Municipal campsite in Puy-en-Velay

Camping du Puy-en-Velay is a small-scale and welcoming campsite with just 72 camping pitches, suitable for tents, caravans and camper vans. The camping pitches vary in size and have plenty of shade. Campers come here to enjoy the peace and quiet and to explore the surroundings. The campsite itself does not have many amenities, but it is ideally situated. A very large supermarket, where you can do your daily groceries, is just a five-minute walk away. Furthermore, you can walk within a couple of minutes to the historical town of Puy-en-Velay.

Especially for culture enthusiasts

Le Puy-en-Velay is a town that has secured a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is also known as the pilgrim town. The town is one of the most important stopping places along the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. The town is staggeringly beautiful with its cathedral, beautiful squares, and the Black Madonna which you can view here. Are you looking for a challenge? Then climb 80 metres up to the chapel of Saint-Michel D'Aiguilhe, built on top of an old volcanic plug. From here, you will have a beautiful view of the Haute-Loire region.

Prima stadscamping, zoals ze moet zijn; alles is aanwezig, maar geen grote eisen stellen. Stap op 10 minuten lopen.

camping met veel schaduw op een steenworp van de stad. ruim aanbod aan fietsmogelijlheden en boodschappen zijn mogelijk in de Super U op 400m.
Een deel van het sanitair is vernieuwd.

Zeer goede stadscamping met goed sanitair. Redelijk rustig. Overdag wat geluid van tennisbanen. Maar niet hinderlijk. Adres beschrijving; Op N88 afslag Le Puy centrum. Dan borden camping volgen.
Camping ligt dus NIET aan de N88.

Prima camping om lopend de prachtige stad Le Puy te bezoeken.
Ondanks het feit dat het een stadscamping is, heb je weinig last van stadslawaai. Er is voldoende schaduw dankzij aanwezigheid van grote bomen. Riviertje achter muur van de camping is niet om in te zwemmen. De meeste mensen verblijven hier een dag of 2-3 om daarnaar weer door te reizen. Omdat Le Puy startpunt is voor Santiago de Compostella is er goed rekening gehouden met wandelaars en fietsers. Voor hen is er een praktische huiskamer/keuken ingericht. Verder zijn er weinig voorzieningen.
Het \'buitenrestaurant\' aan het begin van de camping is een aanrader; voor weinig geld een lekker maaltijd bereidt door kok en zijn allervriendelijkste (gast)vrouw.
