Parc naturel régional de la Narbonnaise en Méditerranée
Parc naturel régional de la Narbonnaise en Méditerranée, Regional natural park in Aude, France.
The park spans 70,000 hectares of Mediterranean coastline, containing lagoons, wetlands, salt flats, and the Corbières maritime mountains with peaks reaching 707 meters.
The establishment of this protected area in 2003 marked a significant step in preserving one of the last large natural sites along the French Mediterranean coast.
The Grand Castélou, a former vineyard estate, now functions as the Maison de la Narbonnaise, offering educational programs about local ecology and conservation methods.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, cycling paths, and bird watching spots throughout the park, with information centers providing maps and guidance.
The park contains several brackish lagoons, including Bages-Sigean, La Palme, and Gruissan, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a natural sand barrier.
