Village Noel in one day
Surely, if you've seen pictures, you might feel a little overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in this little place. But do not worry, One day is more than enough to visit the site.
Remember This is a recreation of a Christmas town, not a real town, so that all attractions that available they are very close to each other.
We visited it on a Sunday and we had plenty of time to get to know the surroundings a bit.
Tips for visiting Village Noel in Le Barcarés
- The first advice we give you is that organize your day well because if you only want to visit the enclosure, a whole day can be a long time, so I advise you look for some surrounding villages that you can visit. Later, when it is getting dark, go to the enclosure and see it at night, which is when it is most beautiful.
- If you go with the family and your budget is tight, you can bring sandwiches and eat them before entering the venue. That will save you some money and surely you won't be able to resist dessert.
- To park on these dates you have plenty of space throughout the place. Le Barcarés is a coastal town that at this time is almost deserted. Of course, do not even dream of having a place near the enclosure.
- If you can avoid the designated times such as holidays and Sundays in December and January, all the better. If you have availability and can go during the week, you will have less queues and less saturation at the attractions.
One of the most important tricks to avoiding queues at the entrance is to stop by in the morning to buy the tickets and once you have them you can spend the day wherever you want. This, if you stay in Le Barcarès all day.
Later when you really want to enter the venue you will simply skip the queue to buy the tickets.
In the morning, when it opens, it is usually quite empty, since when more people accumulate it is in the evening.
Note: At the moment you cannot buy tickets online.
rush hours, where the queues start to form to buy the tickets It is about 18:00. Even though you have about 4 boxes to buy the tickets and an automatic machine, the queues are usually quite important, in addition to all the nitty-gritty that make up the groups.
We saw these long lines since We bought the tickets in the morning and we only had to queue to get in.
Remember the enclosure is completely closed and you cannot leave and re-enter with the same ticket.
