Camping Le Pont du Tarn

Kick off your tour of the Lozère area by checking out the cultural and architectural riches of Florac, the market town that’s five minutes’ drive away and 545 metres above sea level. Four rivers meet at this place, making it a tiptop place for lazy ambles besides the water. Like your walks to be more of a challenge? Try scaling the 1,066-metre-high Mount Rochefort from here or drive to Les Bondons (20 minutes) and follow a 4.5-hour signposted trail across Mount Lozère’s striking south-western granite and limestone-covered slope. Other nature-rich spots to saunter around include the Gorges du Tarn, 35 minutes away, a canyon formed by the river cutting through the Causses limestone plateau. It's a distinctive landscape to explore in the car and on foot or – best of all – by bobbing about in a boat. And if you’re seeking more of an offbeat way to spend your time? Le Vallon du Villaret (55 minutes) fuses an adventure park with outdoor art gallery and hosts activities involving art, music and water in a stunning valley setting.
