A 4 star campsite in Serres, in the heart of the Hautes Alpes
Located within a mountainous region in the Hautes Alpes, this Serres campsite is a delightful haven of peace for lovers of the outdoors and the countryside. In a magnificent lush and relaxing setting, this family-orientated establishment with a human dimension, has a varied offering of pitches and holiday rentals.
On this 4 star campsite in the Hautes Alpes you’re able to choose, in a 10 hectare setting in the middle of nowhere, a lush pitch of 80 m² to 200 m² with electricity. The most spacious of these even enable accommodation of up to 8 holidaymakers. If you’re looking for a hint of exoticism in your holiday destination, you can opt for a family lodge tent, in timber and canvas with 2 bedrooms, or DK'Bane D'Tente, with garden furniture set on raised terrace, for a romantic stay.
With a more conventional style, the mobile home rental remains a safe bet for families. In the standard, confort (comfort) or premium models, they all have 2 to 3 bedrooms and a terrace, to make the most of days outdoors. The chalet holiday rental is also an intriguing alternative and particularly adapted to mountain stays. The most spacious and comfortable is the Vanille chalet. Equipped with 3 bedrooms and a television, it also has a terrace with private green space, plancha and hammock.
On the programme: sports, games and nature trips for everyone
On-site, a swimming pool open in the high season, with children’s pool and water slide, enables you to cool down and relax. Moreover, this swimming pool is likely to be used, from time to time during the warmest summer days, for pool and water polo games. Those who wish to play sports on terra firma will have the choice of volleyball, basketball, fitness, or simply pétanque or table tennis. The setting for your stay, being mid-altitude, is also well adapted to loads of other activities you can try off site: canyoning, canoeing, climbing, potholing, microlight, or for something simpler mountain biking, hiking or horse riding.
Every summer, a children’s club accommodates your children aged 5 to 12, and supervises them during diverse and varied activities: outdoor games, archery, bracelet-making, make-up... Furthermore, a schedule is displayed at reception with the details of activities and registration form. On the Domaine des 2 Soleils campsite, a team of activity leaders also organizes several themed evenings per week. These include concerts with a mussels and chips menu, karaoke (or werewolf game known as loup-garou) and musical bingo, and twice a week animated films for young and old alike are planned.
At Domaine des 2 Soleils, we do everything to simplify your life. A grocery which notably offers fruit and vegetables and a range of local products, is open all summer on-site. A bar restaurant, with snack menus, to eat in or takeaway, and bread ordering service is also on hand. A library organizes the loan of books and board games. Lastly, Wi-Fi packages and the hire of various types of equipment such as a plancha, fridge or freezer will certainly make your campsite stay easier.
A charming mountainous Provencal region
In staying on the Domaine des 2 Soleils, you are in the town of Serres, a medieval character town (Petite Cité de Caractère owing to its outstanding heritage), in the heart of the Baronnies Provençales regional natural park between Provence and the Alps. Nestling against the La Pignolette rock, this village overlooks the valley and its braided river, the “Buech”. With the lovely medieval houses, church, clock tower and alleyways, it is genuinely worth seeing. Go and look around its market and be tempted by local specialities. As you leave the village, the landscaped Germanette lake is a fascinating stop. With a swimming area supervised by lifeguards and water sports centre, it will delight your children. Make the most of it!
A further lovely small town to visit, 35 minutes further south, is Sisteron. Dubbed the gem of Haute Provence this old town, situated by the Durance river, enjoys an exceptional natural panorama. Visit its cathedral, one of the largest religious buildings in Provence and the Citadel fortress, a genuine icon of the town from which you’ll have the loveliest view of the region and town below. Further choice small towns are Laragne Montéglin and its lovely Provençal Thursday morning market and even Rosans, with the priory and lavender.
Finally, in the height of summer, if you’re looking for coolness in the surrounding area, go to the Gorges de la Méouge gorge, south of Laragne Montéglin. These gorges link the Drôme Provençale and Hautes Alpes regions, by a small road which winds around some ten kilometres. Deep in the gorges, a river forms small basins in the limestone rock, where you can swim amidst a remarkable natural heritage. Pure delight!
