In the Hérault, along the water and by the sea...
The landscapes of the Hérault are also marked by the character of its rivers. Some have carved out breathtaking gorges, while others flow through verdant valleys. Whether you're a lover of beautiful landscapes, a keen nature enthusiast or a keen fisherman, our rivers and canals(such as the Canal du Midi) will never cease to amaze you.
Between sea and pondsthe Hérault coastline has some wonderful protected areas in store for you. Here, the transition from land to sea takes place slowly, naturally and respectfully. You have to pass the lagoons, their string of ponds and the dunes to reach the edge of the Mediterranean. Bullfights, oyster beds, nature reserves colonised by a host of migratory birds are the landmarks of this protected coastline. The pink flamingo is the star of the show!
