WRITER Laura Bond and her family headed out on a much-need break in the South of France.
They stayed in a cute wooden chalet in the ancient town of Béziers, where they found lagoons, Lego and lots of fine French food.
The pad
SITTING between the ancient town of Béziers and the Mediterranean Sea, the huge Sunêlia Domaine de la Dragonnière campsite is surrounded by Languedoc vineyards.
Touring pitches are available, but we opted for a cute two-bedroom wooden chalet with a terrace and continental brekkie.
Meanwhile, the Musée du Jouet in Valras-Plage, a 15-minute drive from the site, is packed floor to ceiling with Lego and K’Nex displays.
Entry costs £5 for adults, £3.50 for kids. Plus, the beach, perfect for sandcastle building, is at the end of the road.
