Le Velay Express

Les Voies Ferroviaires de Velay (VFV) is a historic railroad in the region of Le Puy-en-Velay. The railroad runs through picturesque landscapes and is considered one of the best-preserved and most beautiful narrow-gauge railroads in France. A ride on the trains pulled by steam locomotives offers you a unique and authentic way to experience the natural beauty and heritage of the region.


The Castle of Rochebaron

A half-hour drive from the campground, atop a rocky hill, lies one of the best-preserved castles in the region. The panoramic view of the surrounding landscape alone is worth the hike up the steep path. The castle has a rich history dating back to the 12th century, and much of its original architecture and furnishings have been preserved. Today, you can visit Rochebaron Castle, and the 2 museums found inside, and discover how the inhabitants lived back then. It is a popular tourist attraction and in the summer the impressive birds of prey shows that are given make a visit extra special.

Hiking in Haute-Loire

Haute-Loire is known for its beautiful nature with forests, mountains and rivers such as the Loire River that rises at Mont Gerbier. Put on your hiking boots, as the scenic landscapes and varied terrain make Haute-Loire a popular hiking destination. The hundreds of miles of trails and paths range from easy walks to challenging mountain hikes. The Monts d'Ardèche regional natural park, the Cézallier plateau and the Gorges de la Loire are very popular. But also the various long-distance hiking trails such as the GR65 pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, which passes through Le Puy-en-Velay. Whether you are an experienced hiker or just want to enjoy hiking with the whole family, the Haute-Loire has something for everyone.

    I was really disappointed with this campground.

    It started as soon as I arrived, with the manager making a very inappropriate comment about the fact that I was traveling alone: “Oh, you’re alone… Well, that’s your right, isn’t it…” in a very condescending tone. What a warm welcome!
    Then it just kept getting worse—they stuck me in a dismal “site” way out in the back of the campground, with no electricity even though I’d paid for it (well, there was a power outlet on the other side of the road, more than 20 meters away—great, thanks a lot!). Fortunately, I was able to switch to a better spot, and by the way, thanks to the youngest employee who handled it so accommodatingly—she’s the sole reason for the second star in my rating.
    As for the rest, the campground is really nothing special—the setting is nice but nothing more, the facilities are decent, but for the price, it’s frankly overpriced. I don’t understand how this campground can be rated 4 stars. I just got back from Lac du Bourget, where I got much better amenities for almost half the price, in a much more idyllic setting, and without the manager’s mocking attitude.

    In short, fellow campers, stay away! There are much better destinations nearby :)

    Vraiment déçu par ce camping.

    Ça a commencé dès l'arrivée, avec la gérante qui se permet une remarque très déplacée sur le fait que je voyage seul : “Ah vous êtes seul… Ben vous avez le droit hein...” sur un ton très méprisant. Sacré sens de l'accueil !
    Puis la suite, on me refile un “emplacement” sinistre au fin fond du camping, sans électricité alors que j'avais payé pour (enfin, une borne de l'autre côté de la route à plus de 20 mètres, super merci !). J'ai heureusement pu changer pour un meilleur emplacement, et au passage, merci à la plus jeune employée qui a géré ça en étant arrangeante, elle est l'unique raison de la deuxième étoile à ma notation.
    Pour le reste, le camping n'a vraiment rien d'exceptionnel, le cadre est sympa sans plus, les équipements corrects, mais pour le prix c'est franchement abusé. Je ne comprends pas comment ce camping peut être noté 4 étoiles, je reviens tout juste du lac du Bourget où j'ai eu de bien meilleures prestations pour quasiment moitié moins cher, dans un cadre bien plus idyllique, et sans le supplément moquerie de la gérante.

    Bref, amis campeurs, fuyez ! Il y a de bien meilleures destinations aux alentours :)

    We had a great stay at the campground during our trip along the Via Fluvia (cycling tour). It’s a very natural campground with beautiful views, well-equipped tents, and friendly, helpful staff. We’d love to go back (even though the climb the next morning on our bikes really made our legs ache).

    Super séjour au camping lors de notre excursion sur la via fluvia (cyclo-tourisme). Camping très nature avec de belles vues, tentes bien équipées, personnel sympathique et disponible. On y retournera volontiers (malgré la montée du lendemain matin à vélo qui faisait mal aux jambes)

    A campground in a gorgeous setting surrounded by nature and right on a river. Very friendly staff and a cozy, family-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, our campsite had no shade, and the restrooms were a bit far away and sometimes crowded, though they were always clean. From the campground, you can set out on hikes or bike rides in various directions. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

    Traumhaft gelegener Campingplatz im Grünen und direkt an einem Fluss. Sehr freundliche Betreuung und familiäre Atmosphäre. Leider hatte unser Stellplatz keinen Schatten und die sanitären Einrichtungen waren etwas weit entfernt und teilweise überfüllt aber immer sauber. Vom Campingplatz aus kann man direkt in verschiedene Richtungen wandern oder Radtouren unternehmen. Landschaftlich ein absolter Traum.

    A wonderful campground! The sites are large and shaded; the place is quiet and well-maintained, with plenty of space. Kids can ride bikes on-site, and there are activities planned for them, including games and a pool. There are horses, a chicken coop, the river right next door, a small grocery store, and a restaurant near the pool. The setting is enchanting. The mobile homes are new and well-maintained. I really loved the place and would love to come back!! The staff is friendly, discreet, and efficient!

    A very nice campground, we were made to feel very welcome, and had a wonderful stay! However, BEWARE: at the night market, we bought some olives (from the only olive vendor there) and were sick all night! Other campers were sick too! And the vendor wasn't very helpful! I recommend the campground but not the olive stand at the night market.

    Tres beau camping, tres bien reçu, séjour formidable ! Par contre ATTENTION lors du marché nocturne nous avons acheté des olives ( un seul marchand d'olive) nous avons été malade toute la nuit ! D'autres campeurs aussi! Et personne pas très commerçante ! Je recommande le camping mais pas le stand d'olive du marché nocturne
