Saint Pierre La Mer

The tasty culinary specialities of Saint-Pierre-la-Mer

Saint-Pierre-la-Mer attracts tourists thanks to its Mediterranean climate and beautiful sandy beaches. The seaside resort, which is part of the commune of Fleury, also attracts visitors with its rich and tasty cuisine. With its coastline, seafood is inevitably the main source of inspiration for local chefs. Knives in parsley sauce, scallops or cuttlefish a la plancha: you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to satisfying your taste buds on holiday. Another culinary speciality that arouses the curiosity of so many holidaymakers is escargots à la languedocienne. You won't be disappointed by the flavours of this recipe! Bread lovers should try fougasse aux fritons. Very popular in the Languedoc Roussillon region (Languedoc Roussillon) and in the Midi-Pyrénées region (Midi-Pyrénées), it can satisfy a small hunger at snack time or accompany one of your dishes at lunchtime. Did you particularly like some of the local products? You'll find them on the stalls of the Saint-Pierre market and at the Halles Lo vilatges. The latter has the advantage of being open all year round, offering a wide variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables and a wide selection of fresh fish.

Saint-Pierre-la-Mer: activities for adults and children

. The commune's near-permanent sunshine invites you to relax by the sea. The commune's northern beach is the largest stretch of sandy beach, so you're sure to find a place to plant your parasol and enjoy the idyllic setting. If you've got children in tow, you'll be well advised to take to the sand at Saint-Pierre-la-Mer's southern beach, where there's a club offering activities for them. Not far away is the Pissevache pond. This unspoilt spot combines the salt waters of the sea with the fresh waters of the Clape massif. The pond is home to many species of birds, including fascinating pink flamingos. The Domaine de l'Oustalet is the perfect family activity! It is home to the Pony Club, which offers the public the chance to hire these charming dwarf horses. You can also take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the vineyards and along the superb paths of La Clape. By the sea, there are plenty of ways for adults to enjoy themselves, including water sports such as the spectacular kite-surfing. Finally, we invite you to stroll around the night market during the summer period, you may succumb to a piece of designer clothing or jewellery and return from holiday with exceptional memories!
