Bois de Valmarie Argelès-sur-Mer Site no: WM014

At a Glance

Customer Rating

A stunning pool complex within walking distance of the beach.

Bois de Valmarie has become a popular choice with our customers. It is set on a hillside just across the road from the beach of Le Racou, and a short walk from lively Argelès with many restaurants and bars. The waterpark, with fantastic views of the Bay of Argelès, includes a split-level pool linked by waterfalls, waterchutes and waterslides. The restaurant and bar on this small parc are the ideal location for relaxing at the end of the day. Trains can occasionally be heard from the nearby railway.
