This is the classic French holiday village done well: a huge pine-covered estate above the red rocks of the Esterel with four pools including slides and a lazy river, a genuinely free kids club from age six months through school holidays, and a miniature train down to the beach at Agay. It is not glamorous, but children run free here and parents can properly switch off.
Our verdict
One of the best value, most genuinely kid-friendly bases on this coast, thanks to the free club and the sheer scale of the pool complex. Book if you want children entertained without constant parental involvement.
The rooms
Self-catering apartments and studios spread across a pine-covered 210-hectare estate, from simple studios to two-bedroom apartments with a kitchen and a terrace. Family units sleep up to six, useful for larger families or two generations travelling together.

Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
The kids club accepts babies from 6 months and the resort's flat, car-free paths are easy with a pram, though apartments are simple rather than luxurious.

12 yrs and up
A dedicated teen club and evening entertainment give older kids their own space away from younger siblings.

Yes, for guests staying on site the club is free with a set number of sessions depending on stay length, non-resident guests pay per session.
How do we get to the beach?
A miniature shuttle train runs from the resort down to Agay beach, it is a short and pleasant ride, not a long walk.
Do we need a car here?
