Camping du Caroux

Because of its particularly pretty setting, Mons la Trivalle is something of a hub for outdoor escapades: activity centres a few minutes’ walk from the site can sort days of canyoning, climbing, caving, guided hikes or scuba dives in the river. If you’d prefer to go at your own pace, stroll over to the banks of the Orb river (20 minutes’ walk) instead to hire canoes or kayaks, or set out for a walk or bike ride on the disused railway line that runs from the village. The Gorges d’Heric are 10 minutes’ walk away if you’d like to take a wander up there. An outing to the coast is a fine idea too – it’s a drive of around an hour to the sandy stretches at Agde and Valras-Plage; perhaps take a detour en route to fuss over the furry beasts at Mini Zoo Farm (35 minutes), soak up the atmosphere at Fontcaude Abbey (40 minutes) or take a wander around medieval Béziers (50 minutes). There are several wineries along the drive too, should you fancy picking up a bottle to accompany your evening on site.
