What to see and do in the Haute-Loire?<\/h2>
\n\t

300 volcanoes<\/strong> are listed in the south of Auvergne in Haute-Loire. Come and take a walk there and enjoy what there is to see and do. <\/p>\n

Just next to the camping Auvergne<\/a>, there is the superb camping Canopy<\/strong> in the forest with impressive zip lines. In the commune of Saint-Paulien you will find a go-kart, a paintball and an aquatic centre. <\/p>\n

We have spotted walks<\/strong> around the campsite, we will lend you maps and give you all the explanations to enjoy them. We also have hiking guides to lend. <\/p>\n

The castle of the Rochelambert<\/strong> has been leaning against its basalt cliff since the 11th century. A 10 minute walk from the entrance to the campsite, its visit will enchant you with its museum pieces and the beauty of its construction. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n

Castles in Haute-Loire<\/h2>
\n\t

Between the campsite and The Puy-en-Velay<\/a>, the fortress of Saint-Vidal offers to tell you stories of the great History of France. Along your wandering visit, you will have at least one surprise per room! A great show<\/strong> with costumed actors, animations playing the latest technologies…<\/p>\n

One or two evenings a week, in high season a show with 200 extras will make you relive a historical attack on the castle. Discounts for the users of the campsite will be offered.<\/p>\n

Also at 10 km from the campsite the fortress of Polignac<\/strong> proposes you to discover the Middle Ages. Built on a rocky promontory, protected by cliffs, it has often fought against invaders. We love its aspect of an isolated and fortified island out of modern times. <\/p>\n

Your children will love to explore and play the treasure hunt organised by the tourist office.<\/p>\n

Mundane notebook :<\/strong> it is a Polignac who, by marrying a Grimaldi, will have a son who will be Prince Rainier, father of Prince Albert, current sovereign of the Principality of Monaco. <\/p>\n

Near the campsite visit All\u00e8gre and his gallows<\/strong>. This is a unique stone frame for your panoramic photos of the Velay plateau and its volcanoes in Auvergne. Just opposite the village, the Mont Bar and its walk around the crater shows a peat bog and its precious flora. The easy hike of about 2 hours is punctuated with guessing boards for children.
\nThere are still many places with castles to visit. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Other visits in Haute-Loire<\/h2>
\n\t

We love the lake from Bouchet<\/strong> ! A perfect round surrounded by dense greenery. It is the perfect illustration of what a volcano lake is. Take your swimming costume, you can swim in it. <\/p>\n

On the way there, a stop at the Beaume waterfall is a must. Its elegant grey water curtain can be discovered after a short 20-minute walk. <\/p>\n

is famous for its music festival. All year round, guided tours take you to discover a place full of faith and stories that go back more than 1000 years. A pope is buried there, a fresco of macabre dance, 15th century tapestries, a cloister will be revealed to you. <\/p>\n

The Gorges of the Allier<\/strong> are truly beautiful and wild. We advise you to go down them by canoe or rafting. The gorges of the jeune Loire<\/strong> offer beautiful landscapes and some river swimming beaches. <\/p>\n

A little further on, the Mont M\u00e9zenc (pronounced [m\u00e9zin]) separates the Haute-Loire from the Ard\u00e8che. At 45 minutes from the campsite you can play summer tobogganing at Lugik parc or encounter a mountain landscape with an incredible view that stretches all the way to the Alps. Beautiful walks can be made on and around this peak. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
