Camping Saint-Louis

One could easily stay around the site for lazy days lakeside, kayaking, fishing or just lounging on the banks – but drives around the surrounding countryside will take you to some stellar spots without having to go too far. Have a look first at the village of Nérac 14 kilometres away, to see its half-timbered buildings, Church of Notre Dame, Chateau Henry IV and the eighteenth century church of Saint-Nicholas, before a wander around the Parc de la Garenne or a lazy boat trip on the Baïse. You'll likely also like the town of Condom, once an essential stopover on a pilgrimage path to Santiago de Compostela and home to a medieval Old Town, the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, Château de Mothes and Château de Pouypardin; one should raise a salute to the statue of D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers too. The greenly good Jardins de Coursiana or Arboretum Coursiana botanical gardens of La Romieu ten kilometres away also come recommended in the region, while a drive 20km from base will take you to the museums, art galleries and medieval buildings of excellent old Agen.
