Among the many options, the Hérault region offers numerous attractions. Discover 5 reasons to spend a few days there and stay at Camping l'Occitan in Vias (34).
Reason °1: The Sun
The biggest concern when booking a holiday is bad weather, as rain can ruin your plans.

Reason °2: Relaxation
With its fine sandy beaches, Vias promises hours of relaxation. Swimming, beach games, ice cream — just close your eyes and unwind. Beyond Vias, the entire Hérault department offers beaches worth exploring. Among the most beautiful is La Grande Conque beach in Agde, just a few kilometers from Camping l'Occitan. This unspoiled beach lies at the foot of a volcanic cliff, which gives its sand a striking black color. Similarly, Bosquet Beach in Portiragnes is a must-visit with its vegetation, wooden fences, and dunes. To wrap up your outing, settle on Lazaret Beach in the city center of Sète.
Reason °3: Breathtaking Nature
The Hérault region is less known for its inland treasures, yet they are magnificent. North of Montpellier, the Salagou Lake is a hidden gem. Its red soil, the scent of wild thyme, and its vast expanse of water create a surprising landscape, both beautiful and serene. Just minutes away, near the village of Mourèze, gigantic limestone columns (dolomites) stretch across 8 km. This prehistoric cirque, covered in vegetation, forms a natural labyrinth.
Moreover, with over 300,000 visitors annually, the Navacelles Cirque is one of the most visited spots in Hérault. These deep gorges date back to prehistoric times and are crowned by towering cliffs.
