LAND OF LANGUEDOC

Mission preservation

An episode from the series FRENCH HERITAGE JOURNEYS (90MNS)

Synopsis

Seen from the air, the Languedoc coastline appears as a string of lagoons, separated from the sea by a long strip of sand.

Today, it is a paradise for pink flamingos, but salt works extended here and supplied southern France for a long time. The white gold was then transported by a canal that links the Sète city to the Rhône River that still crosses the lagoons.
