Domaine La Chabanne
General information
Joie de vivre among green hills and peace
Want to experience the French joie de vivre, but without the crowds and mass tourism? At this small-scale and charmingly designed campsite in the heart of the Auvergne, you'll completely unwind. Camping La Chabanne is all about typical French charm. On one hand, you enjoy luxury, and on the other, you're surrounded by stunning nature. There’s a beautifully designed swimming pool that can be covered in bad weather. At the campsite restaurant, you’ll often enjoy tasty barbecue evenings, and for the little ones, there’s a fun playground where they’ll quickly make new holiday friends.
Splashing fun and playtime
When the sun is out, the pool is the place to be. With a view of the charming Châtel-Montagne, you can take a refreshing dip or read a book on a lounger. Raining? No worries – the cover comes on, and swimming continues. Kids will love the playground next to the pool, as well as the ping pong table and pétanque court. Meanwhile, you can enjoy a drink on the terrace, keeping an eye on the playing children in total peace.
Local delights
Your day starts here with the smell of freshly baked bread. Don’t feel like cooking? Let yourself be surprised by the cozy barbecue evenings or take a seat at the inviting campsite restaurant. And don’t forget to explore the nearby villages – cheese, bread, and wine just taste better when bought from local shops or a charming market. Try regional specialties like truffade or aligot, served with a glass of local wine. Dining here is truly an experience.
Volcanoes and hidden gems
The rolling hills of the Auvergne are still untouched by mass tourism. That means you can fully enjoy your holiday in peace and really connect with the locals. The Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne is the largest regional park in Europe, filled with dormant volcanoes. The area around Domaine La Chabanne, the Montagne Bourbonnaise, offers plenty of opportunities for active travelers. There are endless cycling and hiking trails, climbing rocks, and challenging mountain biking routes.
The nearby villages are hidden gems, each with old church towers and picturesque streets. Don’t miss the beautiful Romanesque church in the village of Châtel-Montagne (7 km). In the nearby wine region of La Côte Roannaise, Saint-Haon-le-Vieux, Le Crozet, and Renaison are absolute must-sees. For a day of art, culture, or shopping, head to Vichy (30 km).
