The peak of the third wave of COVID-19 seems to have passed, the travel restriction of less than 10 kilometers will be lifted on May 2, and Jean Castex has confirmed the goal of reopening certain businesses, as well as certain sports and cultural activities and terraces
, by mid-May. These announcements clear the horizon in general, and that of the summer holidays in particular. A vacation like an El Dorado that makes us forget a year of coronavirus, with its lockdowns, curfews, and general gloom.
There are still three months to look forward to a long-awaited summer vacation. At least for vacations in France, since travel outside the country may still be subject to entry and exit restrictions. We need sunshine, mild weather, and relaxation. We think of the south, the land of golden beaches and the southern atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast, which stretches from Occitanie to the Côte d'Azur, from the Pyrenees to the Alps. With a wide range of options to suit all tastes and budgets. Particularly with the campsites in Hérault, which offer options that have long since moved beyond the simple, traditional pitching of a tent.
High-end beachfront campsites
High-end options blur the lines between residence and campsite, offering similar accommodations and entertainment. Like Camping Nouvelle Floride in Marseillan Plage, which combines direct access to a beautiful white sand beach with a heated outdoor water park featuring aqua-fun pool, slides, and a paddling pool, an indoor pool with a spa area, and entertainment worthy of its 5-star rating. Prices vary, too, with options ranging from €1,000 to €1,800 per week for a mobile home and €500 per week for a campsite.
Campsites to enjoy the atmosphere of the South
Unless you prefer to immerse yourself in a truly southern atmosphere. Like with Camping Beau Rivage in Mèze on the banks of the Thau basin, to enjoy the character of Bouzigues a few kilometers away and Sète on the other side of the lake. Or the choice between relaxing and discovering the landscapes of the Camargue with Camping Bon Port in Lunel, between the beaches of La Grande Motte and the Cévennes mountains, between the fiery Montpellier and the medieval ramparts of superb Aigues-Mortes, a starting point for exploring the beaches and the Petite Camargue, which you can explore by bike in search of its salt marshes, white horses, bull farms, and flamingos that perch in the shallow waters. Which doesn't stop you from also enjoying the campsite's swimming pool and waterslides! So many opportunities for a summer filled with warmth, sweetness, and character. Everything you need to draw a line under the clouds, or at least give yourself a break from a gloomy period, where opportunities to enjoy quality time alone, as a couple, or with family aren't so numerous.
