Port de plaisance de Saint Gilles
Saint-Gilles was originally a Greek port city called Heraclea or Rhodanousia, founded five centuries before Jesus Christ. Later, at the time of the counts of Toulouse and the heyday of the famous Benedictine abbey, trade developed there, before experiencing a new boom in the 18th century, with the digging of a large navigation canal. connecting the port of Sète to the Rhône. From that time, we saw many barges, transporting all kinds of goods and loading barrels of Saint-Gilles wine. It was in 1985 that the commercial port was transformed into a marina, with the redevelopment of the quay and the provision to users of drinking water stations, electrical outlets, fuel dispensers and an inclined plane allowing the launching of boats arriving by road. It now has 89 places. Opening hours of the harbor master's office from October to April.
