What can you do on a camping holiday in the Pyrénées-Orientales?

With such varied natural surroundings, you’re all set for a very pleasant camping holiday in the Pyrénées-Orientales! You can spend your days beside the sea in places such as Canet-en-Roussillon, Le Barcarès, Torreilles or Port-Vendres. The Catalan coast is graced with some magnificent beaches, and its seaside villages are brimming with charm. Take, for example, Collioure, one of the most beautiful villages in France.

You can also explore the Pyrenees mountains, which are equally splendid. Seize this opportunity to get up close to Mount Canigou, the emblem of the Catalan region that holds a special place in the hearts of the locals. And take the chance to visit the stunning Abbey Saint-Martin, renowned for its breathtaking beauty and spectacular vistas. There are also some beautiful villages tucked away in the mountains: Villefranche-de-Conflent, Castelnou, Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste... all ideal for a pleasant stroll.

You’ll also find some lovely rivers in the mountains and, together with the coast, they provide ample opportunities for water-based activities. Whether you prefer something gentle, like kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, or a real aquatic adventure, with canyoning, rafting or even via ferrata.

Finally, don’t miss a trip to Perpignan, the capital of the department. It’s known as “La Rayonnante” (or the Radiant) and definitely deserves to be in the spotlight, as it has so much to offer. Visit its historic centre, the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, the famous Castillet fortifications, and its delicious restaurants… enjoy a wonderful stroll around the town. Rugby fans can even attend a match (or several!) in one of the most vibrant atmospheres to be found at any rugby union and rugby league stadium in France!
