  • Small-scale family-friendly farm site in the the Auvergne countryside
  • Surrounded by walks, 40 minutes’ drive from Montluçon and Moulins
  • Pony rides and mountain bike hire; magnesium pool and sports courts
Pretty much right in the centre of France, the Auvergne area is a place that people often pass through en route to other destinations – but it’s also a wonderful area for a break in its own right, with lots of gorgeous green hills and peaceful countryside to explore. Whether you’re in need of a stopover point while passing through or planning to spend your holiday in this lovely area, Camping La Charvière makes an excellent base for your break. This small-scale site is part of a family farm near the village of Saint-Priest-en-Murat, 40 minutes’ drive away from Montluçon and Moulins. It’s a handy spot for long cross-country journeys and also a great location for exploring places like Hérisson (half an hour’s drive away, on the river Aumance) and Forêt de Tronçais, 45 minutes’ drive away. Family-friendly this place absolutely is, with playground equipment, a small football pitch and badminton, volleyball and pétanque. There’s also an indoor play barn with activities like table football, ping pong and darts. Pony ride, anyone? The kids can sign up for pony rides directly on site. Young and old should also appreciate the magnesium pool that’s gentle on the skin and excellent for cooling off on those warmer days. When you’re ready to explore outside of the site, ease yourself into it with one of the walks directly from the site, or hire mountain bikes to pedal along local trails. Ask the team if you need any tips on places to go hiking or cycling, or villages to visit.

Local attractions

You’ll probably want to start with a bit of time spent exploring the local countryside – perhaps heading out on foot or bringing/hiring bikes for a cycle along the rural lanes. For more of that rural time you may like to drop in to meet the woolly residents of Les Lamas du Tilloux (15 minutes’ drive) or go wandering through the oak-filled woodland at Forêt de Tronçais (45 minutes). History is all around too, whether you fancy strolling around the medieval village of Hérisson (half an hour), touring Château de Chareil-Cintrat (half an hour) or learning about the area’s military past through the multimedia exhibits at Historial du paysan soldat (25 minutes). For a different take on the past, check out the vehicle collection at Musée Automobile de Bellenaves (half an hour). As for urban time, both Montluçon and Moulins are 40 minutes’ drive away. In the former you can visit the 12th-century castle and Museum of Popular Music; in the latter, the cathedral and Centre National du Costume de Scene.
