Le Domaine d'Arnauteille, luxury campsite in the Corbières
In the heart of Cathar Country, in the massif des Corbières, halfway between Carcassonne and Limoux, in Montclar, we find le Domaine d'Arnauteille, a 5-star campsite, member of the Yelloh! Village Group. This establishment, nestled in the middle of nature, is the ideal place to spend a quiet and relaxed holiday in the Aude Department...
115 acres of nature
Le Domaine d'Arnauteille nestles in the middle of nature, within three kilometres of the hamlet of Montclar, in the heart of the Corbières. This 5-star campsite of the Aude, in the privileged setting of 115 acres, on a wooded and landscaped site with graduated terraces, offers incredible views over the surrounding mountains; the Corbières, of course, but also the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire.
Even though the whole area extends on almost 115 acres, at an average altitude of 270 metres, the space reserved for camping occupies only 7 hectares. With 198 pitches and 90 rentals, le Domaine d'Arnauteille is a human scale campsite, especially appreciated for its scenery and its peace and quiet.
The 198 camping plots are divided into two types. The standard pitches only have one connection to the electric grid, while the comfort pitches also have water and sewage connections. Furthermore, the average surface of these pitches is 120 m², the standard pitches being smaller.
With regard to the rentals, the well-equipped mobile homes and cottages are ideal for people looking for comfort and an accommodation in which they feel good. Among all these, the most luxury mobile homes of le Domaine d'Arnauteille are definitely the Premium cottages. With a surface of 40 m², they feature air conditioning and a terrace equipped with a pergola, garden furniture and sun loungers.
The campsite's restaurant houses in the former stables, offering a variety of regional specialities and AOC wines. Guests can enjoy delicious small snacks on a lovely terrace shaded by lime trees. A take-away service is also available on-site, just like a grocery store and a bakery.
A water park with an antique decoration
The water park of le Domaine d'Arnauteille, true lung of the campsite, features a decoration that leaves no one indifferent. Indeed, developed like a Greco-Roman Amphitheatre, it is in an antique atmosphere that tourists can enjoy the four pools of this unique water park. There is a swimming pool of 25 meters long, a paddling pool for children, a toboggan and a water slide, an artificial upstream river to swim against the tide and various bubble baths, looking like the thermal baths of the Roman era...
Around the pools, the 3,000 m² of tribunes of this pseudo amphitheatre are used as a sunbathing area, allowing tourists to relax after a swim and the joys of water.
Among the fun and sports facilities of this luxury campsite in the Languedoc Roussillon, we note the presence of an equestrian centre, offering campers the opportunity to go horseback riding in the vicinity of Montclar. A multi-sports ground, a jeu-de-boules court, table tennis tables, foosball, a library and a television room complete the entertainment offer of this establishment.
Discovering Cathar Country
Le Domaine d'Arnauteille, settled in the heart of the Corbières massif, at less than 15 km from Carcassonne, in the Aude, is undoubtedly one of the best campsites of Cathar Country. A tourist country with a lot of charm and an important historical heritage.
It is indeed a region marked by Catharism, that has implanted, during the 18th and 19th century, a lot of castles and fortified villages in the South of France. Montségur, Lastours, Minerve, etc. There are many sites to visit to better understand this "medieval movement" and learn more about the "Albigensian Crusade" that finished it.
The walled city of Carcassonne, and the advanced allegiances, nicknamed "the 5 sons of Carcassonne" (the fortresses of Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, Aguilar, Termes and Puilaurens), are among the most visited sites of Cathar Country.
The Aude boasts a rich historical heritage, but this Department has many other tourist treasures, like its gorges, dreamed spots for lovers of canyoning, rafting, canoeing and hydro speeding. All these activities can be discovered during your stay on campsite Le Domaine d'Arnauteille!
