Nestled in the hollow of the Luech river, the campsite is located on the outskirts of the village of Peyremale, which has retained all the cachet of a picturesque, typically Cévennes promontory. In this place of nature you will find remains of the old water mill which now hosts the reception. The landscape is marked by the rich historical past of the Cévennes with its agricultural terraces. The camp is located on a large meadow, at the time fitted out for the exploitation of coal but which has never been used, linked to the end of the mining period. Before welcoming you, this meadow was used for grazing sheep!!! Looking forward to welcoming you for a sunny summer!!

3 nights at Pyrénées Emotions

The site and view and facilities were very good indeed. We dined at the bar, only one choice but it was very good. Quiet and lovely. Only a few patrons and just marvellous. Disappointed at how expensive the Hipcamp administration fee was. And this is justified by some million dollar indemnity allowance. No idea how that would apply!
