Camping Le Vialaret

There’s a handful of attractions to busy yourself with if you decide on days out and about. The mighty Millau Viaduct (25 minutes) is one epic place to visit – the world’s tallest bridge at 270 metres high, it stretches across the Tarn gorge. While you’re in the area, take off on walks with views over the vast valley below, then bounce between the Larzac Templar and Hospitallers’ five fortified sites. La Cavalerie (15 minutes' drive), La Couvertoirade (15 minutes), Sainte-Eulalie de Cernon (25 minutes), Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux (half an hour) and Saint-Jean-et-Saint-Paul (45 minutes) are spread across the lush landscape and have 15th-century walls to wander, remnants of Knights Templar churches to check out and Romanesque buildings to roam around. Happy to head further on? Swing by the Sylvanès abbey (an hour) for a gander at this 12th-century building set amid woodland before freshening yourself with a dip at the Lac de Pareloup (an hour and 10 minutes), a lovely lake dotted with beaches.
