Discover - Pinet
Between the garrigue and the Thau basin, surrounded by vineyards, is a typical Languedoc wine-producing village. "Picpoul de Pinet", a fruity dry white AOC wine, has made the village world-famous. Here the grape is not just a crop, it is a culture ingrained in human memory. Along six kilometres of the Via Domitia, the listed Roman road which linked Rome to its Iberian provinces, Pinet has other attractions including the Vallongue wood, where you can see a cross section of the Via Domitia, showing how it was built, and a view over the Etang de Thau.
