The excellent Villa Loupian Site Gallo-Romain museum of a Roman settlement in Languedoc provides an excellent day out for you and the children.
West of Sete lies the Etang de Thau, the biggest saltwater lake in Languedoc. On the eastern side of the Etang de Thau lies a narrow strip of headland with golden sand separating the Etang de Thau from the Mediterranean.
Within the charming framework of the village of Bouzigues (see Bouzigues), the Musee de L'Etang de Thau provides an interesting exposition of the ancient skill of shell-fish raising as well as traditional fishing techniques.
