Exploring the Hidden Tocs: Discover the Natural Marine Dunes in Thau Lake

2023-08-13 03:05:00

One could believe oneself at the end of the world and yet the “tocs” are a few hundred meters from Marseillan, in the middle of the Thau lake. A natural marine dune that stretches over 11 km taking the appearance of small islets.

To access this little secret corner, you have to take a boat and the CPIE, in charge of the environment of the Thau basin, offers guided tours. The next one will take place on Friday August 18th. Far from the crowded beaches, the public will take themselves for Robinson Crusoe for a few hours.

The “tocs” are a fragile area. This year, the central part has been closed for 5 km, from April to August 15, to preserve the nesting periods.

To preserve this little corner of paradise, it is necessary to find the right balance between human nautical activities and the preservation of biodiversity. By boarding the boat of the Prudhomie association, made up of a 100% female crew, it will be possible to discover the “tocs” in the company of passionate fishermen who will present their profession and the species found in the nets. .

These visits, organized by the CPIE Bassin de Thau, can be booked with the Archipel de Thau tourist office (www.archipel-thau.com).

Boarding will take place at the port of Tabarka on August 18 at 9 a.m.
