Discover La Palme, its Mediterranean beach, pond and vineyards

La Palme is a small Mediterranean village with many charms. It lies in the Aude region between Narbonne and Perpignan. Its fine sandy beach bathed by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean offers an idyllic setting for relaxing and rejuvenating during your vacation. The Etang de La Palme, an unspoilt natural site, is an ideal place to observe the local flora and fauna, including the resident pink flamingos.

As you stroll through the village’s narrow streets, you’ll discover its rich historical heritage. The first traces of this village date back to the year 800, but the many remains you can still see in the town, such as the ancient Via Domitia, bear witness to an even older history. You’ll come across many typical stone houses. But some religious buildings, such as the Saint-Pancrace chapel and the Saint-Jean church dating from the XIIIᵉ century, show the importance of La Palme in medieval times. Don’t miss a trip to the rocky promontory overlooking the village to admire the panoramic view of the Mediterranean and surrounding ponds.

The village also boasts a beautiful wild beach, Plage du Rouet, just over two kilometers long. This stretch of fine sand in the middle of nature, easily accessible and supervised during the summer season, attracts families and all water sports enthusiasts (kitesurfing, surfing, windsurfing, sand yachting, paddle, funboarding, etc.). If you enjoy board sports, the 700-hectare Etang de La Palme is the place for you. This Natura 2000 site is home to exceptional flora and fauna. It’s a well-known spot for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Then explore the La Palme salt marsh, a landscape of white gold that stretches as far as the eye can see. For a unique experience and to discover the history of salt, climb aboard the little electric train (50-minute tour) or a horse-drawn carriage. Finally, in summer, take part in many of La Palme’s festivities, such as the salt festival and the “summer of artists” in July, or the medieval festival in August. Whatever your passion, La Palme is sure to seduce you with its natural beauty and authentic Mediterranean lifestyle.
