Camping de Bourbon-Lancy

Local town Bourbon-Lancy is a good starting point for long days out and about by foot or bike, with many marked trails starting nearby including one through the town and one passing the lake at Breuil. Both these join up with other cycle routes around the Saône-et-Loire region, passing woodland, meadows, rivers and towns. Nearby routes include the spectacular EuroVelo 6 or The Rivers Route, running for over 3,000 kilometres through 10 countries along the Loire, Danube and part of the and upper Rhine, on its passage from France's Atlantic coast to the Black Sea. There's also the Tour de Bourgogne à vélo, along most of Burgundy's 1,000 or so kilometres of marked cycle paths, and the Loire à Vélo's 600 kilometres of path through six French departments: the Camping de Bourbon-Lancy team can point you and your wheels/ hiking boots in the right direction. From Bourbon-Lancy, it's about 25 minutes' drive to the amusement park and zoo of Le PAL, and half an hour to Moulins, the Auvergne town with a famed costume museum.
