Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Languedoc Roussillon

From parking to the beach: five hundred metres to travel for non-residents of naturist villages on a hard, horizontal and barrier-free path.

On the beach: swimming is not dangerous.

Symbol of the wild beauty of the Côte Vermeille, the listed site of Anse de Paulilles is now a haven of peace. This large cove bathed in greenery is home to 3 beautiful beaches separated by rocky promontories. The site that we are given to see nowadays is the result of the unfailing will of the Conservatoire du Littoral in partnership with the Department, which is now in charge of its management. Guided tours will allow you to discover Paulilles' industrial past and to appreciate the landscape rehabilitation of this exceptional site. A museographic space presents the history of this former dynamite works. A new one-hour guided tour entitled "Cap au Sud" (Heading South) will allow you to immerse yourself in the daily life of the dynamite workers in the 1970s. Don't forget to visit L'atelier des Barques, where marine carpenters will show you the restoration work on Catalan boats. From the lookout, you will have a 360° panorama of the cove of Paulilles. This is the favourite site of the Catalans when the fine weather is coming. An advice in high season, come early in the morning or late in the evening. A magnificent hiking trail allows you to walk along the creeks and climb up to the lighthouse at Cap Béar. On the way, beautiful discovery of the local flora and small hidden coves. From the summit, the view is breathtaking over the Vermeille coast to the south and the Gulf of Lion to the north. Simply magical!

From the plateau of Poulx, between the school and the stadium, a slow descent in the direction of the Roach promises a smooth and spectacular walk, even though the stony path requires to be well downstairs to walk well. From the first point of departure, the landscape is breathtaking. The Gardon here widened the valley until it got harmonious gorges, less cliffs than those of Tarn or Verdon but with amazing geological particularities. It was here that Henri-Georges Clouzot turned a good part of his Fear of Fear and sent the truck of Yves Montand and Charles Vanel a few hundred metres lower (the carcasses in the precipices did not date from that time). On the edge of the river bed, two mills were recently restored by the joint management union. On the other side you can admire the grotto of La Baume and its hermitage, because the floods of 2002 destroyed the threshold that allowed the Gardon to cross the Gardon on foot or almost. For this other bank, it's Sanilhac that you will have to leave.
