Camping Le Clos de la Lère

To the gorges… Camping Le Clos de la Lère is 15 minutes from the vast Aveyron Gorges, for days rambling, wildlife watching, climbing, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, pot holing and hang gliding… or you could just ramble around its spectacular landscapes, medieval villages and highlights like Montricoux with the Marcel-Lenoir Museum and St Antonin Noble Val with the Grotte du Bosc. Also 15 minutes away is the commune of Saint Antonin Noble Val, a medieval village with twelfth century buildings around its Place de la Halle, a medieval market hall, and the oldest building in France in is town hall. It's a beaut and a must: go see. Another must is nearby Cordes sur Ciel, the well-preserved medieval village on a hill surrounded by the countryside of the Midi-Pyrénées and with timber-framed buildings, steep cobbled streets (wear sensible shoes, s'il vous plait), thirteenth and fourteenth century houses, medieval gateways and a good cluster of artisan shops. An equestrian centre and the ParcAventure theme park are also a short distance away.
