Campsite Des Grottes
Camping Des Grottes is located in the middle of the imposing mountains of the French Pyrenees. The camp site overlooks one of the Pyrenees' most important sights: the Niaux caves with prehistoric wall paintings, a world famous archaeological monument. The medieval castle of Foix is also close to the camp site. A tranquil mountain stream babbles through the valley right past this natural camp site. The grounds match perfectly the image that most campers - quite rightly- have of the Pyrenees: genuine, basic but pure nature and above all, full of character.
There is a swimming pool on the camp site with a separate shallow pool for small children and two lovely water slides. For a real treat visit the go-cart track at Aigues-Vives, whilst several professional organisations will instruct you during a day of canyoning, rock climbing, rafting or potholing (exciting guided tours trough grottos and crevices). You can also go mountain biking or paddle your canoe in a relaxing way, or simply enjoy the beautiful views of the distant sun.
The city state of Andorra is just 55 km from the camp site, a lovely place for a day out or for bargain shopping thanks to Andorra's generous tax environment. Keep on going and you are in Spain.
