Explore the fortress of Carcassone

Take a journey back in time to the Cité de Carcassonne (UNESCO), a double ring wall with towers and alleys where knights seem poised to appear at any moment. Stroll along the ramparts, visit the Basilique Saint-Nazaire, and pick a bistro with a view of the fortress. Afterwards, combine your visit with Béziers: walk along elegant squares and the Canal du Midi, which descends the valley in a series of steps via the nine locks of Fonsérannes—truly spectacular to see. Shop in the old town, taste local wines on a terrace, and take a detour to a panoramic viewpoint. For families, this is a day full of variety: history that comes alive, monuments that speak, and plenty of cafés for ice cream, crêpes, or a quick snack. Comfortable, varied, and close to the campsite.

A day of culture and fresh air at the beach

Start in Narbonne, where you wander through the covered market halls, see the Via Domitia, and admire the gothic cathedral. Stroll through lively streets to the Quai de la Robine for a drink by the water. Then, in just fifteen minutes, drive on to the beaches of Gruissan: wide sandy stretches, shallow water, and a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. At the lagoons you'll find oyster bars and wooden stilt houses with beautiful views. Prefer something active? Rent a SUP or try kitesurfing when the tramontane wind blows. End your day with an ice cream on the boulevard or a table by the sea. Culture in the morning, beach in the afternoon: holiday as it should be.

Take a wine tour through Minvervois and Corbières

Wine and nature go hand in hand here. Tour through Minervois and Corbières, taste spicy red wines and olive oil at small estates. Continue to the lagoons of Gruissan (Natura 2000) for birdwatching — flamingos in the right season — or take a walk along wooden boardwalks with views of salt flats. Finish with oysters and seafood in a cozy brasserie by the water. Pure flavors, wide vistas, and yet very relaxed.

Spot Flamingos at the Lagoon of Gruissan

In the lagoons around Gruissan, you can spot flamingos in the right season. At sunrise or sunset, the water and sky are tinged a soft pink and you’ll see small groups foraging in the shallow water. Follow the wooden walkways and viewing points, bring binoculars and look out for quiet zones. Combine your walk with a tasting of local oysters: nature and flavour in one outing. Best period: late spring to early autumn.

    Access to the riverside is difficult, the staff aren't super helpful and the bivouac units are strangely located at the top of stairs, making them hard to get to. The photos don't do justice to the atmosphere in the ready-to-camp tents. The fare is good and there are a few nibbles at the reception desk (which smelled far too much of cigarettes for my liking). The restaurant menu is ok, but being vegetarian, I couldn't enjoy it.

    L'accès au bord de la rivière est difficile, le staff est pas super aidant et les unités bivouacs sont drôlements situées en haut d'escaliers rendant difficile leur accès. Les photos ne rendent pas justice à l'ambiance dans les tentes prête à camper. Le tarif est bon et il y a quelques petites choses a grignoter à l'accueil (qui sentait beaucoup trop la cigarette à mon goût). Le menu du resto est ok, mais étant végétarien, je n'ai pas pu en profiter.

    I only stayed one night during my walk along the Canal du Midi. I really appreciated the super swimming pool, the excellent meal in the restaurant, the excellent bedding, as well as the warm welcome from all the staff. I highly recommend this very relaxing and welcoming establishment.

    Je n'ai passé qu'une nuit à l'occasion de mon parcours à pied le long du canal du midi. Très appréciable la super piscine, le repas au restaurant excellent, la literie excellente, ainsi que l'accueil de tous le personnel, je recommande vivement cet établissement très reposant et accueillant

    Pool, playground, nice river nearby but awful and loud karaoke late into the night from nearby bar made sleeping in a tent near impossible. Not recommended for those in tents
