Parc highlights

A top class parc with a stunning pool complex and located within walking distance of a beautiful beach.

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