The Halles Marty are open all year round. This is the first place you should head to when you arrive in Valras-Plage. Every morning, fishermen, market gardeners and local producers sell their wares here: Mediterranean fish, shellfish and oysters from the Thau lagoon, harvested just a few kilometres away.
It’s also here that you realise Valras-Plage isn’t a seaside resort like any other. There’s still a vibrant local community, a producer-led economy, and regulars who know exactly what they’re looking for.
Just a one-minute walk from the village, the fishing harbour remains bustling with local fishermen throughout the season. With boats returning in the morning and fish sold directly on the quay, this is the Valras-Plage of before mass tourism – and it’s still very much alive.
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the pier all year round, while sightseeing cruises and fishing trips also depart from the marina.
On the last weekend of June, Valras-Plage celebrates the Saint Peter Festival, the traditional fishermen's festival.
Three days of entertainment, parades and live music culminate in the solemn sea procession, an annual tribute to the local fishing community.
It is one of the most authentic events on the Herault coast, just 11 minutes' walk from Hello Summer Inn.
Le dernier week-end de juin, Valras-Plage célèbre la fête de la Saint-Pierre. Trois jours d'animations, de défilés et de musique culminant avec la procession solennelle en mer — hommage annuel aux pêcheurs. L'un des événements les plus authentiques de la côte héraultaise, à 11 minutes à pied d'Hello Summer Inn.
Tout l'été, le Théâtre de la Mer propose des concerts et animations gratuits en plein air. Les artistes se produisent dans une ambiance de station à taille humaine, loin des grandes scènes aseptisées.
What water activities are available in Valras-Plage?
Visitors can enjoy surfing and paddleboarding in the unpatrolled area north of the beach, boat trips departing from the marina, fishing from the pier all year round, and water sports equipment rental during the season along the seafront.
Where can I shop in Valras-Plage?
The Halles Marty market is the top choice for fresh local products. Convenience stores, a pharmacy, and several supermarkets are all within walking distance of Hello Summer Inn, in less than 10 minutes.
La fête de la Saint-Pierre est-elle accessible depuis Hello Summer Inn ?
Yes. The motorhome area is located 11 minutes on foot from the centre of Valras-Plage. The festival takes place in the village streets and around the harbour, so everything can be reached without moving your campervan.
