Your holiday by a vividly hued lake in the Drôme…
Halfway between Gap and Valence, Châtillon en Diois is one of the ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’ (holding the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’ label, aiming to protect its heritage). The Le Lac Bleu campsite is located in this village. It enjoys exceptional, lush surroundings at the foot of the Vercors massif, offering you the chance to stay in a holiday rental or on a camping and caravanning pitch laid out in the grounds, running alongside a magnificent emerald blue lake...
Lovers can treat themselves to an original romantic getaway, by booking a fully equipped ‘floating island’. If you’re wanting to live like Robinson Crusoe, go for a two-person ‘floating cabin’. The timber decor is lovely and the 360-degree view over the lake, from the circular terrace, proves exceptional! A small boat enables you to access this cosy nest, guaranteeing you an out-of-the-ordinary and unforgettable experience!
Once settled in, you can make the most of the wide range of leisure and entertainment on offer at the Le Lac Bleu campsite. For example, the covered, heated aquatic park enables you to swim and make the most of the delights of water in any season. Moreover, you can also swim in the lake, located in the heart of the campsite. For thrill-seekers, what better than hurtling down one of the seven water slides flowing right into the lake, for an adrenalin and speed rush!
…In the heart of the Vercors massif...
Children have fun in the play area and arrange a jumping competition on the bouncy castle. They make new friends during creative activities offered by the kids club activity leaders. Meanwhile their parents relax on the sunbeds on the beach, running alongside the lake. Your holiday in the Drôme department is also the chance to treat yourself to a line-fishing match, ride on a pedalo or canoe trip.
To ensure you fully make the most of your holiday in the Drôme department, the Le Lac Bleu campsite has a grocery and bread and pastries outlet. It is essential to start every day of the holiday with a gourmet breakfast! You can also have a pre-dinner drink or share a meal at the campsite bar – snack bar, which offers a magnificent view over the lake from the wooden terrace.
Wi-Fi is free at the restaurant. Don’t delay in taking more photos and videos of your family enjoying an ice cream opposite the blue lake, and sharing them on social media! This campsite with a human dimension proves exotic and well maintained! It allows you to reconnect with the surrounding countryside and have lovely walks or bike rides on the Vercors massif hiking trails.
…In the Drôme sunshine
You’ll maybe struggle to leave the Le Lac Bleu campsite, a genuine wellness cocoon... Yet if you do, rest assured you won’t be disappointed!
