Le François

An agricultural region with fertile soil that is further enhanced by the La Mauzo dam irrigation system. The coast at Le Francois is well-known for its band of breakers along the beach, many little islands and white sandy sea beds with high sand bars that extend far out to sea, which make it a very pleasant place for sailing excursions. Nearby, in the region of Acajou, is Clement distillery, where the old house has been converted into a very beautiful museum.
