Phare de la méditerranée

The Phare de la Méditerranée is a ten-story tower standing 45 meters high in Palavas-les-Flots. From the top, visitors can see across the Gulf of Lion and the lagoons that spread along the coast.

Originally built in 1943 as a water tower to serve the town's needs, the structure later underwent renovation. It reopened to the public as a tourist site in 2000 after a major renovation period.

The tower displays work by regional artists alongside exhibits of local craftsmanship and heritage. These collections reflect how maritime traditions have shaped this corner of the coast.

Two elevators make it easy to reach the upper levels without climbing stairs. If you prefer to walk, stairs are also available throughout the tower.

The top floor holds a rotating restaurant where the entire dining space slowly turns, giving guests continuously changing views of the sea. This means your perspective of the coastline shifts throughout your meal.
