Camping Moulin de Chaules

The camp site, situated by a crystal clear brook, is part of a former water mill. There are 55 camping pitches, of different sizes. Apart from the pitches situated by the border of the brook, there are also a range of terraces. These terraces are nicely private due to the wide green belts in between them. The entire property, in harmony with the surroundings, was formerly part of the rural _Chaules_ estate. The ruins of the old castle, owned by our neighbour, rise high above the trees and can be visited (at your own risk since parts are a little unstable). During the high-season period (July / August) the camp site is very family oriented with a wide range of facilities for all ages. Out of season, the camp site is very popular with people who prefer a quiet, spacious site with lots of opportunities for walking, excursions, etc. Riviére, Piscine, Bar restaurant The Cantal is the most southern 'département' of the region Auvergne, and our campsite is situated in the most southern part of it, just in the corner between the provinces of the Lot and the Aveyron. This small part of France has a gentle micro-climate: hence the nickname of _Nice du Cantal_ at the entrance of Maurs. The region east of the village of Maurs is called _La Châtaigneraie_, due to the many chestnut trees planted in this area. A taste of what's happening in _La Châtaigneraie_ is available on the official tourist office site La Châtaigneraie. The landscape is volcanic and this shows itself in a beautifully hilly and sometimes mountainous landscape with green valleys and rippling brooks, offering you an intensive kind of stillness. Every curve of the road shows you a new panorama, taking you back to a much earlier, gentle time. For our guests we have a range of car tours and numerous walking tours available. These will lead you through this beautiful region, thankfully not yet discovered by mass-tourism. For a daytrip in the surrounding area there are numerous opportunities, such as: Our
