vines spreading as far as the eye can see, and red, the colour of festivals, of
passion, and of Mediterranean sensations.
Frontignan is all this and so much more: a warm welcome, enthusiastic tourist
operators, friendly inhabitants, quality of life, Frontignan promises you beautiful
holidays - and nothing less!
The entire team at the Tourist Office joins us in wishing you welcome and an

Protected Areas
Frontignan sits between two major
nature reserves: the Gardiole hills, to
the north, and the lakes.
The Palavasian lakes, lying between
Sète and Montpellier, are a designated
wetland, internationally recognized
in October 2008, following France’s
signature of the Ramsar convention
in 1986.
International recognition acknowledges
the investment made by local authorities in the preservation of these sensitive nature areas with their exceptional fauna and flora. In France, 25 sites
have obtained this label together with
more than 1,400 world sites.
Lakes, lagoons, saltwater marshes,
rivers, peat lands... And then there
is World Wetlands Day, celebrated
on 2 February, the anniversary of the
Wetlands Convention, known as the
Ramsar Convention, after the Iranian
city where it was signed on 2 February
1971.

My Mediterranean
From its position on the seashore, Frontignan has
playground!
You’ve here for fun, aren’t
you? Well, make the most
of the water activities
you have always dreamed
of, enjoy the thrill of a sea
excursion on a catamaran or
a windsurfer, try a jet-ski or
wake-board, why not go kayaking or underwater diving on
the Plateau des Aresquiers, a
unique world site... Nowhere
else does the Mediterranean
offer so much fun, protected
by the majestic curves of the
Gulf of Lion, nowhere else
will you find such pleasure in
the Great Sea and the marvellous thrill when in the early
morning you visit the market
stalls offering fish fresh from
the night’s trawl. And there
is the marina, with its
600 places - of which 60
are kept for visiting yachts.
The Mediterranean offers
unlimited pleasures. And
this is why Frontignan works
so hard for its preservation.

My gastronomic ho
Good food comes from beautiful places. This is also
glinting in the golden sun and offering its unique
Our territory is blessed with
maximum sunshine and
a cooling wind, two secret
ingredients of Muscat
de Frontignan. But it needs
the passion of winemakers
to release its true nectar.
Winemakers repeating the
same gestures, generation
after generation, to nurture
a wine that has delighted
palettes throughout
the centuries. Their efforts
were rewarded in 1936,
when Muscat de Frontignan
was awarded the coveted
Appellation d’Origine
Contrôlée (AOC), one
of the first wines in France
to receive this label.
With its characteristic
twisted bottle, the Muscat
de Frontignan is famous for
its golden glints, explosive
taste, and unique aromas.
And then there is the local
gastronomy: try a squid
rouille, a macaronade,
stuffed mussels, a bourride
of monkfish, a tielle, an olive
tapenade, biscuits flavoured
with aniseed from the
garrigues, Muscat
bonbons, and rosemary
jelly... a magnificent palette
of tastes awaits you!

CHâTEAU DE LA PEYRADE
Muscats
OUR NATURAL SWEET WINE
The traditional Muscat is a sweet wine
that tastes of figs and candied citrus
fruits. It is an excellent wine for an
aperitif or as an accompaniment for
foie gras, marbled cheese, melon or
strawberries.
Serve at 7° or 8°.
DRY MUSCAT
A dry white wine made from grapes
on 3 year-old vines and picked early
in the season. It has a lovely aroma
and is less sweet while keeping the
Muscat taste. It can be served with
all types of seafood: fish, shellfish,
or tielles, but also with asparagus
and white meats.
Serve very cold as an aperitif
at 9° to 10°.
LIQUEUR WINE
Very rich and smooth, with a long finish,
it tastes of candied orange and honey.
Ideal for chocolate desserts, fruit
salads, etc.
Serve at 8°.
EAU DE VIE DE MARC
Through distilling, all the bitterness
usually found in marc is removed and
the wine becomes smooth and sweet
with a fine strong taste.
WINE TASTING
Free entry at all vineyards.

Frontignan’s town centre
17
My historic holiday
There are places that inspire emotional reactions,
a town founded back in Roman times.
Wandering around the narrow
streets of Frontignan’s old
town, you can easily imagine
its history. From the
Gallo-Roman era to the Kings
of Aragon, Frontignan is proud
its glorious past with
its ramparts and fortifications,
ancient façades and stone
buildings... The Frontignan
Museum, located in the 17th
century Chapelle des Pénitents
Blancs, gives you an opportunity to learn about the town’s
history from prehistoric times
to the present.
St Paul’s Church is the town’s
other jewel. Classified as
a Historic Monument, it was
built as part of the town’s
ramparts out of limestone
extracted from the nearby
Gardiole during the 12th
to 14th centuries.
Inside you can see a painted
beam showing scenes
of chivalrous tournaments
and the jeu de mail.
All this gives Frontignan
its unique character, its
profound Mediterraneanness,
which can be enjoyed just
by strolling in its alleys
and marketplace or sitting on
the sunny terraces of bistros.

Cultural Activities
THE MUNICIPAL MUSEUM
Since 1974, the Chapelle des Pénitents
Blancs (1642) is home to the Museum
now recognized as a “Musée de
France”. The Museum has a very varied
collection covering all Frontignan’s
history.
Most of the objects and works of art
have been donated by the local population or deposited by institutions such as
the State or the Catholic Church.
The collection contains works of art,
prehistoric relics from the La Coste
cemetery, objects found in underwater
archaeology, and a series of objects
and furniture linked to our local identity: the famous Muscat de Frontignan
and Languedoc jousts, collections of
fauna from the Languedoc coastal area.
It regularly organizes temporary exhibitions for artists or on the town’s history.

My holiday in the T
The Thau country is scattered with towns and villa
Shellfish farming and vines
are an integral part of the
Thau countryside. Around
the Thau basin, at a stone’s
throw from Frontignan,
there are the towns of
Balaruc-le-Vieux, Balarucles-Bains, Gigean, Marseillan,
Mireval, Vic-la-Gardiole and of
course Sète, which is a must.
Balaruc-le-Vieux is an old
medieval town, with its
‘circulade’ road system.
Balaruc-les-Bains, the second
largest spa town in France
and the only one located
on the southern coast. Gigean
is a dynamic town, 85% of its
territory is covered by natural
landscape. Set between the
Lake of Thau and the Mediterranean, Marseillan has
a privileged position. Mireval
is a true Southern village with
its own Muscat de Mireval.
Sète is exceptional: called
the “singular island”, and
recognized as an important
cultural centre.
Vic-la-Gardiole is a typical
Languedoc village with
forest-covered hills, vines,
lagoon and shoreline all
contributing to its special
attractions.

Welcome to the Hérault
For discovering the Hérault coast and also its high country full
of amazing contrasts, Frontignan is your “base camp”. Far from agitated
city life, Frontignan is only 30 minutes from Montpellier, the capital
of Languedoc-Roussillon, 1 hour from the Pont du Gard and Carcassonne.
Once in Frontignan, you can travel in all directions to the Hérault
high spots with all their diversity and wealth of experiences.
The Hérault is there for you, totally: there are beaches, of course,
but also incredible nature areas that give this region all its charm.
East of Frontignan, the Camargue is a magnificent wildlife sanctuary.
Dozens of bird species live only in this ecosystem here which
is unique in Europe. Lakes line the coast - Golden Lake, Lake of Thau, etc. are all equally fascinating.
