Camping au Tour de l'Aveyron

For feats of daring, you won’t have to go far from Camping au Tour de l’Aveyron – less than five minutes’ drive from site, board the plane for a parachute jump over the Larzac countryside, or go paragliding or canyoning in the Cévennes National Park 20 minutes away. At the Gorges du Tarn, take to the river for whitewater rafting or simply take in the spectacular scenery from a kayak or bike. If you prefer a more sedate experience, there’s plenty to keep you safe on solid ground: travel to Creissels for a boat trip under the impressive Millau Viaduct, pedal along the Larzac vélorail route through the Cernon valley, taste the blue cheeses at the Roquefort cellars, or make your way to the secluded but stunning Cirque de Navacelles. History buffs are well-served around here – start with the museum in L’Hospitalet-du-Larzac, follow the trail between the five fortified sites of the Knights Templar and Hospitaller, or head to the scenic Saint-Guilhelm-le-Désert for the UNESCO-listed abbey and the Clamousse caves. Kids driven to distraction? Distract them in a good way with the bugs at Micropolis, or the lizards at Larzac Reptilarium, both within half an hour of Au Tour de l’Aveyron.
