The 3 best paillotes of the Study

Here’s our selection of the best paillotes of Aude, to relax your feet in the Mediterranean Sea!

L’Aude is a department in the south of France located in the heart of Languedoc. This territory can boast a rich cultural, historical and natural heritage.

Besides the famous fortified city of Carcassonne, the castles of the Cathar country or the Black Mountain, you can also swim there! The local coastline is one of the most sunny in all of France.

Choose from the fine sandy beaches of the six audoise resorts to refresh yourself during the summer season. You can also enjoy a cocktail in one of the best paillotes in Aude. We present you the most side of them: to yours!

1. Blue Surf Café

Welcome to La Franqui in one of the must-see restaurants of this seaside resort on the town of Leucate. It includes one of the largest beaches in the country on which you can find Le Bleu Surf Café. Its huge terrace open to the Mediterranean, the lagoon of the pond and the cliff of Leucate make it a popular spot for holidaymakers. They can enjoy coffee-concerts in this paillote of the Aude open all summer.

It is also possible to purchase equipment and jerseys at the adjoining beach wear/surf wear shop. The kite surf rental, stand up paddle or windsurfing is also available on site.

Coté cuisine, we feast with fresh products typical of the south of France and perfectly worked. We especially recommend home waffles, gamba ceviche and Thai-inspired coconut milk fish.

All accompanied by local wines or preceded by a seasonal fruit cocktail! On Sunday, you can enjoy an exquisite and complete brunch that will delight small and large gourmets. Miam!

2. The Cabins

Located in Gruissan, near Narbonne, the sublime beach of Chalets welcomes, at the end of the driveway #5, the private beach of Cabines. It is clearly one of the best paillotes in Aude and it welcomes you in an authentic setting May to September . From breakfast to evening cocktails, the hotel offers a varied menu with South flavours. You only have to lie down on one of the comfortable decks at your disposal and get served!

The sportiest can enjoy the pedals, kayaks and paddles available to them. Parents will enjoy the playground dedicated to young children. A cocktail, a pancake, a fresh salad? You have the embarrassment of choice, comfortably installed in one of the “cocons” in the shape of a bird’s nest.

We recommend mojito pomegranate, tapas assortments and tasty grills proposed by the chef. The evenings are worthy of Ibiza’s fiestas: live concerts and Dj’s sets of local artists are organized throughout the summer.

Ah, one last thing: for the anecdote, know that scenes of the famous film 37°2 in the morning with Béatrice Dalle were shot on site.

3. Mamamouchi

Mamamouchi? The term was invented by Molière for his book The Bourgeois gentilhomme . This falsely honorary title is ironically a high-ranking person. But in this paillote de l’Aude, you will be treated as a dignitary by a team listening to your desires.

Close to the Mateille pond and the Gruissan nautical base, this restaurant in the heart of nature offers a panoramic view of the Clape forest and the Grande Bleue.

A beautiful terrace with neat decoration welcomes visitors wishing to enjoy a zen atmosphere. The bartender offers delicious cocktails with fresh fruit. The chef, he, cooks with brio seafood and fish caught up in the day.

Our advice? Once set (or lying on one of the available decks), choose from the mezzes to open your appetite. The tuna tataki and the fish ceviche are to fall, just like desserts, fresh and exquisite. Fruit grass, hazelnut crumbles and yoghurt ice will finish the meal of the most beautiful way. Enjoy!
