4 km from our holiday village, the town of Portiragnes, bounded by the Canal du Midi and surrounded by vineyards, has grown up around the basalt Saint-Félix church dating back to the 12th century. It has been classified a historical monument since 14 September 1998.

Portiragnes Beach is a family seaside resort, young and athletic, where pedestrians and cyclists always take precedence. It is approved by two major environmental societies: Pavillon Bleu – contributing to keeping the seas clean, since 1996, and Station Verte – for the preservation of nature, since 2007. Preserved from the concrete of urban areas, the town is determined to keep its natural advantages intact – the dunes, between sea and land, a little Camargue, home of ducks, grey herons and pink flamencos.
