Gruissan
is an old fisherman's village with it's Barberousse
tower. The spell of Gruissan comes from the magnific
landscape which surrounds this little town. Here you can
choose between large sanded beaches, wooded massifs and
lakes. It's the only combination on the Languedoc coast. In
addition you can discover the exceptional wealth of the faun
and the flora !
Today Gruissan is also a
particulary attractive seaside resort with its pubs,
nightclubs and its casino and proposes many interesting
sporting and cultural activities : bathe, bronzing, beach
volley, fun board, shows, guided visits, escape by night,
pedestrian excursions.

We
will drive from Gruissan to
Bordereaux and will spend Saturday to Wednesday there and
then we will drop the car off and will take the train to
Paris. We will fly home the next day. Below is text from
