A visit at your own pace and on your terms to explore this really peaceful location!

And how about living a unique experience? Before, after or even during your stay at our campsite in Vias, you can explore the Canal du Midi by hiring a boat or a barge without needing a licence, for a week or a weekend!

 

Choosing this option then gives you the opportunity to visit some nearby towns of interest such as Castelnaudary (the Cassoulet temple!), Villefranche-de-Lauragais or Narbonne.

 

Of course, a boat is not the only solution since many paths have been created to allow you to discover the canal by bike. Once there, all you have to do is follow them and enjoy using the flat, well-maintained paths and take the time to enjoy the view!

Montpellier is located in the Hérault, and is a city full of charm and diversity. It is a city with a rich cultural heritage, and is much appreciated for its changing landscapes and its grandiose buildings such as its Arc de Triomphe or the Saint-Pierre cathedral.

 

In addition to these impressive buildings, this iconic city in the south of France also has many green spaces and in particular a Natura 2000 site “The Lez nature reserve” with an area of more than 20 hectares.

 

Montpellier has a very pleasant climate all year round and benefits fully from the Mediterranean climate as it is also one of the 5 sunniest cities in France!

A fascinating city
steeped in history…

This city won’t leave you indifferent!

Steeped in history, the city will undoubtedly make you think of Rome with its arenas reminiscent of the Colosseum, its Maison Carrée which is nothing other than a Roman temple as well as its Tour Magne, a vestige of the Roman fortifications.

 

Aside from its historical heritage, Nîmes is a city that is reinventing and modernising itself, as evidenced by the Musée de la Romanité (Museum of Roman History) with its undulating facade, as well as the contemporary art museum designed by Norman Foster, representative of high-tech architecture.

 

In short, many see it as being THE cultural city par excellence and many Californie Plage holidaymakers set off to spend a day of discovery there.
