About the location

The typically French village of Marseillan Ville is a little gem nestling in the Southern coastal vineyards of Languedoc-Rousillon at the start of the Canal du Midi, which winds its way from the Mediterranean towards the Atlantic.  Marseillan Ville is a small harbour set on a large sea water lagoon called the Bassin de Thau, which separates the village from the adjacent Mediterranean Sea.  The lagoon, famous for oyster and mussel cultivation, also attracts many fishermen, windsurfers, sports sailors and flamingos alike!

Walking through this friendly medieval village you will immediately transcend into the typical charming Southern French village with its XVII Century stone town houses, once used for storing and producing wine from the local vineyards, Oleander lined streets and cafes and restaurants, many situated alongside the boats in the port.  In the village, supplementing the street market and modern supermarché you will also find many specialist shops selling oysters and local wines to supplement your lunch or dinner.

Arriving at the Port of Marseillan Ville you will be reminded of what St. Tropez may have been like 30 or 40 years ago.  This is where many visitors from the Canal du Midi boats moor up to spend the evening in the restaurants and cafés bordering the port.  The famous 'chais' and showrooms of Noilly Prat can be found here as well as small antique 'treasure' shops.  A rather grand XVII Century baroque mansion stands proudly by the port, built by the original architect of the Canal du Midi around 1680.

Marseillan Ville, dating back to the 6th Century BC, will take you back in time and will make your holiday most relaxing and memorable by catering to all of your senses.
