With its lofty setting, Val de Cantobre puts you in the midst of many of nature’s splendours.
Spectacularly positioned in the Dourbie Valley between the Tarn Gorges and the Cévennes National Park, you are assured of a warm welcome at this exceptional parc. Access has never been easier due to the new Millau Viaduct.
Though quite steep, the open terraced pitches offer fantastic views looking out over the nearby village of Cantobre which clings to the rock face. The parc offers many amenities, including a water park which has a lazy river and 3 slides suitable for younger children.
In addition to this, there is a restaurant, bar and pizzeria housed in the medieval farm buildings at the bottom of the parc. Yet the real beauty of Cantobre is the breadth of outdoor activities on offer. A Walking and Wildlife guide will be available on parc for selected dates in early summer, providing a range of guided walks around the local area.

| Disappointed. Last stayed here 16 years ago when it was run by a French family. Now part of a Dutch owned chain, standards have fallen. Restaurant is expensive and poor quality. Pizzeria not as good as formerly. In fact, the pizzas were almost inedible. Shop is poor, given the remote location.
Whereas before the owners took a pride in the site, now there is no-one evidently in charge.
Well, it's part of a chain......
On the plus side, the area is stunning. Go for the scenery, but be prepared to self cater and buy what you need off site - but Millau is a good 30 to 40 minutes away to get to a good supermarket. |
