Camping Les Rives du Loup

Outdoorsy sorts have tons of ways to get out and about around here. Practise your paddling in the river next to the site, or head to the Gorges du Loup, six kilometres from base, for hiking, climbing and canyoning. Also little further afield (but not too far) are Riviera Nature tree-climbing and adventure park and guided tours around the spectacular chambers of Saint-Cezaire Cave. Meanwhile, in the city of Grasse – the perfume capital of the world – are museums galore, plus gardens and an old town too. For a mix of museum-based sightseeing and beachside days, head to Cagnes-sur-Mer to wander the exhibits of the Renoir museum and the ethnographic museum of the olive tree and the museum of modern Mediterranean art at Château Grimaldi, and round off the day with a sandals-off stroll along the sand. More historic architecture and museum exhibits can be found over in Nice (the Matisse museum is well worth a trip to), while Marineland aquarium, the Picasso museum and the botanical gardens all await over in Antibes.
