- Swimming pool, restaurant, bread delivery, football field and pétanque
What more could you want on a trip to the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France than the sun and the sea? Surely not much – but family-friendly site Camping Sol y Mar has several other holiday must-haves to get stuck into anyway, including a couple of swimming pools (one of which is a shallower option for les enfants to paddle in).
There’s also a big playground, a pétanque court, a ping-pong table and an outdoor area with a football field, plus the serene and sandy Marende beach is a mere 20-minute walk away for seaside strolls. Argelès-sur-Mer’s leisure area, with go-karting, a bowling alley and an amusement park, is about five minutes’ drive away.
Grab a table at the restaurants in town for a leisurely local lunch or mosey over to the site’s restaurant for eats on the shaded terrace. Tasty French bread, croissants and pains au chocolat are available to order for breakfast (in advance), and a local producer of wine, vegetables and fruits is close to the site for squirrelling away snacks and drinks.
Entertainment is organised three times a week on site; for other nighttime activities check out Argelès-sur-Mer’s abundant bars.

Local attractions
Argelès-sur-Mer (five minutes’ drive) is a seaside resort with beaches lapped by the Mediterranean Sea. When you’re not surrendering yourself to the sun at Marende beach, a 20-minute walk from the park, wander along the waterfront promenade lining the town before making a beeline for the Catalan-style centre and peering at the panoramas from the 14th-century Notre-Dame del Prat Church’s bell tower.
Rather be away from urban areas? Toddle along the trails of Valmy Park (10 minutes' drive), perhaps towards the 19th-century castle and the birds in the Aigles de Valmy aviary. To witness winged creatures in their natural habitat, swoop over to the Mas Larrieu Natural Reserve and spot herons and bee-eaters instead (10 minutes).
If the beach is where you want to be, there are several more sandy stretches to saunter along other than the main bit by the town. Try Plage du Racou (10 minutes) and Ouille (15 minutes) a little further away for slightly quieter chunks of coastline.
More of a dry-land adventurer than a Vitamin Sea seeker? Take on the trails in the Canyoning Park or, if you’re more into mechanically induced thrills, rush down the rides at local amusement centre Luna Park (five minutes).
