The surroundings

In the vicinity of our campsite there are charming towns and picturesque villages ready for you to discover. Visit local markets, where the flavors and crafts of the region come to life, or wander the cobbled streets of one of the most beautiful villages in all of France: Conques. If you prefer lively urban adventures, Rodez and Figeac are definitely worth it.

In addition to the seductive charm of these villages and towns, the natural environment offers numerous opportunities for walking or cycling. The calm river that flows next to our campsite invites you to refreshing canoe trips and invigorating swimming moments. For the adventurous among us, there are impressive mountains to explore, where you can hike and even climb via ferrata routes. Furthermore, the area is home to a wealth of mysterious caves waiting to be explored.

While we love sharing beautiful photos of it all, we believe nothing can compare to the experience of discovering it for yourself. Here you will find vast, unspoilt nature with breathtaking walking and cycling routes, waiting to be explored by you.

La Vinzelle

Around the campsite, you’ll find numerous charming villages to explore or enjoy a delightful lunch. One of these gems is La Vinzelle, a picturesque village just a stone’s throw away. Here, you can embark on beautiful hikes of 4 or 12 kilometers, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings. There’s also a shorter 2 km route through the village itself, perfect for families with young children.

Would you like to end your walk with a delicious meal? Be sure to book in advance at the village restaurant!

Conques

La Vinzelle is known as a pilgrimage site in the Aveyron region. The village lies along the route to Santiago de Compostela, so you’re rarely walking alone—there’s always a lively atmosphere. In addition to being a pilgrim destination, La Vinzelle is also considered one of the most beautiful villages in France, making it an unmissable stop during your vacation.

Enjoy wonderful hiking trails, almost all of which offer stunning views of the picturesque village. It’s the perfect destination for a relaxing nature-filled adventure!

Saint-Parthem: The Village Next to the Campsite

Saint-Parthem is just a stone’s throw from the campsite and can be reached in several ways.

Drifting towards the village is a fantastic way to experience the beautiful surroundings.

Once you arrive, treat yourself to something tasty at the waterside eatery. The walk back to the campsite is a short and easy 1 km route. Still have energy left? Visit the mini-museum to get a taste of local history!
