We are looking to stay in one of the chalets on Gruissan Plage this summer and wondering about getting to and from Gruissan old town. Can anyone tell me if a car is necessary or if it is walkable? Plus, are there taxis??
Thanks in advance

As far as I know there is only one taxi company - husband and wife enterprise - they have one car each and need to be booked in advance. There might be a second one.
It is walkable of course, but quite a distance, 4 km or so, and the chalet area is quite large too, so it depends a bit at which end.

Map - https://www.citibus.fr/upload/Plans/Periurbain/ligne_8_rentree_2017-2018.png
it's route 8 of the Narbonne bus network. In winter the service is sparse, in summer more buses run.

In winter some buses run only if booked in advance.
