A family destination

Sea and mountain, the diversity of our landscapes and the richness of our heritage and natural sites make the Mediterranean Pyrenees an excellent family destination!
Here, you will find countless possibilities for having fun with your family and sharing great moments of complicity and laughter.
Live together beautiful experiences that will delight the little ones... And the big ones!

Sea side…

The large family beaches of Argelès-sur-Mer and the coves all along the Côte Vermeille obviously offer a multitude of spots to enjoy the sun and the Big Blue. Stroll along the water's edge, or transform it into a playground for the little ones and a well-deserved idleness break for the parents.
To get moving, sea kayaking or snorkeling, on the marked underwater trail for example, are great activities to do as a family. And why not put your head under water and explore the superb seabed during a first dive? (From the age of 8)

To contemplate the beauty of the coast from the open sea, our partners offer outings aboard a catamaran, on classic boats or in an “underwater vision” version.
Stroll between Argelès-sur-Mer, Collioure and Port-Vendres with a view of the last foothills of the Pyrenees chain or treat yourself to an outing to discover the bottlenose dolphin... What a great opportunity to create unforgettable memories to take home. the House !

On the mountain side…

Give your children an unforgettable visit to our animal parks to discover and observe many species. Take advantage of the visit to take part in themed activities, feed the goats and turtles or... let the butterflies land on your heads!
For the more active, have fun on horseback, on our orientation courses or venture from one tree to another by visiting the tree climbing course at Lake Palau-del-Vidre. Our lakes also offer the possibility of going fishing with the children.
