Located near the Pyrenees, and more specifically the Canigou and Corbières mountain ranges, our Pyrenees campsite offers a wide variety of activities for the whole family, between the sea and the mountains.
Hiking in the Canigo massif
The Canigou massif, a sacred mountain for Catalans, has been classified as a Grand Site de France since 2012. The peak of the same name rises to an altitude of 2,784 meters. It is a symbol of Catalan culture and even a true place of pilgrimage. Climbing it is a rite of passage for all the inhabitants of the region.
Every summer, many tourists explore the mountain range's hiking trails, whether on foot, by mountain bike, on horseback, or with the help of donkeys. The donkeys can carry bags or even children. Make the most of your stay at our campsite near the Pyrenees to discover the beautiful walks that await you. There is something for all tastes and all levels. However, climbing the Pic du Canigou requires an intermediate level of fitness and good preparation. In addition, you need to pay attention to the weather, which can be changeable, with thunderstorms in particular.
A dive into the history of the Pyrénées-Orientales
The Age of Enlightenment and Vauban's fortifications
Make the most of your stay at our Pyrenees campsite to admire Vauban's military architecture, particularly the remarkably well-preserved fortified villages of Villefranche-de-Conflent and Mont-Louis, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Don't miss:
- The ramparts and bastions of Villefranche-de-Conflent
- Fort Liberia in Villefranche-de-Conflent
- The stronghold of Mont-Louis, which rises to 1,600 m, making it the highest fortified town in France!
The Middle Ages and Cathar Country
Less than an hour's drive from our campsite in the Pyrenees, you can visit the Château de Quéribus, a remarkably well-preserved and renovated Cathar monument. It is also listed as a Historic Monument. Perched on a rocky outcrop, it overlooks the Roussillon plain. Other monuments are also worth a visit. To see them, follow the Cathar Country castle tourist route.
A vacation at our campsite near the Pyrenees is a guarantee of family fun, magnificent landscapes, and exceptionally well-preserved historical monuments.
Prehistory with the Tautavel Man
The Tautavel Prehistory Museum is a great idea for a family outing near Perpignan and Canet-en-Roussillon. You can learn more about this prehistoric man through numerous activities, exhibition galleries, and even a reconstruction of the Caune de l'Arago site, where the Tautavel man lived.
