Camping Les Calquières

Start your survey of the area with a saunter into Sévérac-le-Château: the medieval centre is made for wandering, and there are some cracking views from the castle (positioned at a haughty 817 metres to look down on its domain). Alfresco days in the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park can be as leisurely or as hair raising as you like… At the more chilled end of the spectrum, there are all sorts of walking trails to follow and the Tarn river is a top spot for trout fishing. To get your pulse up a bit, head to Les Vignes (25 minutes by car) for a whole heap of adventure activities including climbing, canyoning and rafting with expert guidance. A highlight of the natural park is the gorgeous Gorges du Tarn, half an hour away. Paddling a canoe or kayak is a popular way to take in the scenery, but you can also get face to face with the cliffs on a climbing trip or just amble along the footpaths.
