Activities near the campsite
Sun, Mediterranean and Pyrenees: Take the open sea, heading to Roussillon!
Between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, the coast of Roussillon offers long sandy beaches, secret coves, small marinas, Catalan gastronomy and famous vineyards. From your campsite, you can visit Banyuls or Collioure, or cross the Spanish border to explore the pretty Costa Brava.
On the nature side, you can discover the Albera Massif, where the mountain meets the sea. You will discover rare animal and plant species present in the many nature reserves of the coast such as "Les Aigles de Valmy", which offers a show of raptors in grandiose free flight.
With its 7 kilometers of fine sand beach, and its Pavillon Bleu label received in 2012, Argelès-sur-Mer is one of the most famous seaside resorts in the south of France. Thrill-seekers can try windsurfing, stand-up paddling or sea kayaking. The Blue Flag label is awarded to municipalities, marinas or beaches that make significant efforts in terms of the environment, particularly with regard to awareness policy, prevention of territory and waste and water management.
To soak up the local spirit, you have to leave the beach and walk down the alleys of the old village. Between the stone houses and the church of the fourteenth century, we discover a warm lifestyle, punctuated by traditional markets rich in local products (apricots from Roussillon, goat cheese, olive oil).
In the evening, the excitement moves to the avenue of Pins, with its shops, casino and many restaurants where you can enjoy Catalan specialties, before enjoying the concerts and night entertainment that make the resort vibrate all summer.
