Camping Blue Bayou

On top of all the antics to be found on site, it’s likely you’ll want to make time to get out and about into the resort and beyond. The best place to start is down at the beach – a four-kilometre stretch of the sandy stuff is just a few minutes’ stroll from the site, with watersports kit available to rent and ice creams and fresh seafood to buy from the stalls. For a break from the sun (or the rain perhaps), take a look at the town’s toy museum with its fab displays of Lego art and tables full of the stuff for kids (and big kids) to play with. Also nearby for the nippers are the treetop trails of La Yole adventure park (10 minutes’ drive) and the rides and rollercoasters of Europark, Europe’s largest fixed fairground (20 minutes away). Away from the coast, it’s worth making day trips to the cities of Béziers (half an hour’s drive) and Carcassonne (an hour away).
