Le Pré Karvain

If walks are what you're after while staying at Le Pré Karvain, the region’s 400 kilometres of footpaths and bike trails mean you'll have more than a fair few to choose from. Not sure whether cycling's permitted in certain areas? Look out for the Accueil Vélo signs then pedal to some of the local lakes and rivers for wild swimming when you need to cool off. If you've a love for lazing, Montrichard's sandy river beach is less than half an hour by car from site and also has summer entertainment, a play area and a kids' riding school. Canoeing, fishing and rowing can all be embarked on around here as well, and if you're feeling really adventurous a hot-air ballooning company will take you high up in the sky within a 20-minute drive from the park.
