Customer Rating

A complete Mediterranean holiday village on the edge of a long sandy beach, ideal for a lively beach holiday.

A warm welcome awaits at Club Farret. It’s a member of the Yelloh! Village chain of parcs and lies in the heart of Vias Plage. Situated beside a long stretch of glorious sandy beach, this large, lively parc has excellent facilities and organised entertainment throughout the season. There is an attractive pool complex, which includes an indoor spa, surrounded by a large sunbathing area and the restaurant with panoramic views is overlooked by the pirate themed bar. The parc is divided by a small road that leads to the beach. Most facilities are across the road, separate to where our accommodation is situated. The parc provides fun filled itineraries for children of all ages with its children’s clubs.

While the region offers many modern resorts, it is the unspoilt beauty and sleepy Mediterranean ambience and wonderful coastline that make the region so special.

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Club Farret.

"As we were only there for 5 days we stayed local but enjoyed a cycle along the canal. The ice cream bars were all fantastic too!"
C. Woodward, London

"If you walk across the estuary you'll reach a place called La Tamarissière. It has great shops and lovely restaurants on the sea. A public bus for just €1 will take you into Vias, a pretty medieval village."
N. Willis, Dyfed

"Where to start? We loved riding our bikes along the Canal du Midi, Beziers for the feria, the town and beach plus the journey along the coast to the neighbouring resorts."
R. Holmes, Lincolnshire

"We visited Pézenas, Carcassonne, Cap d'Agde, Montpellier, Palavas-les-Flots, Grotte de Clamouse caves and St-Guilhem-le-Desert. Carcassonne is well worth a visit but our favourite place was St-Guilhem-le-Desert: a beautiful unspoilt medieval town on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compestella. We combined it with a visit to the Grotte de Clamouse which was a good day out, I'd definitely recommend it. Montpellier is a lovely city to visit, very good for shopping and restaurants."
C. Simpson, South Yorkshire

"Montpellier city centre was a great day trip - it's a beautiful, picturesque city with lots of shopping and there's a lovely park for the kids. We were also lucky to be there when the wine festival was on. Cap d'Agde was great for tourist shops and we enjoyed looking at the yachts and street art. Europark at Vias Plage was great for all the family, we went in the early evening."
N. Randall, Leicestershire

"Carcassonne is definitely a worthwhile place to visit, and another good day out is Aigues Mortes in the Camargue. Nearby Sête is a great place to visit too, especially on market days."
G. Newcomb, Tyne & Wear

"We really liked visiting Pezenas, St-Guilhem-le-Desert and Carcassonne the most, however our favourite part of the holiday was cycling along the Canal du Midi - I would highly recommend it."
C. Wainwright, Staffordshire
