Palavas-les-Flots: Sun and Entertainment all year long
7 kilometres of sandy beaches
14 traditional hotels
57 restaurants

In 1743, the construction of the Ballestras Redoubt led to the creation of this fishing village; the original site is today home to the Albert DUBOUT museum of humour. This famous cartoonist discovered Palavas-les-Flots in 1922 and quickly grew attached to its traditions, its fishermen, its beaches and its little steam train. Albert DUBOUT turned his incisive style into delightfully detailed humoristic cartoons which brought a tear of laughter to more than a few eyes. New exposition open from Tuesday to Sunday from 2 pm until 6pm.

Palavas-les-Flots has also shown that it looks to the future, notably through the amazing structure of the "Phare de la Méditerranée". This old water tower, located in the heart of the village, has been reconverted into a conference centre, tourism board, viewing platform and, at the top, a 65m high panoramic, rotating restaurant. This is a unique structure in the region and the ‘Phare’ or lighthouse makes sure that Palavas-les-Flots light shines over a very long distance indeed. Open each day from 10 am to 12 pm.

Palavas-Les-Flots, a family seaside resort, bordered by a long fine sandy beaches, invites you to join in the party.
