I’m not going to linger on Valras Plage. The weather was grey and dull and so was the town.  It was my fault we went there. I read an article in which it was named as one of the top 10 beaches in France. The campsite owner from Weymouth said it was rather like Weymouth, but in my opinion, Weymouth wins hands down.

We did a lot of walking about. There was a long – very long – sandy beach and two streets of tacky shops selling all the same tacky stuff. There was a marina at one end of the town and on the other side of a river, a pretty beach with sand dunes but we couldn’t find a way to reach it. The other end of the town was dominated by a massive Casino. Which was shut.

The campsite had some nice features and the proprietors were lovely but, as we discovered in the morning, it was too close to a busy road.

All in all, Valras Plage was a ‘fail’ from which we quickly move on.
