The French municipality of Vendres in the département of Hérault is characterised by long stretches of coastline on the Mediterranean, adorned with high dunes. The Étang de Vendres, a pond surrounded by vast fields and vineyards, lies at the heart of the rural town. To the south-west, Vendres is enriched by the idyllic Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Regional Nature Park and the Aude estuary, and to the north lies the historic cultural city of Béziers.

Special features of camping in Vendres

Vendres is a true natural paradise and at the same time a small town with charming architecture. But the white beaches are the biggest highlight for most campers. That's why all the campsites in Vendres are located in close proximity to the clear sea. The most north-easterly sites have direct access to the beach, which is particularly appealing to swimming fans, while the most south-westerly campsites are around 1 km from the Aude and 3 km from the Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Regional Nature Park. This location is particularly popular with hikers and cyclists. However, water sports enthusiasts such as sailors, fishermen and kayakers also get their money's worth in Vendres and the surrounding area.

How to get there

It is around 1,000 kilometres from Munich to the municipality of Vendres. The best way to get there by caravan is via Bregenz, Zurich, Geneva and Valence. First, campers take the A96 motorway heading west, which becomes the A14 in Austria. After Bregenz, they soon reach Switzerland, where they follow the A1 via Zurich, Bern and Geneva. From the French border, the A1 is replaced by the A41. At Chambéry, holidaymakers take the A43, followed by the A48 and the A49. After Valence, they take the A7 and then the A9, which leads via Montpellier to Vendres. Travellers coming from the north of Germany, for example from Hamburg, can expect to cover around 1,500 km. This route takes you directly to France via Frankfurt am Main and Freiburg im Breisgau and then also via Valence to the south. For campers from Munich or the surrounding area, we recommend stopping halfway at Lake Geneva to stretch your legs. Holidaymakers living in the north can take a break in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park after the French border.

Activities and excursions

Adventure-seekers can go canoeing on the River Hérault in the area around Vendres. Nature lovers can go for walks in the Salagou Valley and culture vultures can explore Béziers or Montpellier.

A unique natural spectacle in the Salagou Valley

The Salagou Valley is a good 60 kilometres from Vendres and boasts an incomparable landscape. This area is home to the Lac du Salagou, which is surrounded by rolling hills. The red colour of the soil around the lake is particularly typical and interesting. However, this region is enriched not only by millions of years old rust-red sedimentary rock, but also by black basalt and white dolomite rock. To the south of Lac du Salagou is the Cirque de Mourèze, a sea of rocks that is well worth seeing. These bizarrely shaped limestone rocks should not be missed on a tour through the Salagou Valley.

Cultural assets in Vendres and Béziers

Those interested in culture can visit the centre of Vendres and see the 14th century Saint-Étienne church, among other things. The neighbouring medium-sized town of Béziers is also home to historical treasures. Holidaymakers can explore Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, where they can climb the bell tower for a fabulous view. Another highlight in Béziers is the almost 250 metre long bridge from the 12th century, which is particularly impressive with its 15 arches.

Gastronomy

When camping in Vendres, guests like to enjoy a classic breakfast with a coffee with milk and a croissant or a brioche - the traditional round yeast rolls. For lunch and dinner, light dishes such as tasty fish are on the menu in the south of France on the Mediterranean. Fresh oysters are also particularly popular in this region. This speciality is preferably served baked, stuffed or au gratin. However, raw oysters flavoured with lemon juice are considered a classic. The cheese known here as fromage plays an important role throughout France. Campers can try their way through countless hard and soft cheeses. It is served with a crusty piece of baguette and, if possible, a regional wine.

Best time to visit

In summer, travellers can expect a warm climate and plenty of sunshine when camping in Vendres. Temperatures are at their highest in July and August with an average of 27 degrees Celsius. The water in the Mediterranean warms up to around 22 degrees Celsius during this time, which attracts many bathing fans. The coldest months are December, January and February with around 11 degrees Celsius. Due to such mild winters, Vendres is attractive for holidaymakers all year round. Sports enthusiasts in particular appreciate the moderate temperatures in spring and autumn. During these periods, temperatures in the region are between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for hikers and cyclists, for example.
