  • Peaceful site in Rennes-les-Bains, in the foothills of the Pyrenees
  • Gorges de Galamus 40 minutes’ drive; Carcassonne an hour
  • Pool, play area, restaurant and bar on site; dogs welcome
On the outskirts of the spa resort of Rennes-les-Bains, family-friendly Camping La Bernède sits in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in the Aude department of south-western France. A peaceful vibe reigns at this elevated site, which sits at 310 metres above sea level. But there's also plenty of action to be had in the vicinity (including some pretty extreme action if that's your style), starting with climbing at the Pic du Bugarach (25 minutes’ drive), in the Corbières Massif, and whitewater rafting at Gorges de la Pierre-Lys (35 minutes). Hiking trails lace the surrounding forested mountains, and site owner Christelle will be happy to suggest the one that’s just right for your abilities. If you’d rather do very little (it’s supposed to be a holiday, after all), that's fine – you can relax by the side of the outdoor pool with a cocktail, play a board game (available from reception) with the kids (when they're not hanging out with new pals in the play area…) or take a gentle stroll with your dog along the banks of the La Sals river. It’s a leisurely 10-minute walk to the centre of the village, where you can stock up on essentials at the store or stop for pizza in the tree-shaded square. Not in the mood for pizza? No problem – the site's restaurant (which operates during the summer months) serves traditional dishes and regional wines, as well as selling freshly baked baguettes and breakfast pastries. Other amenities on site include a toilet block with facilities for disabled guests, showers and a launderette.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Friendly welcome, clean facilities, small groups of pitches, quiet and secluded in September. Just 10 minutes along the road is a great vulture observation centre with free telescope. Watch them take to the thermals at about 10am each morning.

Local attractions

Created by the Agly river, the Gorges de Galamus (40 minutes’ drive) is a dramatic canyon with steep limestone sides. Find your way to the car park with a viewing deck (keeping your eyes peeled for golden eagles flying overhead), then continue on to the 14th-century Ermitage Saint-Antoine de Galamus, carved out of the rock. Here you'll be in the heart of the so-called Cathar Country, which in the Middle Ages was home to followers of a religious sect. They built abbeys and castles, including the fortresses at Puivert (40 minutes), Peyrepertuse (an hour) and Quéribus (an hour). If you want to learn more about Catharism, Puivert’s Musée du Quercorb is a great place to start. The town of Carcassonne (an hour), between the Aude and the Canal du Midi, is renowned for its medieval fortifications, punctuated by dozens of towers. The Cathédrale Saint-Michel, also resembling a fortress from the outside, has a Gothic interior, and there are collections of decorative objects at the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
