Palavas-les-Flots (; Languedocien: Palavàs) is a commune in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France.
==Geography== Palavas is a fishing village and seaside resort 9 km south of Montpellier at the Gulf of Lion and the Mediterranean. It lies on sand dunes that separate two lakes, the ''Étang de l'Arnel and the Étang du Méjean'', from the sea. Its neighbouring communities are Lattes, Pérols, Mauguio and Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone. Its center is where the River Lez flows through a canalized section into the sea. Northwards it stretches to Mauguio; southwards expansion is halted by a military area and an area used by the Ifremer.
