A camp site in the heart of the Auvergne, on the edge of Des Volcans nature park with the famous, green volcanoes which are so typical of this area. Camping Le Clos de Balanède is located in Châtel-Guyon, about 20 km north of Clermont-Ferrand and the smaller town of Riom. The level camping grounds have pleasantly shaded pitches and are very natural. There are three swimming pools on the camp site, including a shallow toddlers' pool. What is really nice for small children is that they can play not only in the water but in the playground or on the minigolf course. Great activities for sportive holidays are organised in the whole region around Puy de Dôme: canoeing, mountain biking, balloon trips, paintball, horse riding and much more. Clermont-Ferrand, a city with an attractive old centre is about twenty kilometres away. Also worth a visit is the old spa town of Vichy with the mineral water of the same name. The town still breathes the atmosphere of a luxury resort from around the turn of the last century with a covered wooden boulevard in the park around the therapeutic waters.

Local Area

The Auvergne is a lovely area if you are looking for a relaxed holiday. This is the place to enjoy nature, with babbling brooks, small streams and lakes. One of the attractions in the area is the 1900 metre high Puy de Dôme, a green extinct volcano offering fantastic views. The Vulcania theme park, where you can find out all about volcanoes is fascinating and exciting. In Châtel-Guyon itself there is the Parc Ecureuil adventure park with obstacle courses in the woods suitable for children and adults.
The site is also suitable as a resting place on your way to the Côte d’Azur in the South of France, because from Châtel-Guyon you are soon on the motorway towards the south of the Auvergne.
