Camping Site de Gorge Vent

Start hols with explores of Fréjus, about five minutes’ drive from the site – pop into the archaeological museum, poke around the old Roman ruins or head towards the coast for sandy strolls, leisurely swims and some watery activities such as windsurfing, jetskiing, sailing and diving. That’s not the only way to stay active either: there are plenty of spots for rock climbing in and around Fréjus, and the Estérel Massif is about 25 minutes away if hiking and biking more fits the bill. The site’s also around half an hour from the edge of Préalpes d’Azur Regional Nature Park, so there are lots more trails within easy reach… This is a particularly swanky part of France, so scoot along the coast to Saint Tropez, Cannes, Nice or (and?) Monaco to spy some celebs and well-to-do types, and stick around these pretty coastal spots for markets, castles, casinos, cruises and wineries. For days among animals, wander to the zoo 10 minutes from base or swim over to Marineland in Antibes, where there are aquariums, a Wild West Farm, a water park and adventure golf.
