Pezenas is ideally situated for beaches, the mountains with the walks and lake activities, caves, Citadels such as Carcasonne and Aigues Mortes should be on your visit list. There is much to do and Late nights in Pezenas are very popular and 'different' from home.
Some suggestions are:...........
Rochlonge beach (near Cap D’Agde). Beach shops, beach bars and snack places Beach 20-25 minutes away.
There are at least 2 golf clubs within 20 minutes drive.
Pezenas is a rich historic town with loads of character. Good Saturday market (very different from anything in England - young kids love it), lots of restaurants, traditional bakeries, cafes and wine from €1 a bottle. And the great thing is....it's just a walk away.
Markets:
Pezenas – Saturday market from 9am to 4pm.
Bessan – Sunday market, morning only, very useful if you arrived late on Saturday.
Pezenas:
Walk around, check out the historic part. See later guide and walk. Late night opening in summer, Thursday. Very pretty center, very popular and you'll normally find various street entertainers as you walk around.
Canal du Midi:
Drive around the villages and towns, very French and picturesque.
Very pretty French drives around local area (color map in Masion), some small roads, some amazing views and off the beaten track.
Cap D’Agde – not very French, but lots to do ..(see map/leaflet)
Shops and restaurants for anytime or evening
Water Park
Luna Park
Aquarium
Dino Land
(see leaflets for details)
As you move away from the town, the harbor is a nice walk with the yachts and boats. There are bars and restaurants here and at the end of the evening there can be a firework show...but I've no idea why.
Valras Plage:
Beach, shops and restaurants.
Bit like Cap D’Agde but smaller.
Aigues Mortes (a walled town, smaller than Carcasonne)
About one hours drive, worth a visit, very pretty historic town, take a long lunch and enjoy. You can go up the big tower and walk around the ramparts, Adults about 10 Euro, children free I think.
Little train ride takes 20 mins, about 13 Euro.
Various boat trips take 2-3 hours, quite relaxing.
Carcasonne (a fantastic Citadel)
A good day out. Very busy on peak season (July & August), go early or go non-peak. Very beautiful town, looks like Disney’s castle. There is a car park near main entrance. Lots of shops and many restaurants.
Tennis – locally in town.
Horse riding
Lac de Salagou – big inland lake, fresh water, pedalows, windsurfing, sailing, etc. Take picnic, can be windy, no beach to play on, just a pebbly shoreline. If your children are like ours, you'll hire a pedalow and find you do all the pedaling while the children watch for fish :o)
Mountain biking – lots of places to go
Port Aventura – (owned by Universal Studios) big theme park south of Barcelona. Long day or stay over night at a Campanile.
Barcelona – need I say more, all the Gaudi stuff, the “Ramblers” shopping area, great shops, less than 3 hours.
