupies the land and used to serve as a water tower for the municipality. It is the largest artificial cloche in the Middle Ages of Europe. As you walk through the town, do not miss the palace of the Counts-Evêques, classified as Historic Monuments, as well as the old castle of the Counts of Melgueil which possesses some elements of the eighteenth century. In the town center, the garden of La Motte testifies to the richness of Mauguio in medieval times. Inscribed with the Historical Monuments, it reveals the visitors of the hydraulic installations, as well as a very interesting lookout. An exhibition room was set up on the site to trace the history of the feudal clod. L'étang de l'Or is almost entirely on the territory of the commune of Mauguio. Separated from the Mediterranean by a dune strip of 600 meters, it covers 2,500 hectares. It is ideal for a few walks to discover the local fauna and flora. The huts of the Salaison each year host thematic exhibitions. Attached to Mauguio, the seaside resort of Carnon, which developed in the course of the 19th century, offers a charming marina. Lively, it allows you to enjoy the white sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and the restaurants and other terraces of bars that dot the streets and the coastline.

The markets of Mauguio are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays morning. A flower market is also offered on Sunday morning. In the summer period, Carnon also offers a night market on the harbor. From March to September, Camargue races take place in the city's arena. Very old festival, the Romeria takes place in June. It celebrates the imprint of Spanish culture in the city. For three days, guests can enjoy flamenco demonstrations, traditional meals, equestrian shows, Sevillanas and concerts. The votive festival, La Vota, takes place every year at the end of July. It is the scene of several races Camarguaises, a ball or even manades with bulls in semi-freedom in the city. In December, a Christmas market unveils its animations.
