  • Quiet family campsite 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Pézenas
  • Plage Richelieu a half-hour’s drive; Château de Flaugergues 45 minutes
  • Regional restaurant and takeaway service; swimming pool and games room
How about a family sojourn in the middle of Languedoc wine country? And on a campsite with an acclaimed restaurant serving up local specialities too? Camping Saint Christol comes up trumps in both cases, set in leafy surrounds 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Pézenas in the scenic Languedoc-Roussillon. Proprietor Jean-Marie Bel and his team welcome you to this family-friendly campsite, which has lots of peaceful nooks and crannies shaded by trees. During the day, life revolves around the outdoor pool and sundeck, although there’s a TV room and games room with ping-pong tables and arcade games for any teens wanting to hang out together away from mum and dad. There’s certainly no need to worry about catering for the family. A morning bread service provides fresh bread and pastries for breakfast and the restaurant has a varied menu of regional dishes – think vast planchas of seafood paella, beef bourguignon and apple tart – and you can get frites as a takeaway for the kids. In high season, a schedule of evening entertainment kicks off too. Should you want a change of scenery, hotfoot it to Pézenas to wander its pedestrianised old town packed with artisan shops, or hit some Languedoc vineyards for tours and tastings (several within 25 minutes’ drive).

Electric optional grass and earth pitch (two person)

Liked: Pitches were decent size and well screened. Good location next to town.

Disliked: On arrival we were not expected and took quite a while for the man to find our details. Toilet block facilities were very poor, no hot water and generally scruffy. Site seemed to be infested as we were bitten whenever on site. Didn’t use restaurant due to overall feel of lack of hygiene.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch (two person)

Liked: This campsite is sadly getting a little tired and worn but is compensated by exceptionally nice staff, excellent food in the restaurant and entertainment second to none by the owner/chef who made our night with his amazing act! Really funny. Good access to Pezanas which is a short walk into town.

Disliked: Lovely campsite but generally needs a bit of attention as is a bit tired . Makes up for it by quality of food and staff.

Liked: Very quiet campsite, there is a nice pool, generally relaxed atmosphere, quite large camping pitches separated by hedges. The price is very good and fair.

Disliked: In general, the area is quite neglected, with sanitary areas in very poor condition.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch (three person)

Liked: Très agréable ! Je pense que c’est un endroit familial vue la bonne ambiance. Le patron et le personnel sont extra !!! Le patron (je pense) nous a accueilli avec un slip un collier de coquillage et un bonnet péruvien nous avons adoré ça a bien fait rire ma p’tit famille et moi même.

Disliked: Si il faut que je dise quelque chose de négatif et encore je pense pas que ça soit la faute de l’établissement mais plutôt du propriétaire de l’animal c’est que sur notre emplacement il y avait quelques souvenirs de chien.

Local attractions

Kids may clamour to visit the seaside, so humour them and take them for a dip in the Mediterranean at sandy Plage Richelieu (half an hour’s drive), before heading to the lazy river at Pirate Cove (25 minutes) or the inflatable climbing courses at Aquapark Cap d’Agde (half an hour). Treat yourself to a Jacuzzi at futuristic Archipel la Cité de l'Eau Centre Aquatique et Spa (25 minutes), while the kids splash around in the (supervised) pools. Pézenas (10 minutes’ walk) rewards a day exploring its mellow-stone medieval streets lined with grand mansions like the ornately vaulted 15th-century Hôtel de Lacoste, open for art exhibitions. Admire the masterly paintings and antique furniture at the Musée de Vulliod Saint-Germain, or have a look at the model boats and trains in the Musée International du Jouet. For more regional culture, see the priceless Flemish tapestries and decorative arts displayed at landmark Château de Flaugergues (45 minutes’ drive), amble around the formal gardens and take a tour of the winery.
