With its lovely architecture and rural location, this lively parc has a deserved reputation for high standards.
St. Avit Loisirs is one of the premier parcs in a region where standards are already high, in fact it has the prestigious 5 red tents in the Michelin guide and is the first French campsite to obtain the internationally recognised ISO9000 award for quality.
Its crowning glories are the beautiful, golden stone-built Périgordin buildings which house the reception, shop, bar and traditional ‘auberge’, with its choice of delicious regional specialities.
There is also an indoor tropical-style swimming pool and even a ‘lazy river’ as well as a bar terrace overlooking the outdoor pool complex, which is the scene for a full programme of entertainment including disco and karaoke nights.
Surrounded by verdant woodland, this Castel parc is mainly shaded and extremely spacious, with lovely views across the countryside and the added bonus of luxury tent pitches arranged along the edge.
