4-Star Campsite in the South of France, in the C\u00e9vennes: by the River, with a Heated Pool<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Le Vigan, at the crossroads of worlds. That is the best way to describe this place. In the South of France, in the west of the Gard, on the southern slopes of the Aigoual massif (1,567 m), Camping Le Val de l’Arre<\/a> welcomes you where the Causses, the C\u00e9vennes and the Mediterranean meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At the Heart of the Millau \u2013 N\u00eemes \u2013 Montpellier Triangle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the campsite, everything is about an hour’s drive away: Millau and its extraordinary viaduct to the west, N\u00eemes, the Roman city, to the east, and Montpellier, city of ancient and modern medicine, to the south. Around us, the Gard, H\u00e9rault, Aveyron and Loz\u00e8re meet. And when you long for the sea, the Mediterranean beaches are about 1 hour 15 minutes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quieter than the Ard\u00e8che<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you love rivers, gorges and unspoilt nature, as in the Ard\u00e8che, but would rather avoid mass tourism? Then you have come to the right place. Here you will find the same kind of holiday \u2013 river swimming, canoeing, gorge hikes, cave visits \u2013 in a peaceful, green setting where you can truly unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Crossroads of Rocks: Limestone, Granite and Schist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Few places bring three mineral worlds together. Here, the limestone of the Causses, vast plateaus cut by gorges, meets the granite of the Aigoual massif, home of the C\u00e9vennes sweet onion, and the schist of the C\u00e9vennes valleys, with their terraces and stone farmhouses. Three landscapes, three kinds of light, just a few kilometres apart.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n

A Crossroads of Rivers: the Arre, the H\u00e9rault and the Vis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Arre flows alongside the campsite: in summer, people swim, play and fish with nets in it. Further down, it joins the H\u00e9rault river, which rises on Mont Aigoual. The Vis carved out the Cirque de Navacelles and shaped magnificent canyons before flowing into the H\u00e9rault in turn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n

At the campsite, you enjoy both pleasures of the water: river swimming and our heated pool<\/a>, on grounds shaded by many tree species: plane trees, maples, catalpas, sophoras, ginkgo biloba, tulip trees and flowering cherries\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Causses and C\u00e9vennes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2011, the Causses and the C\u00e9vennes have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their landscapes shaped by centuries of agro-pastoralism: drove roads, sheepfolds, dry-stone walls and hilltop villages. The campsite lies at the heart of this area, on the edge of the C\u00e9vennes National Park, and holds the Esprit parc national label<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n

A Land of History, Now a Haven of Peace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The C\u00e9vennes were shaped by the history of Protestantism and the Reformation, and by the Camisard war, in which people of the same country, sometimes of the same blood, fought each other in the name of religion. From this turbulent past, a peaceful, quiet world was born, far from the hustle and bustle. Over time, paths were created: for walking, for running, for strolling through the forest.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
