A perfect campsite to disconnect from the world. The whole team is very welcoming and friendly (not forgetting Balou). The campsite offers a true immersion in the Pyrenees with its surrounding lakes and mountains. Activities like canoeing, accessible to all levels, perfectly complement your stay.
A fantastic welcome, warm and attentive, with great advice for sightseeing. The 9km canoe trip was amazing...we were the only ones on the river! We'll be back.
We rented a pitch in April for a competition just a short walk from the campsite and we were completely satisfied. The warm welcome, the location, the cleanliness – everything was perfect for a wonderful weekend. Photos of our pitch with a view of the Ariège River – what more could you ask for? :-)
Fantastic!! The team was incredibly attentive, from the welcome desk to the boat pick-up and even the return shuttle. The whitewater course was excellent, a 2-hour trip on the Ariège River with a few thrills and swimming stops in the lake. Thank you, Ariège Évasion!
The river is magnificent. It's quite choppy, which makes for an excellent experience. The course is very well marked and the organizers are very professional and friendly. A huge thank you!
Canoeing is a must-do activity, we had a blast!!! The trip is well worth it, 9km with two children aged 10 and 12, including a little picnic by the river – magnificent!! The staff are welcoming and super friendly 😀
