  • Family site in the countryside, 3.5 kilometres from Sommières
  • Within 35 minutes of the beaches of Grau du Roi and Grande Motte
  • Kid-focused with waterpark, paddling pool, playground and summer clubs
You'll want to spend sandy times on the beach, of course. And perhaps have a potter around the excellent old cities of Nîmes and Montpellier. And how about a waterpark within a minute or two of your berth, with slides to whizz down on a hot summer's day? Make your Hérault domain at family-friendly Domaine de Gajan for all the above, on a lushly green site a few kilometres from the medieval village of Sommières. De Gajan is just over half an hour's drive from the beaches of Grande Motte, Palavas les Flots and Grau du Roi, and an easy 40 minutes from both Nîmes and Montpellier. It's close to canoeing and hiking in and around the gorges of the Hérault and 10 minutes from the heady adventures of La Roque via ferrata if you're feeling headily active; if your small sorts are too small for anything of the sort, the games, rides and huge maze of Teraventure leisure park are 15 minutes away. Small and slightly less small sorts will be particularly chuffed with what's on offer on site too: there's a summer kids' club for ages six to 12, the likes of archery and sports tournaments for teens (and grownups), and a paddling pool adjoined to the fab outdoor pool for teeny splashers. Entertainment for all ages runs in evenings in high season: think cabaret and music nights, mussel evenings, fancy dress, karaoke, and – for the brave – hypnosis nights. Domaine de Gajan has a restaurant open from May to September dishing up meals, snacks and takeaways as well as running a bakery service. The closest town is Boisseron just over a kilometre away; a market is at Sommières every Saturday.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: The generous and segregated pitches, the excellent toilet and shower facilities, the nice bar and the lovely pool (with slides)

Disliked: Mixup over Pitchup booking at front desk. There is nothing quite so unsettling as being told there is no reservation for your fully paid stay (they had recorded our stay in the wrong month).

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: The pool and the pitches were of a good size, the entrance on entry was good for the size of our motorhome Reception was quick and easy however we had a slight problem which we quickly solved and apologised but one of the reception ladies was very rude and continued to carry on and on and on waving her arms in the air in front of all to see even though we were trying to apologise again again and again very nasty lady to have on a reception when seeing holiday makers in that spend hard earned money to be there We are a respectful family and didn’t deserve her attitude at all

Disliked: Second Lady on reception

Local attractions

Ready? There's a stonking amount of stuff to see and do around here, from family theme park and beach days to adult activities dangling off cliffs or drifting along by canoe. Depending on activity levels/leg length in the family, cycle some or all of the fab Sommières Voie Verte or greenway, running for 30 kilometres all the way to Nîmes. It's nicely flat and pretty easy even for smaller cyclists, and is almost all on a car-free route; start at Sommières and the Roman bridge over Vidourle river to see how far you get. As well as the beaches, cities and – just possibly – the vineyard visits nearby, carve out time too for a day at Aigues-Mortes (35 minutes), a medieval city with well-preserved city walls as well as expansive and ancient saltworks (look out for Camargue horses trotting almost wild at this last). It's a tiptop stopoff if you're off to the beach for the day too, as the salt marshes run along to neighbouring Le Grau-du-Roi.
