Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Great location for cycling. Many of the beautiful villages of France around. Nice swimming pool.

Disliked: Being kept awake until 1.30am with mindless rave music blasting out. This was something the camp had put on starting at 9.30pm Our neighbour's who had 2 small children couldn't get them to sleep. Never had this on any sites we have stayed at in France, music has always stopped at 11pm.

Local attractions

There's so much to see around this part of the Lot… first up should be a day at local town Carennac, listed as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Its old streets are lined with 16th and 17th-century houses in the local white-yellow stone, and its 16th-century castle the Château de Doyen has an exhibition on the town's history. Close by is a very famed and popular French holiday destination in the small but spectacular cliffside village of Rocamadour, a place of pilgrimage for centuries. It's one of the most visited places in France (around a million souls every year), but is a must-see if you're in the region; try going early or out of season to escape its busiest times. Also nearby is the Padirac Chasm or Gouffre de Padirac, a 99-metre chasm and the most visited cave in France. It's also a must, particularly taking the underground boat past its caverns and lake. Other towns in the area – also highly recommended – are the red sandstone village of Collonges-la-Rouge, the medieval towns of Sarlat and Gramat with their famed architecture and weekly markets, and the town of Bretenoux and its 13th-century Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux.
