Gruissan is a resort with many faces - it consists of the old village, little changed from the 13th century; Gruissan Plage, a unique collection of wooden beach houses built on stilts in the latter half of the 19th century; Gruissan Port, created in the 1960's as part of the "improvement" of the Langeudoc-Roussillon coast decided by the French government. |

For some visitors Gruissan is simply a place to enjoy the long, sandy beaches of the Languedoc coast. The frequent strong northwesterly Tramontane wind make it popular with windsurfers. |

Just inland the saltwater lagoons are rich in birdlife including flamingoes. Only a few miles inland you can stroll or ride in a typical Mediterranean landscape of low-growing oak scrub, wild thyme, and rosemary, with parasol pines and tall cypress trees. |
