A drive with Esprit M in a Mehari, in Marseillan
|
Be bold and try something different
The Thau Archipelago has its little quirks: handing you the keys to an electric Méhari so you can drive with the wind in your hair in Marseillan, inviting you to go bluefin tuna fishing in the heart of the Mediterranean, or taking you snorkelling to explore the seagrass beds and shellfish of the Thau lagoon. No need to look elsewhere for a touch of the exotic; it’s right here, just around the corner from a picturesque village or in the heart of a walk scented with garrigue.

Sleep differently
And because a trip is just as much about enjoying the night, we’ve swapped the traditional hotel for some unexpected experiences: beach huts or lodges with your feet in the sand, fishermen’s cottages… Every night becomes an adventure, every morning a surprise.
Heading for the lake
Head for Lake Saint-Farriol: an easy 6 km walk leads to this emerald gem nestled in the garrigue. A former bauxite mine, this site offers stunning panoramic views and turquoise waters, far from the hustle and bustle.
📍 Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Get into the autumn spirit
Autumn is also the season for cultural and culinary events. From a festival where art meets gastronomy, a contemporary exhibition at the museum, a guided walk under the stars or a banquet in the vineyards, curiosity is always rewarded. Even Halloween takes on a Mediterranean flavour, with workshops, thrills and festive evenings for young and old alike.
Love the rain
What if the sky turns grey? Don’t panic. Museums, spa treatments, cookery workshops, tastings… We’ve found 10 stylish ways to enjoy the rain. Enough to turn every raindrop into the perfect excuse to explore the Thau Archipelago even further.
In short, here, autumn is never just a blip: it’s a season in its own right, one that surprises, charms and makes you want to extend your getaway.
