Green Way around the Thau Lagoon

The Green Way of the Tour of the Etang de Thau is an iconic route that offers a unique experience to all cycling enthusiasts. 

This magnificent cycle path, reserved exclusively for bicycles, will allow you to discover the wonders of the Thau Lagoon, between land and sea. Throughout the route, the lagoon is ever-present, offering breathtaking scenery. You can admire the oyster beds that stretch as far as the eye can see between Mèze and Balaruc-les-Bains, overlooking the lagoon. The Pointe des Onglous also offers a stunning view of Mont Saint-Clair. 

You can even cross the pond on land thanks to a footbridge located after Bouzigues. 

This cycling loop, exclusively on cycle paths and greenways, is a true discovery of the Thau Lagoon. The colors of the sky, sea, and lagoon blend together with the changing light and time of day, creating enchanting landscapes. From Sète to Balaruc-les-Bains, you can even hop on the shuttle boat for a short trip across the vast Occitanie lagoon, a truly unique experience. 

The Thau Lagoon Green Way offers a diverse range of landscapes. You'll cycle from the bustling city of Sète to the tranquility of Bouzigues, following the coastal path that winds through the dunes or the Sète seafront promenade, which offers breathtaking views of the coves. This variety makes it a must for all cycling enthusiasts. The oyster beds of the lagoon, the magnificent restored coastal path between Sète and Marseillan-Plage, the port character of Sète, the charming ports of Mèze, Bouzigues, and Marseillan, as well as the numerous opportunities to stop for a swim, an outdoor coffee, or a platter of oysters, make this loop a true delight for all the senses.
