Easter Kick-Off: First Animations and Tournaments of the Year at Le Paradis
Spring is the moment many families and outdoor lovers start asking the same question: what is already open and happening at Easter? The Easter Kick-Off at Le Paradis marks the real beginning of the season, with the campsite opening from 28 March to 25 October and the first animations, outdoor activities, and tournaments getting underway as soon as the season starts. If you want a holiday that feels lively from day one, Easter is an ideal time to arrive.
This guide explains what you can expect during the Easter Kick-Off, which activities begin early in the season, what families can enjoy in spring, and how to plan a smooth stay. It is especially useful if you are comparing spring dates, looking for a nature-focused break, or wondering whether there is already enough to do before summer arrives.
Why the Easter Kick-Off is a great time to visit
The early season has a special rhythm. The campsite is open, the services are running, and the atmosphere feels relaxed while still offering plenty to do. From March 28 to October 25, 2026, all vacation rentals and campsite services are open. The three holiday homes are available year-round.
That matters because a successful spring break depends on more than accommodation alone. During the Easter period, guests can already enjoy the campsite environment, daily leisure options, and the first entertainment highlights of the year.
What is open during the Easter period?
During the campsite opening period, guests can access the main services and infrastructure, including:
- Pools
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Shop
- High-speed Wi-Fi across the whole campsite, free of charge
To access the Wi-Fi, guests simply connect to the Camping Le Paradis network and create an account using an email address.
For many spring travellers, this combination is exactly what makes Easter attractive: you get the fresh energy of a new season without waiting for high summer.
What animations start at Easter?
The Easter Kick-Off is all about the return of shared activities, friendly competition, and outdoor fun. During the operating season, activities for adults are organized, including:
- Cycling excursions with the campsite owners
- Walking excursions with the campsite owners
- On-site sports games
Evening events also begin early in the season, with weekly entertainment such as:
- Concert nights
- Bingo nights
- Karaoke nights
This makes Easter an appealing time for guests who want more than a quiet base. You can spend the day outdoors, then enjoy a social evening without leaving the campsite.
Are tournaments already running in spring?
Yes. The Easter period is when the year begins to feel active and communal again, and spring is a natural time for the first tournaments and friendly competitions. One of the key free-use facilities available on site is the pétanque court, which fits perfectly with the season’s first championships and informal matches.
Alongside pétanque, guests can also make use of:
- Table tennis tables
- A football pitch
- A fitness trail
- A children’s playground with a climbing wall
The reception also lends out balls and rackets at no extra charge, making it easy to join in spontaneously.
For guests planning an active break, Easter offers a practical advantage: activities are already in motion, but the pace of the season still feels easy and enjoyable.
Easter activities for children and families
For families, the Easter Kick-Off is not limited to evening entertainment or sports. Spring is also a time for nature-themed activities and games throughout the campsite, arranged during peak periods like Easter, school holidays, and long weekends.
That makes Easter a strong option for parents who want to combine fresh air, play, and a family-friendly environment.
What can children do at Easter?
During the Easter period, children can enjoy:
- Nature-themed activities
- Games throughout the campsite
- Playtime on the playground with climbing wall
- Table tennis and open-air recreation
A hiking trail starts directly from the campsite, which also helps families turn a simple spring stay into a more exploratory holiday.
When is the Kid’s Club open?
The kids' club is open in July and August and is accessible free of charge to children from 4 years old. During that peak summer period, the entertainment team offers a wide range of activities and evening events.
At Easter, the family focus is on springtime games, nature activities, and the first seasonal entertainment moments rather than the full summer club schedule.
What adults can enjoy during the Easter Kick-Off
The Easter Kick-Off is not only for children. Adults looking for a spring reset can make the most of a holiday that mixes outdoor movement, low-pressure entertainment, and practical on-site comfort.
Outdoor activities
Guests can rent:
- Canoes
- Bicycles
- The tennis court
- Pedal karts
These options add variety to a spring break. Some guests prefer active mornings and relaxed afternoons, while others build their stay around sports, walks, and on-site events. Easter is ideal for both styles.
Evening atmosphere
Weekly evening programming gives the season a lively social dimension. Concerts, bingo, and karaoke nights create easy occasions to spend time together after a day outdoors.
This is especially valuable during spring stays, when travellers often want a holiday that feels animated without becoming overly busy.

Tips to get the most out of the Easter Kick-Off
If you are considering a spring booking, these simple tips can help you enjoy the Easter Kick-Off even more.
1. Plan for a mixed-pace holiday
Easter works best when you combine activity and downtime. Build your stay around a few key moments:
- A walking or cycling outing
- A sports session on site
- A family game or nature activity
- An evening event during the week
2. Use the free facilities
The free-use facilities make it easy to stay active without overplanning. The pétanque court, football pitch, fitness trail, table tennis tables, and playground add value every day of the stay.
3. Think beyond summer-only travel
Many travellers automatically look to July and August, but Easter has its own strengths. You still get entertainment, open services, and outdoor experiences, while enjoying the fresh start of the season.
4. Explore related stay options
If you are deciding between a spring campsite holiday and a different style of break, the year-round holiday homes offer another way to enjoy the destination. They can also be a useful option for guests planning travel outside the main campsite opening period.
