Swimming

We're a big swimming family.  Wherever we go, we look for places to swim.  When we are in Caussi in the summer, we usually swim every day. 

A great place to swim for kids and grownups alike is in the Orb River at the town of Roquebrun. There's a beach for picnics, a place to rent a kayak or a canoe, and a great restaurant in Roquebrun itself.

Our favorite beach on the Mediterranean is Serignan Plage (about 20 minutes from our house). (Picture below). We often go there in the late afternoon on hot summer days.   It's easy to park right behind the dunes and, if you want comfort, you can pay 10 euros to lie on a shaded chaise longue...or, as we usually do, just take some beach towels and an umbrella from the house.

The town of Serignan is an old beach town with funky cafes and old architecture.  It's nothing like the crowded ticky tacky of Agde with its boardwalks and condos.

In March the water wasn't warm enough to swim outdoors. Our daughter was training for her New York swim team finals so we tracked down the Beziers town pool...a beautiful indoor facility with locker rooms, cafe, that served her needs perfectly.
