What to do in Zuid-Frankrijk

The southern coast of France is made for families. Wide sandy beaches with calm water, sunny little harbour towns and swimming pools close at hand, all within easy reach of your hotel. Between days on the beach there is plenty to discover, from pink flamingos in the Camargue to centuries-old fortified towns.

• Beach and pool without a long drive

  The seaside resorts along this coast all have long, shallow sandy beaches where small children can paddle safely. La Grande-Motte, Valras-Plage and Argelès-sur-Mer are proper family resorts with promenades and ice cream parlours. Many residences have their own pool, so you can decide each day whether it is the beach or the pool.

• The Camargue with flamingos and white horses

  Just behind the coast lies the Camargue, a vast nature reserve with pink flamingos, white horses and black bulls. You can cycle, walk or take a horse ride along the marshes. For children, seeing those flamingos for the first time in real life is something special.

• Seaquarium in Le Grau-du-Roi

  In the harbour town of Le Grau-du-Roi (Port Camargue) you will find the Seaquarium, with sharks, seals and a large tank full of marine life. A lovely outing for a cloudy day, or when the children have had enough of the beach for a while. Combine it with a stroll around the pleasant marina.

• Water fun at Aqualand Cap d'Agde

  At Cap d'Agde lies Aqualand, a large water park with slides for young and old. A guaranteed success of a day for families with children who love action. Go early, as it is a popular spot on warm days.

• Aigues-Mortes and the Pont du Gard

  For a day of culture, drive to Aigues-Mortes, a completely walled medieval town where you can walk along the ramparts. A little further on lies the Pont du Gard, an impressive Roman aqueduct where you can swim in the river beneath it. Both are easy to do with children and stay in the memory for a long time.

• Markets and good French food

  Almost every town has its own weekly market with fresh fish, fruit, olives and baguette. Stock up for a picnic on the beach or by the pool. In the evening you dine together by the harbour, where most restaurants also have a child-friendly menu.
