Tourist info Languedoc St Pierre la Mer Narbonne Plage

St Pierre la Mer is a small, family holiday resort, with a central square full of bars and restaurants and dotted with palm trees, floral displays and hanging baskets.

A little yellow train chugs its way around the resort in high season, or you can hire a bike to cycle the length of the promenade, or simply stroll and take in the atmosphere.

Beach front markets, beautiful surrounding countryside, and easy access to major tourist attractions such as Narbonne and Carcassonne.

The immediate area offers a wealth of activities: tennis, fishing, jet skiing, cycling and horse riding. In high season there are beach trampolines, and nearby Narbonne Plage has a fun beach with plenty of games to amuse the children. If you enjoy walking you will be delighted with the Massif de la Clape, the limetone cliffs situated inland from the coast. Renowned for its rare flowers including orchids, the garrigue has plenty of picnic areas and marked paths, and offers splendid views of Narbonne Plage, and on clear days, the Pyrenees Mountain range.
The cathedral town of Narbonne is just 12 km away, and here you will find the Canal de la Robine at its centre, bordered by shops, restaurants and cafés. There is a lively outdoor market on Thursday and Sunday mornings, and an indoor market ‘Les Halles,’ said to be one of the finest food markets in France.
An excellent leisure centre, ‘Place de Liberté,’ is about a kilometre from the town centre, and offers an outdoor Olympic size pool, an indoor pool, skating rink, bowling and restaurant.

The medieval city of Carcassonne can be reached in just over an hour - an excellent day trip to see this fairytale castle with its fifty-two unique turrets, and streets packed with shops and restaurants. Jousting

events are held during the summer, and on Bastille Day, 14th July, a massive firework display lights up the city walls.

As well as Carcassonne, other Cathar castles are dotted about the region, and en route, you can pass through the wine regions of the Minervois and Corbières, visiting domaines and sampling the local wines.
