Activities
Maps and guidebooks on local walking routes are found on the bookshelves at the campsite. This is real walkers' country and there are suitable footpaths for all levels. Swim in the river a short 10-minute drive away at Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. Those too chicken to go in the wilds of the river water can use the outdoor pool there instead, complete with with dramatic views of the Gorge de Ayeyron. Canoes are also available to hire along the waterside in town, or follow the river's course from St Antonin past the ancient chateaux of Penne and Briuniquel by car, stopping along the way to swim on the natural river beaches.
Food & Drink
If you fancy whipping up a storm in the campsite kitchen (cupboard basics are supplied), head to Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val where there's a thriving local market on Sunday's – ideal for the freshest goods. The town also has two wonderful bakeries well stocked with French fancies, croissants and traditional breads, plus two good small supermarkets (open every day) for anything else. In terms of restaurants and cafés, Café De La Halle is the best for ice-cream, cold drinks and people watching in town. It's also great for those with children, as they can run about in the covered market nearby whilst you sit and laze with a drink. Go in the evening (after 7pm) for pizza. Le Festin De Babette (05 63 31 69 03), meanwhile, is the top spot for gourmet cooking. Ask for a table on their terrace and enjoy the view of town across the river.
