Fos

Fos-sur-Mer, a town on France's Mediterranean coast, offers an authentic village experience with a laid-back atmosphere. Explore the 18th-century Chateau de L’Hauture featuring an ornithological collection and panoramic views. Soak in the beauty of pink flamingos at the nearby lake. 

Beach lovers will find paradise here. Fos-sur-Mer boasts three beaches: the wild Napoléon Beach, the charming Olga Beach with miniature port, and Carteau Beach, a favorite for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Beyond the beaches, discover medieval churches, squares, fountains, and monasteries in the surrounding area.

Indulge in the region's vibrant cuisine with fresh seafood, fish, olive oil, socca (a savory pancake), and fougasse (a Provençal bread). Visit bustling markets or farms to meet local producers and experience the true essence of southeastern France. As evening falls, enjoy waterfront dining, seafront restaurants, or perhaps a glass of local wine. Immerse yourself in the Port Côté Docks Evenings, a celebration of the sea and St. Louis with sports shows, craft markets, and fireworks.
