How to be very very lazy in
Marseillan and a lot of Languedoc
by Laurence Phillips
Marseillan, on the Etang de Thau lagoon, is the perfect base for exploring Languedoc-Roussillon: travel beyond the vines, from mountain to sea; Montpellier’s city lights to Hérault’s rugged Gorges; bustling Béziers to quaint Bouzigues; pastel-shaded canal quays in Sète to Molière’s Pézenas. In this new guide, part diary, part secret address book, discover the oldest village in France; the Marseillan of pirates & poets, heroes & troubadours.
Annecdotes and memories: good honest travel writing meets serious lunching (over 150 restaurants reviewed, countless evenings and encounters recalled).
This latest guide to the Languedoc is unique in that it is the real rural community of fisherfolk and winegrowers, from the coast to the black moutains, the Canal du Midi to the sea, that are at the heart of the region. The cities are places to visit on the outskirts of the real villages.
