Sunbathing in Occitania

Sunbathing in Occitania – main image

In the south of France, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, between the resorts of Narbonne-Plage and Gruissan, there is a well-equipped campsite. It provides tourists with everything they could want during a holiday on the French coast - after all, it is the largest facility of this type in the entire resort. What campsite are we talking about? About La Côte des Roses, which advertises itself as an ideal place for a family holiday and heaven on earth for water sports enthusiasts. Sounds tempting?

A holiday with a view of the Massif de la Clape

The camping area is flat and pleasantly wooded, which ensures tourists can relax comfortably even in the hottest weather. It is only 400 meters from the sandy beach. It is also important that Camping La Côte des Roses is easy to get to - it is located right next to the D332, connecting Hargicourt with Ronssoy. Accommodation is available both in cottages and on plots where vacationers with their own trailers or campers can stay.

Thanks to its location , the campsite attracts water sports enthusiasts , with particular emphasis on kite- and windsurfing. People who love water can easily rent water skis or a catamaran. Boredom is not a threat to those who prefer to spend their free time on land - either by walking around the area, exploring it by bike, riding a horse or, for example, a quad bike. Mountain hike enthusiasts can go to the Massif de la Clape , a small limestone massif.

The facility has toilets adapted to the needs of tourists who have problems with independent mobility. Animal lovers will be interested in the fact that the campsite provides a dog shower area where you can bathe your pet. The amenities also include La Rose des Sables, a snack bar (option to order takeaway pizza), a grocery store and a barbecue area (special zone). It is possible to use a washing machine and a dryer, as well as a safe. There is a paid Wi-Fi zone in the central part.

Family vacation on the Mediterranean Sea

The campsite is very popular among families with children. Everyone, regardless of age, will have great fun in the water park - the little ones in the shallow pools or on the water playground, and the slightly older ones on the slides. If someone would like to reach the water at a faster speed - no problem. At a distance of approx. 1.2 km there are the Aquajet Parc Canaima areas with a whole range of water entertainment, starting from three water slides, a large swimming pool, a paddling pool for the youngest, through bouncy castles and other structures in which children can jump at will, and ending with trampolines.

In addition to a wide range of entertainment, the youngest guests of the campsite also have a team of professional animators at their disposal, providing a rich program of attractions, including fun and sports games.

Relaxation on the Occitania coast

Sunbathing on a beach deckchair, swimming, water sports or team games - all this is an ideal option for spending your holiday on the French coast. However, it is worth taking advantage of the opportunity and devoting part of your vacation to sightseeing. We may not be in a region that could compete with, for example, Île-de-France in terms of the number of monuments, but holidays in Languedoc-Roussillon (today part of a larger region - Occitania) will also be successful. People who would like to feel the atmosphere of French towns during their holiday can go, among others, to: to Gruissan, Narbonne-Plage or Saint-Pierre-sur-Mer. All localities are located within the Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Regional Park , with coastal lakes to the east and the low Corbières Mountains to the southwest and west. In the park you can see numerous species of animals and plants (over 1.5 thousand of them). An interesting fact may be the fact that Narbonne-Plage is a resort that was created as a result of the retreat of the sea - the water gave a piece of the bottom to the land. Today, historic Narbonne is approximately 17 km away from the coastline. It is worth visiting this city to see traces of the Italian past - it was the first Roman colony outside Italy.

The larch routes of Les Orres
Les Orres is a small but very picturesque French ski station. It is located in close proximity to the village of Embrun, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The proximity of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the surrounding larch forests, combined with the gradually increasing number of well-prepared ski slopes, ensure the station's interest in tourists. It is approximately 1,860 km away from Warsaw. By car, this distance can be covered in approximately 20 hours. When planning a vacation in Les Orres , you need to be prepared that it will be difficult to take advantage of all the attractions offered by the resort. There may simply not be enough time for it. 101 km of slopes of all levels of difficulty await skiers - gentle and easy in the lower parts of the mountains (making it an ideal ski resort for beginners) and demanding in the higher ones, including the red Grand Cabane running between forests, almost 6 km long. There are smaller slopes at Les Orres 1800 , ideal for driving lessons. At an altitude of more than 2,000 m above sea level, there are ambitious routes that should not be used by people without experience. It is an area of quite long routes, mostly red, running from the mountain ridge to the station itself. While hiking on Clos Deguis, Bergerie, Boussolenc or Myrtilles, apart from the next sips of adrenaline, you can focus on admiring the valley with its villages and the mirror of Serre-Ponçon Lake. It is better to concentrate on the most difficult route of the resort, the famous L'Horrible ("Terrifying") or the black Pousterle, which is used in organizing international competitions. In addition to the ski runs served by 22 lifts, the station offers an ice rink, a toboggan run and a snow park with a boardercross track, snowmobile riding, paragliding and climbing frozen waterfalls. There are also restaurants and pubs, the resort also has a disco and a cinema.
