Discover the wonders of nature

Accueil » Welcome to our campsite » Discover nature

Take advantage of your holidays to relax, recharge your batteries and take the time to discover the beautiful nature that surrounds you. At Camping La Grande Veyière, you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy this beauty! So, whether you are a keen observer or a novice, enjoy looking around and observing the fauna and flora.

Our campsite is located on the edge of the Bessède Forest, a large forest of 7600 ha which is classified as a ZNIEFF (Zone of Ecological, Floristic and Faunistic Interest). Since 2013, we have been an LPO shelter (League for the Protection of Birds). At our place, nature is preserved and omnipresent. You don’t have to be an expert to appreciate it.

Nature for all

During the year, everyone has super busy days and we keep on the run. Between work, shopping, children’s school, visiting Grandma and the gym, time goes by too quickly and we often don’t stop to marvel at all the beautiful things nature has to offer.

During your stay at Camping La Grande Veyière, we suggest you stop, look around and listen to the birds sing. When you return home, you will be more attentive to the natural wonders that surround you. In the city or in the countryside, all you have to do is keep an eye open!

Whether you are an amateur or an experienced photographer, you will love capturing all this beauty in images. Admire what others have seen before you!

Let yourself be amazed!

Here are some examples of small discoveries of nature that you can experience in our campsite:

  • Lizards run along the walls and amaze young and old who, coming from more northern regions, know little or nothing about these small reptiles.
  • Roe deer pass “with their families” along our fence, even in the middle of the tourist season.
  • A hedgehog sometimes slips in at night under a tent canvas and feasts on the dog’s food left on the ground, scaring the half-asleep camper with his commotion.
  • Bats animate the evenings on the terrace with their aerobatics and choose the room on the first floor as a summer residence before moving because of the noise of the neighbourhood…
  • A “sonar” sound prevents you from falling asleep at night? It is not an electronic game or a mobile phone, but probably a midwife toad. Don’t worry, you can sleep peacefully!
  • Young squirrels play hide and seek around tree trunks under the amazed eyes of campers.

Nature discovery walk

Discover nature on the campsite with your family. We have prepared a +/- 1km course to do at your own pace and when you want. With the help of 50 short stories, classified into 10 themes and to be read with your children, you will discover the fauna and flora of the campsite. The location of each theme has been carefully chosen to allow you to discover the topics covered in the field.
