Balaruc-le-Vieux is a village on the Etang de Thau in Languedoc Roussillon.
The small town has retained its circular form, a traditional defensive design in the Languedoc region, and the ramparts surround an attractive town of narrow streets waiting to be explored.
One particular highlight within the town walls is the 14th century church of Saint-Maurice, which is especially known for its stained glass windows, and for the bell standing exposed on the top of the church.
It is only a small town and with limited facilities but well worth stopping off at for a quick exploration
Perhaps the best time to visit Balaruc is during the 'medieval recreation' period in July, when the town steps back 500 years, and the streets are filled with medieval entertainments.
Nearby on the coast, Balaruc-les-Bains is a popular thermal spa resort, and has been since the 17th century.
