Located on the Frioul Islands, just 20 minutes by boat from Marseille’s Vieux-Port, Le Village des Gréements is a unique holiday centre dedicated to hosting school groups. The resort offers an environment that encourages learning and discovery of the Mediterranean marine environment.
Our holiday centre, made up of 11 semi-communal accommodation bungalows, enjoys a prime waterfront location on 7,000 m² of wooded grounds. In a peaceful spot, it lies just a few metres from the beach. Our water sports centre offers an introduction to all kinds of water and underwater activities (sailing, kayaking, diving…).
Stays can be organised on a full-board or half-board basis. The resort offers classrooms, communal areas and privileged access to water sports and activities for discovering the archipelago. Stays are suitable from primary school through to lycée (upper secondary school).
Please note: the centre is closed from late October to mid-March.
Learning citizenship: respect for others, for the rules and for the environment, communicating and sharing in community life.

The magic of the archipelago
History, flora, fauna, landscape
History
Yellow fever, the Grand Saint-Antoine, the port of Pomègues, the Black Death, the lazarets, the Hôpital Caroline, the Berry breakwater, the remains of the Second World War, the Château d'If… A whole chapter in the history of the Frioul archipelago, closely bound up with Marseille.
Flora
Discover how the flora has adapted to the sometimes harsh climate. A whole ecosystem, well hidden but very much there.
Fauna
The gulls, or “gabians” in Provençal, may be ever-present and noisy, but they are not the archipelago's only inhabitants. Cory's shearwaters, jackdaws, falcons, owls… not to mention the rich marine life that can be seen even at the water's edge with your feet in the sea.
Islands “sculpted by the wind”
On Frioul, the mistral is the architect of the most arid microclimate in France: it sculpts, it erodes… What better place to work on reading the landscape?
