Despite our rural location off the main tourist track, there are many interesting places to visit within an easy drive of the camp site. A selection of these appear below.

A few memories of 2008.....spot anyone you recognise??

Just a 10 minute walk from the camp site takes you into the centre of Airvault, with its covered market, underground spring, quaint streets and half timbered houses. The 12th century Eglise Abbatiale St Pierre, a gem of Romanesque architecture, is well worth a visit, as is the museum housed in the medieval abbey.

From May to October we run a series of events, from French courses and walking holidays, to quiz nights, wine tastings, boules tournaments and speciality food evenings - to name but a few! Friday nights are barbecue nights, where you bring along your own meat to cook, but we do the rest...including frites, puds, wine and in-promptu entertainment! It's a great social evening! Throughout May & June and again in September, we organise escorted walks from the camp site, stopping off for a Plat de Jour at a local village.

Meet the Staff!

The Thouet River lies approx 300 metres from the site and is a haven for both wildlife and fishermen. There is a 3/4 kilometre stretch of water with pontoons for the disabled, where it is possible to fish for pike, perch, zander, roach, bream, black bass, minnow, carp and trout, to name but a few. There are also wonderful walks along the river banks, thorough woodland and meadows, where you will find a diverse variety of wild flowers and butterflies.
