Travel Guide Sauvian

The small village of Sauvian escapes the tourist pressure, it shelters in the heart of the plain, inviting the walker to a moment of tranquility. Bordered by the Orb river which nourishes its agricultural lands planted with olive groves, and by its hillside where the AOC wine grape varieties blossom, the village has a beautiful heritage that one discovers at the bend of the streets. Its church Saint-Corneille-et-Saint-Cyprien (14th and 15th centuries), the Porte de l'Horloge (12th century), its feudal castle or its fountain with obelisk. If its landscapes can be admired during pleasant strolls, its soil can be savored: don't miss the three markets of the city where the merchants will know how to awaken your taste buds. Market gardeners, wine growers, oyster farmers and fishermen share their products and can also reveal some good recipes! Close to the coast and its fine sandy beaches, and not far from the Canal du Midi, Sauvian is a choice stopover for a vacation in Occitania.
