Bouzigues

Oyster production defines this little village on the Étang de Thau lagoon in southern France's Hérault, where an unusual concentration of seafood restaurants lines the waterfront. The surrounding area falls within Occitanie wine country, and two Natura 2000 protected zones — covering the lagoon's seagrass beds — border the commune. Accommodation is limited, making it better suited to a day trip or short stay than an extended base.
