Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Languedoc Roussillon

We went through it on a daily basis and we did not even see it. Normal, this square of the Crown, which was a real place of life for our grandparents, has experienced the sinister age of the Decrepitness of the Grand Hôtel du Midi. At the end of 2008, the large, successful renovation site of the neighbourhood was finally completed, and the walkers returned to sit on the square. Today, the new restaurants, bars, art galleries, gym, hotels give a real life to this well-rehabilitated neighbourhood. Nearby, the Esplanade still under Restoration at the time we print it is expected to recover its beautiful green face in 2012. The large fountain sculpture of white marble is a pleasure. Sitting in his center, a statue of women headed by a Maison Carrée is a work by James Pradier (1845), grand prix Rome. This majestic victory seems to welcome the traveller upon arrival in Nîmes station. At its side, two naiad represent the source Nemausus and the fountain of Eure, while the two giants, representations of the Rhône and Du, symbolize the powerful strength of the rivers and rivers of the territory.

Decorated in the pure Albert Dubout style, this little train guarantees you a relaxed ride! You have to do it at least once to discover the charms of Palavas in a different way, while savouring a moment of relaxation to the sound of the guide's explanations. On its walls painted in bright colours, the cartoonist's fetish characters come to life. Sometimes, the route is just as he wants it to be, even if it means neglecting the tracks, but it is also this audacity that seduces.

South of Leucate, the cave has been classified Historic Monument since 1924. Ten years earlier, Theodore Héléna discovered six terracotta statuettes dating from the first or second century after J.-C, now visible at the Sigean Museum, which probably represented Greco-Roman deities (Aphrodite, Mercury and Minerve).

The cave itself has 5 siphons, 120 metres long and reaching a depth of 34 metres.

The history of Marseillan is rich, this vestige of the city is a further proof. This porcheron appeared in 1355 in anticipation of the Black Prince's attack, son of the King of England. It came out of the will of the Bishop of Agde to strengthen the door of Agde. Today the monument retains its shape and part of its original stones.

It is the native home of Achille Maffre de Baugé (1855-1928). A friend of Frédéric Mistral, his life was tumultuous and adventurous.
