Camping Le Soleil d'Oc

If you fancy a change of swimming scenery, leave the lagoon behind and take the 10-minute walk to the beach or to the slides of Aquajet waterpark. There are various watersports along the beach too, or you could elect to stay dry by climbing up into the trees at Acromix adventure park (10 minutes’ drive). Switch up the days out with some time in the countryside, perhaps visiting the wineries of the La Clape region (20 minutes) and touring Terra Vinea (half an hour), an underground cellar with tours and tastings. You can also get underground for boat tours and ziplining at Gouffre Géant de Cabrespine (an hour), or stick to the surface to see the animals at Réserve Africaine de Sigean (half an hour). For a spot of history, visit the Roman Granary Museum and Narbo Via museum in Narbonne (20 minutes), tour the walled city of Carcassonne (50 minutes) or check out the cultural programme at Abbaye de Fontfroide (35 minutes).
