  • Quiet family site 10 minutes’ walk from Saint-Jean-du-Bruel in Aveyron
  • Gorges du Tarn, Millau Viaduct and the Cévennes half an hour’s drive
  • Tree-shaded pitches with direct access to the River Dourbie
Found just outside the pretty Aveyron village of Saint-Jean-du-Bruel at an altitude of 520 metres, family-friendly Camping La Claparède sits under a canopy of trees on the banks of the River Dourbie. It makes a peaceful base for hiking in the Cévennes National Park, rafting the Gorges du Tarn and marvelling at the stunning architecture of the Millau Viaduct – they’re all about half an hour’s drive away. However, should you prefer to abandon the car, there’s plenty to keep you occupied on site. There’s a playground, ping-ping tables and pétanque court, while you can go fishing for trout, wild swimming and kayaking on the river. More extreme sports like spelunking and paragliding can also be organised from the site. There’s a bar/café to keep the wolf at bay, and a communal barbecue is available for creating alfresco meals. You can also walk to Saint-Jean-du-Bruel in about 10 minutes; the village has a couple of shops, a brasserie and pharmacy. The roster of site facilities also includes accessible showers and washing-up sinks. It’s nice and easy to reach too, being about 25 minutes’ drive east of the A75 autoroute.

Local attractions

You’re in something of a haven for outdoor pursuits at Camping La Claparède. A multitude of hiking and cycling trails start from the site, and you can explore the spectacularly untamed Aveyron region on horseback (half an hour’s drive) or on donkey treks (40 minutes). As well as lots of wild swimming spots, the Gorges du Tarn (half an hour) also offers up an incredible array of whitewater sports like canoeing, kayaking and rafting. Little beats seeing the valleys and jagged rock formations of the Cévennes National Park (half an hour) from above; aerial sports available locally include paragliding, hang gliding and gliding from Airzone Paragliding (40 minutes). If conditions are right, you can zoom over the Cirque de Navacelles canyon (50 minutes) and the soaring Millau Viaduct (half an hour) too. Turning to matters cultural, you can visit the Caves de Roquefort Société (45 minutes) to see the famed blue cheeses being matured, or take in displays on traditional Aveyron farming methods and lifestyles at the quirky Ferme Caussenarde d’Autrefois.
