Frontignan has the good sense to sit in the middle of everything: sea in front, lagoon behind, Sète ten minutes away and Montpellier half an hour. You can spend a week here without ever driving more than forty minutes.
Sète, next door
Canals, the fish market, and Mont Saint-Clair with its view over the lagoons: Sète fits neatly into half a day, ideally late afternoon as the light drops.
The lagoons and their birds
Between sea and scrubland, the lagoons are home to flamingos and herons. The paths are flat, shaded in places, and perfectly manageable with young children.
And if the day is too hot to move, the residence pool settles the matter.
