Camping des Drouilhèdes

How might a leisurely stroll around a château fit with your slow-holiday plans? There are plenty of options around – perhaps you’d like to walk on the ramparts of Château de Montalet (20 minutes’ drive), climb a hill to Château le Cheylard d'Aujac (25 minutes) or see the ruins of Château de Banne (half an hour) before a wander around the village of the same name. Stepping a little further back in time, there are prehistoric relics at Dolmen Table de Turcs (45 minutes) and all sorts of interactive dino-themed activities to get stuck into at Dinopedia Parc (35 minutes). And of course the natural landscape is quite a draw too, whether you head out for a hike in the Cévennes National Park or delve below the surface to explore the area’s caves – Aven d’Orgnac (45 minutes) is the most famous, but Grotte de la Cocalière (25 minutes) and Grotte de la Salamandre (45 minutes) are also well worth a visit.
