Camping de Thuriès

Alan Rogers Review of Camping de Thuriès

Camping les Terrasses du Viaur is next to the river Viaur just outside Pampelonne. The site rents out canoes for trips on the river, or you can take the opportunity for a swim. The riverbank is also a gorgeous spot to chill out for the day or to try your luck with some fishing. You don’t have to go far to explore the Viaur valley, a bunch of hiking trails leave directly from the site, and you can grab a map of the routes from reception on your way out to help with the navigating. The site puts on themed evenings, with a particular highlight being Monday night mussels and fries. Further afield, you could wander around the Cascade Pétrifiante waterfall or tour of the Grotte du Bosc cave, both are around an hour’s drive away. Brush up on some history with a visit to a couple of nearby museums. Don your hard hat at the coal mining museum Musée-mine départemental or get your creative juices flowing at the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec art museum both half an hour. For family days, Le Jardin des Bêtes amusement park and the insect adventure park Micropolis Cité des Insectes can both be reached in an hour. The site has 29 touring pitches, and five chalets or safari tents available to hire.
