Surroundings
Get on your bike
Surrounding the glamping in Espira de Conflent are some great routes for cycling enthusiasts. These include several cycling routes in the nearby Pyrenees, such as the famous Col du Tourmalet, which has been featured in the Tour de France. The region is also home to the Voie Verte, a network of bike trails that stretches for 20 km from Ille-sur-Têt to Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, past picturesque villages and stunning natural scenery.
Visit some wine caves
The Pyrénées-Orientales has a rich tradition of winemaking, and the area is best known for its sweet fortified wines, such as Banyuls and Maury, which are made from grapes grown on steep terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Many of the local wineries offer tours and tastings, so if you are a wine lover, the Pyrénées-Orientales is definitely a suitable region for a good glass of wine.
Discover Perpignan
The city of Perpignan is a 40-minute drive from the campsite and is known for its rich history, distinctly Catalan culture and unique blend of French and Catalan culture. In the city you will find the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, a magnificent Gothic palace built in the 13th century that served as the residence of the kings of Majorca. Don't forget the city's thriving culinary scene, with local specialties such as fresh seafood, Catalan stews and an array of delicious desserts and pastries. Several cultural festivals are held throughout the year, including the Estivales de Perpignan, a summer music and art festival, and the Visa Pour l'Image, an international festival of photojournalism.
Fun 20 minutes away
To have a fun day in the area, you don't have to drive far. Discover the impressive Grottes des Canalettes, just a 20-minute drive from Camping Canigou. These enchanting caves will amaze you with their stalactites, stalagmites and illuminated underground lakes. A special day in nature, and a magical experience for young and old alike! Another option 20 minutes away is a visit to beautiful Villefranche-de-Conflent, a medieval walled town. Stroll through the narrow streets, admire the impressive fortifications and sample local specialties in the cozy restaurants. Once back at glamping in France, unwind in your luxury safari tent.

Una troballa fantàstica, tranquil i disposat al llarg d'un tram del riu. Hem gaudit d'allò més de la piscina natural. Instal·lacions austeres però impecables. Se'ns dubte que tornarem

We stayed here for three nights during an early heat wave and found everything we were looking for: shade under a blooming linden tree, a spacious site, electricity (included in the package—less than twenty euros per night for a van and two people) at every spot, and… the icing on the cake, a huge natural swimming pool created by a small dam on the mountain stream “Le Lech,” fed by meltwater from Mount Canigou. In the early season, the place is peaceful, and you can really feel the deep attachment that the owner (Henri) and his wife have for the site, as they carry on the impressive work of his parents. There’s a nice little snack bar on site and a big screen for the World Cup. A place we’ll definitely be coming back to!

Nous nous sommes posés ici pour trois nuits en période de forte chaleur précoce et nous y avons trouvé tout ce que nous cherchions; de l'ombre sous un tilleul en fleurs, un grand emplacement, de l’électricité (incluse dans le forfait de moins d’une vingtaine d’euros/nuit pour un Van + deux personnes) à chaque spot et… cerise sur le gâteau, une énorme piscine naturelle aménagée grâce à un mini barrage sur le torrent de montagne ‘Le Lech’ alimenté par les eaux de fonte du Canigou. En cette avant saison le calme règne sur les lieux et on sent fortement l’attachement aux lieux du patron (Henri) et de sa femme, perpétuant le travail impressionnant de ses parents. Petite restauration sympa sur place et grand écran pour le mondial de foot. Un endroit où nous reviendrons!

Have stayed here with the caravan at the end of May. What a wonderful place. Large pitches and not crowded. In the middle of nature on a nice stream where they have made a natural swimming pool with loungers. The restaurant has a very simple menu but is prepared with taste. The reception is also very pleasant.

Hebben hier eind mei met de caravan gestaan. Wat een heerlijke plek. Grote plaatsen en niet druk. Midden in de natuur aan een leuk beekje waar men een natuurlijk zwembad met ligstoelen hebben gemaakt. Het restaurant heeft een zeer eenvoudige kaart maar wordt met smaak klaargemaakt. De ontvangst is trouwens ook bijzonder prettig.
