Our Region

The Cantal is the most southern 'département' of the region Auvergne, and our campsite is situated in the most southern part of it, just in the corner between the provinces  of the Lot and the Aveyron.  This small part of France has a gentle micro-climate: hence the nickname of "Nice du Cantal" at the entrance of Maurs. The region east of the village of Maurs is called "La Châtaigneraie", due to the many chestnut trees planted in this area.

A taste of what's happening in "La Châtaigneraie" is available on the official tourist office site La Châtaigneraie.

The landscape is volcanic and this shows itself in a beautifully hilly and sometimes mountainous landscape with green valleys and rippling brooks, offering you an intensive kind of stillness. Every curve of the road shows you a new panorama, taking you back to a much earlier, gentle time. For our guests we have a range of car tours and numerous walking tours available. These will lead you through this beautiful region, thankfully not yet discovered by mass-tourism.

For a daytrip in the surrounding area there are numerous opportunities, such as:
