Things to see and do Midi-Pyrénées

Municipal authorization of 14 June 1990 on an area of 500 metres between the south relief station and the mouth of the Bourdigou.

The narrowest gorges in the world, with passages less than 80 cm wide, frightened the population, who were convinced that they were inhabited by the bruixes (evil witches). The legends merge with the history, that of the Trabucayres, the highwaymen who raged in the region around 1840. This canyon of 1,700 m long and 200 m deep is so narrow in some places that the daylight does not reach the bottom, it is where the Simiots live, those hideous beings straight out of children's stories.

On an island, an 18th century military fort houses the Albert-Dubout Museum. The Ballestras Redoubt was dismantled stone by stone and reassembled in the centre of the pond. The museum contains the works of the famous draftsman and his particularly colourful caricatures. Attracted by Palavas as early as 1922, Albert Dubout had the gift of making the comic come out of any thing or situation. In addition to the drawings, the exhibition presents Dubout's personal objects (drawing table, pipe, correspondence with Pagnol and Dard...).

The Tourist Office of Marseillan-Plage is available throughout the year for requests for useful information, questions about accommodation or food, about the city's cultural and sports agenda, activities to do in the region, etc.

Located on the leisure island, the park invites you to relax with the numerous rides. There are all tastes and sensations. Those who don't have dizzy can discover the island with the Ferris wheel more than 70 m high, swing on the highest in Europe (70 m high) or climb into the snake, a vertical slide whose departure is 20 m high. The Volante, the Hi Speed, a 40 m high ride or the swirling manège of the Orient Express will delight you with the thrill of thrills. More classical, self-tamponneuses always have success. The Children will come out of the Safari, the baby Orly and the Mini-Grande Wheel. Everything is gathered for fun, fear and thrills, not to mention the traditional stands of doughnuts, the love apple, the beard to daddy…

The citadel and ramparts have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 7 July 2008. A recognition that Mont-Louis shares with Villefranche de Conflent. Having never been a member of a GE, except in a Spanish incursion in 1794 which was quickly pushed back by the ge n\ ral Ral (1736-1794), the strong place has reached its original state. So it's a fairly unique place that we can be able to cover. The story goes back to the Traite ́ des Pyre ́ es, sign in 1659, when the high cantons of Cerdanya and Du become franc. After 20 years, unable to exchange this province of Roussillon against a larger territory of Flanders, Louis XIV de\ acdi to build a strong place at the crossroads of communication routes between Capcir, Cerdanya and Conflent, to mark the new frontie re with Spain. In 1679, he entrusted the construction project to Vauban, which chose this site stratum ́ lysergic. In less than 2 years, it became what it is today, the highest strengthens city of France, and took the name Mont-Louis in honour of the Sun King.
