Camping Le Couspeau

The Drôme, the Provence, mountains, villages, family days out, hiking, biking, watersports and a whole heap of French heritage are the options around Camping Le Couspeau – and we haven't even mentioned the snapshotting opps of the local lavender fields and olive groves. After a day or two in the pool or lazing around soaking up the mountain scenery, go along to investigate the restored castle, fortress and cobbled streets of the campsite's local village of Le Poët-Célard, a historical place of refuge for persecuted Huguenots during local religious wars. Four miles to the village's south is the Canton capital of Bourdeaux, another old village with the ruins of two medieval castles, and within easy driving distance are more aged places at Mornans and Truinas. Hiking and archery are both popular at the nearby village of Roubion. Among the many other nearby options are the local crocodile farm with over 400 crocs as well as giant tortoises and brightly plumaged birds; and indulging one's sweet tooth in the city of Montélimar, so famed for its nougat that the Beatles penned lines about it. Watersports like canoeing, kayaking and swimming can all be plunged into nearby.
