Encountering the living world
Set amongst lagoons, the Mediterranean, garrigue, wetlands and the Gardiole massif, the Thau Archipelago is home to a biodiversity that is as rich as it is fragile.

Winegrowing: a history with deep roots
Since ancient times, vines have been an integral part of the history of the Thau Archipelago.
