Camping holidays in the Hérault by the sea
A camping holiday in the Hérault offers all the pleasures of swimming and sunbathing on a 100km-long stretch of Mediterranean coastline in places like Sérignan, Vias, Cap d'Agde and Marseillan which boast some of the most famous beaches in France. Away from the seaside resorts, it also means a chance to explore the Canal du Midi, the ancient fishing ports of the Etang de Thau and the unspoilt villages of Sète, Bouzigues and Pézenas, set amid oyster beds and awash with brightly coloured fishing boats.

Typical Languedoc dishes include the famous tielle sétoise, a delicious seafood pie, octopus in rouille sauce, the lamb-filled, cotton-reel-shaped petits pâtés de Pézenas, tapenade and roast Pélardon goat’s cheese. Whatever your taste, you’re sure to find a Mediterranean delicacy to set your taste buds tingling.
The Languedoc Route des Vins
Hérault, in the heart of France’s Languedoc region, is home to a host of small wine producers, their vineyards running down from the slopes of the Massif Central to the Mediterranean. Today the wines of the Languedoc are divided into five large protected appellations:
- Languedoc,
- Faugères,
- Saint-Chinian,
- Minervois,
- Clairette du Languedoc.
Visitors on a “wine route” camping holiday can choose from a number of different signposted circuits. The Route des Vins is a great way to explore the local countryside, sample its wines and meet its passionate local winemakers, ready and waiting to show you their wares. Follow them, glass in hand, on a wine discovery tour or tasting walk. It will certainly give you a different take on the landscape, villages and vineyards of the Languedoc. And if you’re on a camping holiday in Hérault, don’t forget that Flower’s campsite managers are ideally placed to recommend the best local wines.
