- A five-minute drive to shops, eats and drinks in Livinhac-le-Haut
Camping Le Roquelongue has a prime site alongside the Lot river, with thick green forests opposite and the hills of the Aveyron rising behind. Le Roquelongue owns 400 metres of the riverbanks, a bonus for fisherfolk, who can also hire a boat to go further. Canoes, kayaks and pedalos are on offer for more frivolous antics on the Lot.
It’s a top setup for families with a playground and paddling pool, swimming pool and activities like treasure hunts laid on in the summer months. When kids aren't out hunting, they can bounce on the trampoline and bouncy castle, pet the goats and donkeys in the little zoo and test their skills at table football, while grownups sit on the terrace of the bar sipping something and watch them at it. Daily bread deliveries and an on-site grocery take the stress out of stocking up, and snacks and ice creams are served at the bar.
It’s a five-minute drive or 20 minutes’ walk into Livinhac-le-Haut, a quiet riverside town with shops and a good spread of eateries: try local speciality the estofinado, a a fish pie made with dried cod and mash. It originated when bargemen brought catches inland, so legends have it, then Aveyronais chefs added walnut oil and cream to suit the appetites of local miners. It's surely filling...

Local attractions
Walkers can get their boots on right at the site, as the forest opposite is full of paths and the GR 25, the former pilgrim route from Switzerland to Spain, passes right by.
The mighty canyon at Bouzols (50 minutes' drive) makes for a classic combination of trails and splendid vistas; equally pleasing to the eye are perched villages like Belcastel (40 minutes) and Najac (an hour), medieval settlements of timbered houses and cobbled alleys clinging to the rocks.
After all that high altitude stuff, a subterranean tour of the caves at Foissac (40 minutes) make a fine contrast, for guided tours through weird rock formations and prehistoric remains. The museum at Montrosier (an hour and a half) tells you more, if you've caught the bug.
Everywhere you travel and of course back at the site, you'll see the significance of the Lot river. The Terra Olt museum at Saint Parthem (15 minutes) is devoted to the river and its human and natural history; top a visit off by heading to Flagnac (10 minutes) for a boat cruise.
