Meze is a popular tourist resort situated slightly inland just behind Sete on the Bassin de Thau lake with its sandy shores. The Bassin (or Etang) de Thau Basin is a twenty metre expanse of lagoon full of brackish water separated from the sea by a narrow stretch of sand. Famous for ostreiculture (oyster farming.) As well as offering excellent conditions for the culture of oysters and other shellfish it is well used by locals and tourists for fishing and a large variety of water sports.

A charming harbour town full of restaurants, it comes as no surprise that the main streets in Meze are lined with stalls selling the very freshest shellfish. With beautiful surrounding countryside and a mountain backdrop, the Mediterranean beaches are just a few kilometres away.

This extraordinary town is also famous for its remains of nests with fossilised dinosaur eggs which were discovered only a few years ago on the road to Montagnac. There is now a museum situated in a large natural park which extends over 36 kilometres. You can walk through a 12 acre pine forest and travel back millions of years viewing all sorts of exhibits including a skeleton of a giant brachiosaurus which was unearthed here.
