Check out the farmers market - ask in reception for details when you get there.

Wow!! cant wait, Claire

You must have taken the picture of Cantobre from near where the beavers play

happy memories

We have been to this campsite 8 or 9 times for two or three weeks at a time and still love it just as much and have still not been everywhere in the area. If you are only staying for a couple of days I recommend taking a trip to the radio mast you can see it from the campsite. Take the road towards Nant then the winding road towards la Cavalerie at the top of the hill there is a rough road  directly on the right you can drive along this or drive so far then walk. The view from the mast is breathtaking you can see the whole of the area but dont forget to take your binoculars

If they still have wild life courier for Eurocamp/Canvas Holidays see if they'll let you join in some of the trips. we went to dawn trip..worth getting up for and with them to see vultures.Walk along the river to Nant and back, not too far.

You used to be able to order bread night before and they deliver it to tent the next morning! Longish walk to loos etc and need torch! Cantobre village wonderful, saw wild dormice like animals but with long tails(have special name) hiding in crannies of old buildings.

You'll love it!

The patisserie in the village in Nant (walk up past the 'cloisters' where the cafe/bars are, and it's around the corner on the left) is worth a visit in the morning for the delicious quiches and tarts.

If you're there when there's a night market on in Millau do make an effort to attend - lots of regional foods, samples, and you can buy a plate of what you like and sit at a communal table with a plastic glass of wine, and enjoy the atmosphere.  Drive back through La Cavalerie at dusk and you might (as we did - yes it was my posting previously) see a wild boar on the way home (first time in 26 years of french travel - previously only see dead ones after a hunt).

Just a message to your cool-dude teens - there's lots of 'teen' activities arranged from the site - white water rafting, canyoning, climbing, caving, bungee jumping, abseiling, and paragliding - and whenever we've been there are always lots of other teenagers.  It's one of the few sites that our teenage boys didn't mind going back to.
