Description of the walk

The route starts at the Tamarissière car park.

(S/E) Walk along the car park to pass between the Second World War bunkers. Remember to walk along the beach as far as the last bunker.

(1) Go past the bunker, head up to your right and follow the stream. Pass one Fork in the road to reach a second one.

(2) Take the path on the right and follow it to Rue Commandant Malet (be sure to turn left here so as not to end up on a path that leads back towards the stream).

(3) Carry on straight ahead, then turn right at the quay running parallel to the Hérault until you reach the Quai car park.

(4) Turn right back onto the path to return to the car park where you started your walk (S/E).

⚑Departure from Agde (Hérault)
Located on the right bank of the Hérault, La Tamarissière resembles a small, peaceful seaside village. It owes its name to the tamarisk trees planted at the end of the 18th century to combat the silting up of the Hérault estuary. Surrounded by beaches, a vast pine forest and the Verdisses nature reserve, discover unspoilt nature on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. From the basalt rocks of the jetty to the sandy dune paths and the damp ground amid lush vegetation, take a stroll through this setting of contrasts.

A circular route to explore the (channelled) Hérault estuary, the marshes and polders with their canals, the beach and the Tamarissière bunker site. Best avoided in hot weather as there is no shade along the route.

⚑Departure from Agde (Hérault)
It is along the banks of the Hérault, which rises in Mont Aigoual in the heart of the Cévennes, that the charm works its magic.. The murmur of the river, the contrasting colours of the river, the sky and the flamboyant Château Laurens, the Cathedral of Saint-Étienne built from lava stones from the ancient volcano of Mont Saint-Loup, the charm of the boats sailing on the river... nothing will leave you indifferent.You are here in Agde, "Agathé Tyché" or "Good Fortune". This ancient Greek city, founded in the 5th century BC and a thriving commercial port until the 18th century, will surprise you with its unusual houses built from black volcanic stone. To discover Le Grau d'Agde, a pretty fishing village, follow the Hérault river, which ends its course by joining the "beautiful blue sea" of the Mediterranean.
