At the edge of the Mediterranean, in sunny Herault, Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone will seduce you with its many strengths.

Far from the tumult surrounding resorts, this small town in Languedoc has kept his calm, tranquility and authenticity.

Its proximity to Montpellier, Sète and Palavas les Flots, makes it a favorite spot.

Approaching the coast, along the ponds of Arnel and Vic, the flora and fauna are discovered between heaven and earth. Among the 250 species of birds observed, flamingos, terns, herons and others, offer a fascinating and constantly renewed. Along the Canal du Rhone at Sète, salt marshes and "capetchades", these fishing nets traditional heart-shaped, show a prosperous old farm.

After crossing this timeless landscape, you reach one of the most beautiful coastal beaches, 9 km long and free of any construction. Facing the sea, in lush greenery, the impressive cathedral of Maguelone is a high place in the history of Languedoc.
