If you are looking for a holiday that is stress free, situated in beautiful surroundings, the best there is to offer from shellfish and wine, you could not choose a better place to be than Marseillan.
I was speaking with a gentleman I have known for some years who lives on a boat in the port - we were discussing the various aspects and benefits if staying and holidaying in Marseillan and he said to me that it was simply "Paradis sur Terre" (paradise on earth) - I thought what a perfect way to describe Marseillan, and have since incorporated the phrase in all my advertisements ever since.
Marseillan is an ancient Greek Phocean town, founded in the 6th century BC.
It has kept the authentic character of a fishing village on the shores of the Mediterranean and the Bassin de Thau, which is famous for its cultivation of oysters and mussels.

The town has many ancient Greek features and it is fascinating to walk through its tiny streets and discover the monuments, stones, gargoyles and individual doors of the houses which are steeped with the history of the Languedoc and the delight of the eye. Places to note are the historic town hall, St John the Baptists Church, La Maison de Famille d' Achille' and not to mention the dozens of other historical and cultural landmarks which can be found around Marseillan.
