The old historic town of Marseillan and the nearby Marseillan Plage are located in the Hérault department, on the Southern coast of France. While Marseillan is a protected heritage site, famous for its natural saltwater lagoons, adjacent Marseillan Plage is a popular Mediterranean coastal resort with six kilometres of fine sands and clear, warm waters. This makes the area ideal for swimming and many other water sports centered in and around both areas.



Marseillan Plage has a wide variety of cafes and restaurants, excellent camping sites, an RV park and a number of gites and guest houses, offering a wide variety of facilities and accommodation both for the individual and family holidays.
