Camping Le Dolium

This part of the world might be overflowing with historic sites, but there’s plenty else nearby for those who don’t live and breathe history. You can’t go wrong with a spot of fishing if you’re in search of a peaceful afternoon or two, so bring along your rod and reel and cast a line in the La Tave river on site at Camping Le Dolium. If you’re of a more active persuasion, paddle over to the Gardon river, where you can clamber into a canoe or kayak, or follow one of the hikes that brings you through vineyards and villages along the gorge. None of this floating your boat? Potter over to Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie to have a poke around the 20 pottery workshops, or tiptoe carefully through La Ferme aux Crocodiles reptile farm so as not to upset any of the inhabitants... Tipplers are also well served in the area around Le Dolium: to call this wine country might even be an understatement. Get a designated driver on side and head for tours and tastings at Laudun Chusclan, Domaine Pélaquié and Domaine des Maravilhas, all around 10 minutes away, or pop your cork on the dozens of other wineries within 30 minutes of the site.
