Getting around by boat and ferry Languedoc Roussillon

The port of Leucate is one of the largest European marinas in the Mediterranean. It has had the "Blue Flag" label since 1990 because of the care taken to protect its natural environment. In concrete terms, it has 1,200 moorings divided into three basins and a marina in the naturist village. Bordered by a large beach, it is an irresistible tourist stop and a stopover. As a bonus, it is possible to buy fresh fish directly at the arrival of the boats at the Quai des Pêcheurs, on the side of the central basin.

An old fishing village, Les Cabanes de Fleury was once made up of modest reed huts, typical of 19th century Aude coastal villages. Nowadays, this pretty seaside resort is a pleasant stop for families, walkers and photographers. Its beautiful wild beach, where naturism is allowed on a part, extends to Saint-Pierre. It is also a dream haven for yachtsmen, who can count on the pontoons of the port, located one mile (1.6 km) from the mouth of the Aude, with its 230 moorings all year round, plus 80 in summer.

Narbonne's picturesque marina is located south of Narbonne, on the Etang de Bages. Accessible by sea from Port-la-Nouvelle, La Nautique, despite its modernity, is over 2,000 years old. When the Romans founded Narbo Martius in 118 BC, they chose this site for their main landing stage. Today, it's a tourist attraction, attracting yachtsmen and holidaymakers alike for its marina atmosphere.

Located at the gates of Saint-Pierre-la-Mer, this small harbour has a harbour master's office, sanitary blocks and 600 pitches available for hire all year round.

Located on the Canal du Midi, near the train station, the charming little marina of Carcassonne offers 47 berths, supervised during the day by the harbor master's office and at night by a security company.
