Aqualand Cap D'Agde
Aqualand Cap D’Agde is a waterpark with slides that snake from side to side and plummet from great heights—on some, friends can have a good ole fashioned race. Plenty of playgrounds with spouting h20 and surrounding splash areas are around for smaller park-goers, and the ginormous pool is a place to just kick back and soak up that French sun. Green lawn simultaneously stretches throughout, and you’ll see sunbathers just toss there towel down about anywhere, to chill.
