With its petanque court, multi-sports fields, beach volleyball and sand soccer pitches, outdoor fitness area, weight room and animal farm, there’s something to keep all generations busy. Children love to visit the donkeys, goats and chickens, while adults enjoy the sports facilities. And at the end of the day, the whole tribe can gather around a good meal at the restaurantwhich offers both regional dishes and simple snacks at the snack bar.
Finally, for the more inquisitive and active, the region offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Close to the campsite, you can try your hand at canoeing, hiking in the Drôme hills, fishing in the streams or even discover canyoning, via ferrata or paragliding for the more adventurous. And for a more leisurely day out, golf is another great option. Here, everything comes together to make each day unique, with leisure activities, discoveries and the pleasure of being together.
