This is the original vision of our grandparents in 1964: to offer a haven of peace where nature is not a backdrop, but the center of the experience.
For us, 'slow tourism' is the art of taking time. It's choosing to disconnect from daily stress to reconnect with nature and loved ones. This translates into a quiet campsite, without noisy entertainment, where the rhythm is set by the sun and birdsong. It's preferring a walk in the Céou valley, a nap in the shade of an oak tree, or tasting local products from our markets. Discover our complete approach to slow tourism.
This philosophy is not a trend for us, it's the lifestyle that our family cultivates and shares in this place for nearly 60 years.
The difference is our philosophy. While campsite clubs focus on a large volume of entertainment and imposing facilities, we prioritize an authentic experience, family-friendly and human-scale. With us, no giant slides or noisy evenings, but the freshness of a river, the peace of nature, spacious pitches and a friendly atmosphere where we take the time to get to know each other. We are the ideal choice for those looking to recharge away from mass tourism.
Our choice to remain a human-scale campsite is a deliberate decision, faithful to the spirit of conviviality and authenticity established by our elders.
