Definitely worth a short hike and visit - several parking spots are possible depending on how long you want to walk. On the way you pass some photogenic vineyards and ruins - the road is well marked but rather narrow at times but not dangerous - just watch when you go around bends in the road. The parking closest to the chapel and cemetery handles perhaps 30 cars. It is true that there is some repair work underway on the path up, also on the walls, but it should not hinder most people - but on a hot day, if you are rushing up to get into the chapel before its midday closing time of 1220, the hike, which climbs about 100 meters in altitude, should not to be taken lightly. And beach shoes are definitely not appropriate unless your ankles are in superb shape and you don’t mind walking on irregularly-shaped rocks. But this is all logistics - and once you pass by the moving monuments to sailors lost at sea, and the paintings and models of ships that went down in the sea, you should be pleased that you made the effort to get there. But do check the opening and closing times and dates - while there is a great panoramic view at the chapel level, it is more enjoyable to see it during a visit to the chapel.

You will find table salts, amongst which are the famous Fleur de Sel from Gruissan, our natural and aroma-infused salts, and our Elixsels, or liquid salts. You will discover our bath and body salts. The Saltern's boutique also sells olive oil, honey, jams and delicious local specialties. It also includes an extensive wine cellar, which showcases a wide range of local wines.

A fascinating process, turning sea water into salt! Immediately bought a wedding present. The restaurant nearby is absolutely yum. Get the assorted seafood platter.

We had a hard time finding the path to actually get up to the tower. I think we did a complete circle of the town/tower trying to find a way up. When we finally did it was definitely worth the short climb. The views were magnificent. You could see the lagoon, the towns and the mountains in the distance.

A delightful, colourful little 13 th century church, colourful and reminiscent in many ways of (although smaller than) the church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, it was originally fortified. The layout is unusual and shows its maritime affiliation from centuries back. It is well worth doing a Wikipedia search before you visit the church and also the castle above it in this very old part of Gruissan.
