Camping Moulin de Chaules

Camping Moulin de Chaules is a charming nature‑focused campsite set on about 3 to 3.5 hectares of rolling countryside in the scenic Lot Valley of south‑central France. Nestled along the peaceful Ressègue stream, just 2 km from the village of Saint‑Constant, this destination blends pastoral beauty with comfortable amenities — ideal for families, couples, hikers, and nature lovers alike.

What makes Moulin de Chaules truly unforgettable is its harmonious setting in nature: shaded terraces under trees, grassy open spaces surrounded by forests, and the gentle sound of water from the creek right through the site. As you explore the grounds you’ll feel the everyday rush fade away, replaced by long moments of calm and fresh country air.

You’ll find a wide choice of camping accommodations: from classic pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, including waterfront plots with electricity, large comfort pitches up to 150 m², and sunny panoramic spots on elevated terraces, to more glamping‑style lodges and coco‑sweet cabins.

On‑site facilities elevate your stay beyond basic camping:

• Outdoor swimming pool — perfect for cooling off in summer warmth
• Bar & restaurant / snack area — enjoy drinks and meals without leaving the campsite
• Bread & grocery service — fresh baked goods and basics delivered daily
• Children’s play equipment & games area — fun for all ages
• Library & board games — relaxed indoor leisure
• Fast Wi‑Fi and electric vehicle charging point
• Laundry and sanitary facilities with washing machines and dryers
• Electric bike hire at reception for exploring the countryside with ease

Whether you choose a classic campsite pitch, a spacious lodge with panoramic views, or a unique geodesic dome with private spa, Moulin de Chaules invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature and savor memorable moments under the French sky.

Camping Moulin de Chaules excels not just for its tranquil setting, but for its rich regional playground. The campsite is ideally located for discovering three spectacular French regions: Cantal, Lot and Aveyron — each boasting rolling landscapes, historic villages and water‑shaped valleys.

Adventure seekers and families can enjoy:

• Canoeing or kayaking on the River Lot — guided or self‑guided trips through stunning valleys
• Lakeside fun at Lac de Saint‑Étienne‑de‑Cantalès — swimming, picnics and water activities just a short drive away
• Hiking and biking trails radiating in every direction, from gentle loop walks to panoramic ridge hikes
• Scenic drives and village exploration — ancient hilltop towns, local markets and traditional Auvergne architecture

Historic culture is close at hand too: picturesque hamlets, rustic churches, and remnants of old castles dot the countryside. Within about 10 minutes by car you can reach local restaurants, cafés and shops in Saint‑Constant and neighboring villages — perfect for tasting regional cheeses, charcuterie, and Cantal wines.

For something slightly farther afield, explore renowned sites like Conques (a medieval pilgrimage village), Vic‑sur‑Cère with its thermal history, or family‑friendly attractions such as water parks and wildlife parks — all within scenic day‑trip distance.

To make the most of your holiday at Camping Moulin de Chaules, here are some practical tips and important notes:

• Opening season: The campsite typically operates from mid‑April through late September — plan early if you’re visiting in July or August.
