  • Forested Tarn-et-Garonne site 15 minutes’ drive from Caussade
  • Le Petit-Paris half an hour’s drive; Gorges de l’Aveyron 15 minutes
  • Pool, table tennis and pétanque court; snack bar and launderette
A good spot for anyone looking to experience a taste of rural life, dog-friendly Lodges du Bois Dodo spreads across eight hectares of woodland on the outskirts of the village of Septfonds (five minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk), in the Tarn-et-Garonne region of southern France. The town of Caussade, with its medieval centre of half-timbered buildings and neo-Gothic cathedral, is about 15 minutes’ drive away. While the kids make new friends in the playground or at the ping-pong tables in the woods, the grown-ups can unwind by the side of the pool with a cold drink, embrace the French lifestyle on the pétanque court or head to the tree-shaded ‘dehors’ of the snack bar to peruse maps of the local area and plan the day’s excursions. Challenging hiking trails in the Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park (15 minutes) take you through a landscape of dense oak forests, tall rocky cliffs and underground caves. The area around Lalbenque (25 minutes) is known for its truffles, and you can learn all about this delicious fungus on guided walking or cycling tours. Meanwhile, extreme sports enthusiasts might like to check out the via ferrata climbing routes at Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val (15 minutes) or the white-water rafting at the Gorges de l’Aveyron (15 minutes), where less daring folk can have a go at canoeing and paddleboarding. In terms of amenities, the site is no slouch, with a toilet block (with facilities for the disabled), showers and a washing-up area, plus a launderette.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The lovely secluded, shaded pitches providing peace and quiet - cicadas excepted - and the feeling of isolation within the woodland.
Nice clean toilets and showers.
The pool was a godsend with temperatures in the 30s when we were there.
Best thing of all were the people who run this site. Welcoming, helpful and cheerful every time we saw them. Po

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Lovely big pitches in a beautiful woodland setting. It was very hot when we stayed so some shade was very welcome. We had a private bathroom on the pitch which was fantastic, we also bought into a fridge which given days of 40 degrees was very a real bonus. The owners were lovely and very helpful.
Lovely swimming pool. We stayed 16 nights and were sad to leave the peace and tranquility of the site.

Disliked Water was not very hot which was not a problem for showers in the heat but not so good for washing dishes. Given a woodland setting tree roots and some unevenness on the pitches.

Local attractions

At Parc Aventure Saint Antonin (20 minutes’ drive), the whole family can try their hand at arboreal manoeuvres. Young children start their treetop journey at human height, while daredevils can let rip on the Rando’tyro, which includes multiple ziplines. If you want more than that, there’s also a via ferrata and an exploration of the local cave systems. On the banks of the Aveyron, the medieval Bruniquel Castle (25 minutes) has far-reaching views of the river valley and the gorges. Events at the ruined Forteresse de Penne (also 25 minutes), dating from the 11th century, include workshops and reconstructions with costumed actors. No time to visit the French capital during your holiday in Tarn-et-Garonne? No problem: at Le Petit-Paris, Miniature (half an hour), you can wander among miniature Parisian boulevards and see a tiny Eiffel Tower (complete with glittering illuminations), alongside other iconic monuments like Notre Dame Cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe.
