Discover Le Grau-du-Roi
Le Grau-du-Roi was originally a fishing village. Without ever losing its soul, it became a lively seaside resort with 18 km of fine sandy beaches. The village was built on either side of a “grau” (channel where sea and inland water meet).
The centre of the town is the canal with its swing bridge, pontoons and the old lighthouse crowned by a bell tower. Fishing boats are moored alongside the restaurant-lined quays.
In Le Grau-du-Roi, you'll enjoy:
- An immersion in sea and ocean wildlife at the Seaquarium.
- Admiring the beautiful wilderness of l'Espiguette beach.
- Shopping for local products and wine at the Maison Méditerranéenne des vins et produits régionaux
- Visiting in early March to see a beach abrivado and discover the “bouvine” bullfighting tradition.
- Dining with your feet in the sand while admiring a sublime sunset at l'Oyat beach.
