Discover Mireval

The Escape of the Pink Flamingos invites you to Mireval, more precisely near leisure parks, near the beach. Fall in love with the natural beauty of the area around the iconic Plage des Aresquiers and Frontignan Plage, or enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the famous Kid’s Paradise and Mini golf Goolfy.

Mireval is located at the foot of the Gardiole massif, a true ecological and historical treasure as well as a paradise for mountain bikers and other hikers. Stretching over 18 km from Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone to Frontignan, the massif offers visitors magnificent panoramic views of the nearby Mediterranean, the Étang de Thau, and the surrounding villages.
