Frontignan, Coastal commune in Hérault, France
The town extends between the Mediterranean Sea and Thau Lagoon, with the Gardiole hills rising to the north and the Rhône-Sète canal crossing through its center.
In 1787, Thomas Jefferson visited this Mediterranean town during his wine exploration journey through France, noting the quality of local Muscat production.
The community maintains strong maritime traditions through its active port, technical careening zone, and regular fishing activities along the Mediterranean coast.
The municipality offers direct producer markets, municipal halls, and various shopping facilities, connected by regular transport services to neighboring Montpellier and Sète.
The local Muscat de Frontignan wine carries an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée certification, produced from specific grape varieties grown in the surrounding limestone hills.
