Days out in Côte d’Azur

Aqualand Water Park

This water park offers a wide range of slides and pools to keep the family cool, wet and happy! There is a wave pool, a show every afternoon and rides for all. Mini-golf is available for free all year round, plus there is a bar and a restaurant for you to have a drink and a bite to eat. If you are looking for family friendly things to do in the Côte d’Azur, it’s hard to beat a visit to Aqualand.

Pic de l'Ours

The Pic de l'Ours is situated in the Parc de Mont Orford, a beautiful forested parkland, perfect for mountain biking, horse riding and hiking. Take the winding path up to the top of the crest, the Pic de l'Ours, and then admire the magnificent views before making your way back to your Côte d’Azur campsite.

Gorges du Verdon

Les Gorges du Verdon are the result of erosion caused by the river Verdon which today has left gigantic fissures in the rock face. The sight really is spectacular and the Gorges draw many visitors every year. Surrounded by rich flora and fauna and peppered by tiny traditional French villages, Les Gorges shouldn't be missed if you are camping in the Côte d’Azur.

Marineland (Antibes)

Marineland is much more than an aquarium or a sea life centre. There are five different parks catering for all tastes. Marineland itself has a huge range of sea life and shows. There is the butterfly jungle, adventure golf, the 'little farm' and Aquasplash (a waterpark). This is one of the most popular attractions in the Côte d’Azur.

Ile d'Hyères

Iles d'Hyères is a group of tranquil islands with sandy beaches, are ideal for exploring by bike. The islands form a circle around the bay, attracting a number of tourists who take boat trips out to visit the ancient forts located on them. There is a great deal of history surrounding these islands and they are well worth a visit if you are staying at a nearby Côte d’Azur campsite.

Grasse

A visit to the perfume capital of the world, Grasse, is one of the most memorable things to do in the Côte d’Azur. There are free guided tours around many of the perfume factories, after which you are able to buy their products at factory prices. The town itself is also worth a visit, the most talked about piece of Grasse's past being to do with its position on the Route Napoléon and the lengthy and tumultuous stay of Pauline Bonaparte when she was separated from Prince Borghese.

Monaco

Monaco is world famous for being home to the rich and famous, and is within easy reach of many of our campsites in the Côte d’Azur. There is a lot to see and do here, including shopping, sightseeing and gambling, plus the route of the famous Monte Carlo Formula 1 motor-racing street circuit. Traffic can build up during high season and so taking the train makes a good alternative to driving. Be prepared to be amazed by this outstanding country.

St Tropez

Again, a haven for the rich and famous. Take a walk down to Millionaire's Harbour (one of the most iconic attractions in the Côte d’Azur) and marvel at the incredible yachts and speedboats moored there. St Tropez itself is a traditional looking French town full of designer shops and palm trees. There is a small sandy beach which is very popular in high season. St Tropez is expensive however, so be prepared to pay a little bit extra for those cold beers!

Nice

Nice is a beautiful city on the Mediterranean coast and has lots to offer its visitors. By the waterfront take a stroll down the Promenade des Anglais and stop off in one of the many bars, cafés or restaurants, watch out for the speeding Ferraris though! The city itself is a typical large French city; it has a great deal of history, ancient buildings, museums and lots of shops! The difference is its amazing geographical location, and it provides a pleasing contrast for those camping in the Côte d’Azur.
