Bouzigues, Coastal commune in Hérault, France.
Bouzigues sits on the northwestern shore of Étang de Thau lagoon, featuring traditional fishing houses and an active port with two separate basins for pleasure craft and commercial fishing vessels.
Since the 19th century, Bouzigues has developed as a center for oyster farming and fishing, with its economy revolving around seafood harvesting in the shallow waters of the Étang de Thau.
The commune celebrates its maritime heritage through annual oyster festivals held in late summer, where visitors can taste fresh local produce accompanied by music and regional folklore performances.
Visitors can access Bouzigues via local roads connecting to Montpellier and Sète, with parking facilities near the port and tourism information centers providing resources on local attractions and dining options.
Bouzigues maintains traditional boat building and seafood processing crafts passed down through generations, with local artisans still producing handcrafted goods reflecting the area's maritime legacy.
