General
- Dog-friendly wildlife and birdwatching haven in the Dombes region
- A 15-minute walk from a bird park and a 40-minute drive from Lyon
- On-site restaurant and bar; outdoor pool, playground and entertainment
From freshwater fishing to spotting pelicans, storks and macaws in the local bird park… a 40-minute drive from Lyon, Camping Le Nid du Parc is well situated for fans of fishing and beady-eyed birdwatchers. It's 15 minutes’ walk away from the Bird Park Villars les Dombes and surrounded by the so-called ‘land of a thousand ponds’ in the Dombes region in Ain.
Hire out a bicycle or stretch your legs around the surrounding ponds; once you’re done, there are plenty of spots to put up your feet around the site. Perhaps you might wind up in the on-site bar or restaurant… or if you’re still brimming with energy, there’s an outdoor swimming pool on-hand for a few laps.
Got the whole family gathered together for the getaway? Well, kids will have plenty to get stuck into, as there’s a playground with slides and climbing frames, and the site runs entertainment for both the young and old.
Once you’ve had your fill of the activities on site, it’s a 10-minute walk into the centre of Villars-les-Dombes. This little village has its own sights, including an 11th-century Romanesque church, plenty of ponds and wildlife in the form of ducks, raptors, herons and frogs.
From here, those on foot can follow the Pierre Poivre footpath and those on a bicycle can career onto the Route des Etangs to see the rest of the region (perhaps go on horseback, if you want to feel like you’re really conquering the land).

If you’re looking to get to grips with the history of the Dombes region, Ars-sur-Formans (20 minutes' drive) is a good place to start. This is a place of pilgrimage, once home to Saint Curé d’Ars and now the site of the grand Sanctuary of Ars (Basilica of Ars).
For more historical outings, Ambérieux-en-Dombes (10 minutes) has a 14th-century castle, while in Pérouges (15 minutes), the ancient fortified town is best explored by its alleyways, maze or through the taste of its sugar pies.
While away the time with some wine tasting, too… if you fancy yourself somewhat of a wine critic, the Val de Saône region has the vast wine-growing landscape of Beaujolais (35 minutes). Dip down into its wine cellars, then visit stone villages such as Trévoux (25 minutes) or try out the farm food specialities of Bresse (20 minutes).
Worth the extra miles, foodies may also want to pay a visit to Bugey (an hour and 10 minutes) for its food, history and wines. Perhaps pair it with a trip to Lyon (35 minutes). The city has old districts, the slopes of the Croix-Rousse silk neighbourhood, plus a cathedral and museums.
