Marseillan, Mediterranean coastal commune in Hérault, France
Marseillan extends along the Étang de Thau lagoon, featuring a protected harbor and networks of narrow streets dating from the 12th century.
The Romans established this settlement near the Via Domitia, creating a port that became essential for trade and military operations.
The town maintains strong maritime traditions with regular markets selling local shellfish, particularly oysters from the Étang de Thau lagoon.
The commune offers direct access to the Canal du Midi, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean through a system of waterways.
Since 1853, the Noilly Prat vermouth production facility operates in Marseillan, using local white wines and Mediterranean herbs for its recipes.
