Ideally located between Rodez and Millau in the heart of Aveyron
Can you hear it? Maybe it's the cicadas... or the children rushing toward Lake Pareloup (we didn't check, but they're everywhere). Welcome to Camping Soleil Levant in Canet-de-Salars, in the heart of Aveyron. Just 30 minutes from Rodez, you'll set down your suitcases in a corner of paradise, with 11 hectares of greenery and direct access to the lake for swimming, paddleboarding, fishing, or trying out bomb competitions (watch out, uncle, we saw your dive).
Around? Rodez and its cathedral (it's impressive), typical villages like Salles-Curan, and farmers' markets where you can taste Roquefort cheese (prepare to be delighted). Here, you choose: hiking, mountain biking, a nap, or a relaxing moment (because, let's face it, naps are sacred). And once the kids are in bed (finally!), you head outside for a drink overlooking the lake. A dream come true.
Camping Soleil Levant is all about nature, fun, and relaxation, to be enjoyed without moderation (if you really want to, of course).
