Apart from the obvious attractions of the beaches of the Mediterranean and those of the mountain lakes, the following will appeal particularly, to children: -

• African animal reserve (1 hour from Autignac) with 3500 animals, open all year.
• Farm zoo, with over 200 animals, set by the River Orb
• An ostrich zoo and falconry/eagle centre, both at Carcassone. The latter encourages children to participate in the handling of the birds in the daily flying displays.
• A water park (Toons hand) at Cap d’Agde
• A karting track, also at Cap d’Agde
