Palavas-les-Flots, Mediterranean coastal resort in Hérault, France
The Palavas-les-Flots coastline extends along sandy beaches between the Mediterranean Sea and two inland lakes, the Étang de l'Arnel and Étang du Méjean.
The settlement evolved from a fishing village into a tourist destination after the construction of a railway connection to Montpellier in 1872.
Local fishermen maintain the traditional practice of selling their daily catch directly at the port, contributing to the preservation of regional fishing methods.
The town provides extensive cycling paths and pedestrian areas along the coast, with direct tram connections to neighboring cities for convenient transportation.
The former water tower reaches 45 meters high and features a rotating restaurant at its summit, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline.
