Hi,

Just been looking on t'internet to plan next years summer holiday and have been amazed by the number of campsites in Argeles sur Mer (near Perpignan, France).

Because of the daunting choice I wonder if anyone who has been to this area and could either recommend somewhere to stay or to avoid!!

Thanks

Hi Monsieur.

                I have been camping at Argeles, can't remember the name of the site, our Son was around 6 at the time, so I am going back over fifteen years, the site was brilliant with everything a young family needs, I would never go back to that West side of the Med again, the winds in July, were too powerfull, coming down from the Massif Central mountains, my wife was blown out to see in a rubber dinghy, I would have lost her had it not been for the coastguards!. the best place I have found for Sun Sea and ?, is at the East end of the Med, Camping du Pylon, and Camping Le Brague both at Biot close to Antibes Nice and Cannes, couple of hundred yards from the pebble beach, and no wind at all hardly. also not far away we camped for a week at Camping Les Pins Parasols, at Frejus superb site with Sandy beaches about half a mile away, we were even joined one early evining by a snake in the tent, must have been the Madras Curry we were cooking, this time our Son was ten, and did an indiana jones on the snake, unlucky snake! , although my wife (not a lover of snakes), insisted we left the next day, we did and meandered our way back home taking in Italy, and Switerland, best holiday I have ever had.

Hi, I love the east of the med aswell, I remember camping du pylon and that area from 3 months I spent camping down their in 1991. Agay in particular was beautiful and would be an excellent place for your wife to relax on her dinghy being very sheltered!

BUT I also love the pyrenees and like to combine a beach and countryside holiday. Also sometimes the wind is quite nice if its 40+ like this year near Agde.

Thanks for bringing back good memories - I will have to go their again soon

Camping Les Dunes was bought by owners of La Sirene last year, so expect the standards to increase there from next year, its ideally located right on the beach, and its on the Perpignan ring road (med side).

The surrounding area looks like it has lots of activities and other campsites too
