As every year, Vias in Hérault (34) becomes the stage for numerous festivities. In addition to the activities offered by Camping l'Occitan in Vias, a full program awaits you.
Star Gazing
The clear summer skies are perfect for stargazing from the beach. This free activity, open to all, will allow you to learn about astronomy and observe the mysteries of the sky. Join us on June 25, July 2 and 9, as well as August 20 and 27, at the Libron Leisure Center “Nelson Mandela” to explore the planets.
Vias in Jazz
From July 24 to 26, 2015, Vias will be buzzing with the 20th edition of its jazz festival. Exceptional artists will perform in six free concerts at various locations throughout the city, bringing jazz to a wide audience. To keep the festive spirit alive, the “Cave à Jazz de la Vigneronne” will host jam sessions every evening with talented musicians. This event is perfect for both enthusiasts and experts alike.
The Navarette Challenge
Typical of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, jousting adds a charming touch of folklore much appreciated by holidaymakers. On August 7th at 8:30 PM, the Navarette Challenge will take place on the Canal du Midi near the Jonquié Bridge. This contest pits two teams against each other on blue and red boats. The clashes, punctuated by the sound of drums, will conclude with a fireworks display at the Europark amusement park.
Musical Cruises
After a busy day, what could be more delightful than continuing your evening with music, gently rocked by the calm waters of the Canal du Midi? In an exceptional setting, you’ll enjoy a two-hour show featuring both French and international hits, blending soft melodies and lively rhythms. Departures are scheduled for July 17th, 24th, and 31st, as well as August 14th, 21st, and 28th, and September 4th, 2015, from the nautical stop in Vias (34).

A Theatrical Twist
In July and August, theatre takes center stage in Vias with four comedies showcased under the name "Fût en Scène." This unique program is even more remarkable as it unfolds in the cellars of Domaine de Saint-Pierre, where winemaker Olivier de Maurepas has set up a 45-seat café-theatre. He skillfully combines local heritage, passion, and comedy in this extraordinary venue. Wine tasting from the estate is available at the end of the show. (Tel: +33 6 16 51 65 93). Whether it’s music, theatre, or a cruise, your holiday outings in Vias (34) will be diverse. Paired with themed evenings at the Occitan campsite, summer promises to be a true delight!
