Accessibility

Is the campsite suitable for people with reduced mobility?

Our campsite is a family campsite on a human scale par excellence. We'd like to welcome all members of the family without exception, but the configuration of our uneven terrain means that we can't do this in good conditions of circulation and safety for people with reduced mobility.

In fact, our campsite has been terraced at the bottom of a hill with a steep gradient. Because of this difficult topography, our campsite has been granted an accessibility derogation.

Of course, we do have a camping pitch for a tent, caravan or camper van, which is close to the sanitary block equipped with a toilet, shower and sink suitable for disabled people. But it's getting around the site that's tricky, especially on certain sloping paths (up to 20%), when accessing the lake or the campsite services (reception, bar, restaurant, swimming pool). This is also why we have not installed any PRM rental accommodation.

If you or a member of your family has mobility difficulties, we strongly recommend that you contact us before staying with us. We'll try to explain any difficulties you may encounter during your stay.

Together we can see if our campsite can meet your mobility requirements and be a good vacation destination for you.Ideally, you'd even like to come and see us on site, before your vacation, so that we can visualize the various difficulties and access points together.

We encourage you to contact us if you have not found the answer(s) to your question(s).
