Nice place to visit on the way to the beach. Lots of history and vineyards...

The outside is not nice. Inside you can perceive the atmosphere of the history of this cathedral built in the 12th century. To reach it you have two possibilities. From Palavas-les-Flotes the nearest parking has a fixed rate of € 6 per day, a good price for spending all the day at the beach but not just to visit the cathedral and then you have to catch the small tourist train. Same thing and price from Maguelone but it also has a small free car park 600 meters away which is probably full or a larger one 2 km away. in this case you also have to cross a footbridge which closes around 5.30pm. In front of the cathedral there is a restaurant.

Nice and beautiful place to walk and visit! Just be aware that after 17:30 there is no possibility to come back to car parking because the bridge turns into different coast!

Ancient cathedral steeped in history on the tiny volcanic island of Maguelone, surrounded by beautiful flamingo-dotted lagoons, vineyards and the sea. There are two main entrances, one is by car from Palavas way, the other is via Villeneuve de Maguelone, where you can park in the Parking de Pilou and walk across the footbridge, there are also extensive cycle paths. In the summer season a free little train shuttles people back and forth between the bridge, the cathedral and the beach. Otherwise it's about a 10 minute walk up to the cathedral from the bridge. The cathedral is sat in beautiful gardens with a small picnic area, there are peacocks and you can wander around and admire the views across the lagoons. The restaurant is also a lovely place to have lunch and the gift shop is worth a look for local delicacies and the island's own wine. Well worth a visit.

Almost impossible to get there and leave. You feel very stranded. No information on anything. Very disappointing.
