With its tree-lined squares, fountains, and narrow streets, Capestang is a lively village with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere. The village is located just twenty kilometers from the sea. Who would suspect, passing through, that its fate was long linked to the harvesting of sea salt? Indeed, the pond that gave it its name, "Lou Cap de l'estang" (meaning "the head of the pond"), brought wealth to the town around the 14th century. Largely dried up today, it is reborn with the rains and floods, creating a protected wetland landscape classified as a Natura 2000 site, where various species of birds and flamingos come to nest. Thanks to its salt marshes, its fertile land, and its geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes, Capestang experienced its golden age in the Middle Ages. From this rich historical past remain unique monuments that make Capestang such a singular city, where life is good.

A landmark on the way to Minerve. You'll face a bit of a climb.

Nice fountain but I didn't dare to take water from it.

The road between Aigues-Vives and Villepassans is very pleasant, unfortunately the Cesse is a little overexploited, rarely flows and an entire slope has been deforested.

The pretty Pigasse bridge (name of the relay which served as a stopover for travelers who used the Canal at the time when navigation was not motorized (towpath))

The resurgence of the Boulidou. A magnificent place for swimming... when there is water. The resurgence of the Cesse offers fresh water after its passage underground, disappearing well before Minerve to resurface at Boulidou.

Picturesque town with a large arched bridge.

Beautiful place. For me one of the most beautiful villages in France.
