Lacs in the Landes region, marshes in the Charentes region, gorges of the Gard river or banks of the Loire river: France is full of preserved places for a green break. Destinations, activities, accommodation: the perfect place to disconnect as a family or as a couple, away from the hustle and bustle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving without having to cross the planet, cutting off notifications and waking up with the sun rather than with the alarm: the formula of nature camping is quite simple. The network Slow Village<\/a> This has become his guiding principle. He has planted a dozen small, human-sized gardens at the edge of a lake, river or ocean, where slowness is claimed as an art of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Landes lakes to the gorges of the Gard, where to pitch your tent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the Atlantic side, the island of R\u00e9 remains a reliable destination. Around Saint-Martin-de-R\u00e9, whose fortifications built by Vauban are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cycling trails wind through vineyards, salt marshes and beaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further south, the Marennes-Ol\u00e9ron basin unfolds its clear oysters and flat horizons. As we head towards the Loire-Atlantique, Pornic and the coast of Jade play on the charm of the coves and the coastal path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Landes, Biscarrosse changes its scenery: large lakes surrounded by pines, a few kilometers from the ocean. A calmer water, appreciated with young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South offers more mineral-rich landscapes. In La Roque-sur-C\u00e8ze, a village perched on the Gard and classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, the C\u00e8ze snakes its way through the rocks of the Sautadet waterfalls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anduze, the gateway to the C\u00e9vennes, opens onto valleys that are hemmed in by steep slopes. In the Dordogne, Saint-Cybranet is nestled in the C\u00e9ou valley, in the heart of the Black P\u00e9rigord. Fans of river landscapes will finally find the Loire and its islands at Ponts-de-C\u00e9, at the gates of Angers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking, paddle boarding and binoculars: what to do on site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hiking remains the best way to explore a territory. Coastal trails, forest paths, and C\u00e9vennes peaks can also be explored by bike or even horseback. On a body of water, canoeing and stand-up paddle allow you to discover the banks from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s better to slip a pair of binoculars into your bag. On the island of R\u00e9, the Lilleau des Niges nature reserve welcomes thousands of migratory birds every year. Compared to Ol\u00e9ron, that of Mo\u00ebze-Ol\u00e9ron is a major stopover for the little terns. On the Loire, the sandbanks shelter colonies of terns in summer. The golden rule: leave early, stay discreet and keep your distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On site, the campsites offer a variety of friendly activities, from p\u00e9tanque to m\u00f6lkky and yoga or orienteering games. But a green holiday is also about doing nothing: a book by the water, a nap in the shade, a final swim when the sun is setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tent, cabin or tiny house: where to sleep in peace?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purists will choose the classic location for a tent, caravan or camper van, with or without electricity. Comfort is limited to shared sanitary facilities, but the immersion is total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who want to get away without giving up a real bed, there is glamping, a contraction of \u00abglamour\u00bb and \u00abcamping\u00bb. Cottage, wooden lodge, platform cabin or tiny house: these unusual accommodations feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette and heating or air conditioning. Couples can find a second home here, while children can enjoy an adventure playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last advice: May, June and September often offer more tranquility than the heart of summer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
