First spa resort in France, Balaruc-les-Bains is located on a peninsula of the Thau Basin, only a few steps from the Mediterranean. A renowned spa and seaside resort very popular in the Occitania region, this municipality in the Hérault attracts a large number of visitors every year who are curious to taste its gentle lifestyle and beneficial waters under the legendary sun of southern France.
Between the garrigue and the great blue sea, only 7 kilometres from the Sète coast and 29 kilometres from Montpellier, Balaruc-les-Bains is the leading destination for thermal baths on the Mediterranean coast. Also, every year, many people, attracted by the healing properties of the thermal waters of the resort (renowned for their rheumatology and phlebology), come to enjoy its century-old benefits. Balaruc-les-Bains' reputation is not new: as the remains of the Gallo-Roman basilica in Bordes Square testify, the resort has been occupied since the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. Over the years, Balaruc-les-Bains has seen its reputation grow steadily and finally build, during the 17th and 18th centuries, the Pavillon Sévigné, the very first thermal establishment frequented by Joseph Montgolfier and Napoléon Bonaparte in particular. Its waters and its authentic setting attracted many celebrities during the 20th century, such as Brigitte Bardot, Salvator Dali and Georges Brassens. Today, and for a holiday under the sign of well-being, it will be possible for you to enjoy the care provided in many institutes and in the thermal baths of the resort (O'balia centre), in a magnificent setting with the pond of Thau and Mont Saint-Clair as a backdrop.
Inviting to peaceful walks, Balaruc-les-Bains is a family destination par excellence. The "Promenade Georges Brassens - Laurent Spinosi" along the Etang de Thau is an absolute must: 2 kilometres long, between the impasse des Calanques and the port, it offers magnificent views of the Thau basin and the neighbouring villages. The Ancient Mediterranean Garden is one of the highlights of your stay: in the middle of its flowered alleys and woods, you can observe many of the plant species typical of the Mediterranean and discover its medicinal properties. A green city adorned with numerous gardens and rich vegetation thanks to its lagoon, Balaruc-les-Bains is the ideal place for hiking, whether you are a beginner or an experienced walker. A real green pearl stretching over 18 kilometres, the Massif de la Gardiole is adored by hikers passing through the region. Crossed by numerous walking routes according to its botanical richness, this site allows, from its summit perched at an altitude of 234 metres, the observation of magnificent landscapes over the Balaruc hinterland, the surrounding vineyards and the ponds. Whether you are on foot, by bike or on horseback, with family or friends, this preserved green setting will certainly make you happy.
A water country, Balaruc-les-Bains is also a seaside resort with many assets. The municipality's three beaches, first of all, are a delight for families who come to relax in complete tranquility. Due to the shallow depth of the pond and the warmth of its waters, swimming is perfect for the youngest. Not far from the casino, you will find the "Plage des Hespérides": away from the city centre, it is the wildest of all but not the most pleasant, but it will guarantee holidaymakers seeking peace and quiet moments of beautiful tranquility. In its extension, you will find the "Plage des Rives", and finally the main beach of the station called "Plage du Poste de Secours". Worshipped by families for its setting and beautiful pedestrian walkway, it is the only beach in the resort to be monitored. Finally, the pond is the ideal place for water sports: you can row, scuba dive, pedal boat, windsurf, optimist, sea kayak, funboat, paddle, boat trips, catamaran or sail to discover the smallest secrets of the Thau basin, from its oyster parks to its most beautiful cities, such as Sète, Marseillan, Bouzigues and Mèze.
Thanks to its scrubland, its vineyards and its pond, Balaruc-les-Bains is rich in tasty and gourmet cuisine. Impossible to leave without having tasted the famous "Berlandises" of the "Cure Gourmande" confectionery, a local speciality adored by young and old alike! Finally, on the menu of most Balaruc restaurants, you will find many fish and seafood dishes, such as Bouzigues oyster in particular and mussels from the Thau lagoon.

Take the shuttle boat from Balaruc to Sète: the captain and his foam are very nice. Also to be recommended: bar restaurant "Les Voiles" (at the entrance of the pond).
