Family Weekend Idea

In the mood for new discoveries?

Come and share unforgettable family moments by the sea.

We marvel and learn

AT THE ONIRIA AQUARIUM

A unique moment to share with the whole family!

Through a fun and interactive tour, visitors can feel, vibrate and listen to: the vertigo of climbing to the top of a mountain, the feel of ice, the madness of a thunderstorm, the rush of a storm, the dampness of fog.... 

Over 3,500 individuals of 600 different species can be discovered in 83 tanks, including a huge aquarium featuring the site's most emblematic animal: sharks.

You can also take part in feeding events and watch Oniria species enjoying their meal! 

A privileged moment to interact with the caretakers and biologists: diet, lifestyle, particularities of each individual.

Birdwatching

FROM THE FISHING VILLAGE

On the banks of the Etang de Canet, take a family stroll around the reed and sanil huts where eel-fishing families once lived!

Follow the signposted path to the observatory hut, where you'll see the birds that live there peacefully, as well as the migratory species that come and go with the seasons.

Free access to the site. Dogs allowed on leash.

We enjoy churros

ALONG THE VASARELY PROMENADE

From Canet Sud, play hopscotch up to the Espace Méditerranée, following the black and white tiles laid out on the ground like piano keys. 

Once you've arrived at the beach center, enjoy a ride on the old-fashioned merry-go-round or, for the little ones, on the "lutins" merry-go-round.

Continue your voyage of discovery up to the harbour jetty, where you can imagine tales of pirates storming the town and admire the magnificent boats sailing peacefully on the waves.

We put ourselves in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes...

IN THE HEART OF THE OLD VILLAGE

Canet village reveals all its secrets.

Our Catalan village has many authentic and picturesque nooks and crannies, marks of time or hidden treasures etched in stone.

On the side of the church, note this signature on the stones, evoking the work of the stonemasons. Walk up the impasse du Lion from the church to the Château Vicomtal, and walk along the remaining ramparts, imagining yourself as a soldier watching over the plain.

Take a stroll to the art gallery, and look out for traces of the past along the way: sundial, well, wine press...
