Gruissan (French pronunciation: [ɡʁɥisɑ̃] ^ⓘ; Occitan: Grussan) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France. The historian Émile Raunié (1854–1911) was born in Gruissan.

Situated on the Mediterranean coast of Southern France, Gruissan is situated in the Parc naturel régional de la Narbonnaise en Méditerranée. Traditionally a fishing village, the circular town is built around the former castle; a 10th-century château of which only the Tour Barberousse (Redbeard Tower) remains.^[4]
