Why stay here ...

Located close to Le Puy-en-Velay alongside la Dunière river in the Auvergne, this attractive, well-organised site works hard to deliver high standards throughout the season. With a relaxed ambiance, it’s perfect for nature lovers and families seeking an active yet peaceful break.

The pitches are marked and grassy, and the facilities are excellent, with a good standard of accessible facilities such as a pre-order takeaway system and activities including music evenings and canoe lessons. 

Nearby are the dramatic volcanoes of the region and Le Puy, with its impressive setting and association with the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. This site is an ideal base for an active holiday, with an excellent golf course close at hand.

A great place to stay

De Vaubarlet
This is one of the loveliest sites we have visited. Madam Geraldine and her staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The site is set in a clearing in a deep wooded valley with a small stony river running through the middle. There is plenty of space for almost any activity. We could happily have spent more time in the site itself, but it is also a good centre for visiting a less known but beautiful part of France. It is some distance from the nearest village, and both wifi and mobile communications are difficult, but if you want to relax and get away from it all, this is an idela place.

An absolute gem of a site!

De Vaubarlet
We stayed here in July 2017 for 8 days, wished we'd stayed much longer! We were so relaxed we barely left the site, the setting was absolutely stunning in a steep mountain valley (it did get quite chilly at night but not in the evening). We could choose our own pitch which was huge! Not sure whether this is offered all season. The staff were so friendly and helpful the owners are Dutch and French and could not do enough for you, suggesting days out, where to park in Le Puy en Velay, etc. When we arrived we were given a tour of the facilities and an explanation of how the campsite worked, restaurant, rubbish, bread ordering etc. There was a good mix of different nationalities as well as obviously French families. The facilities were spotless with mixed toilets and showers. The pool bar and restaurant area was very pleasant. The restaurant operates a system where you choose the food, the time you want it and whether you eat at the restaurant or takeaway and order it beforehand. Worked well! The scenery in the area is just beautiful with breathtaking views from every road we took. Definitely planning to return maybe next year and for longer!

Excellent site

De Vaubarlet
We stayed at the site during Euro 2016, as did many other football fans. You might have expected this to impact on the cleanliness of the facilities or service but it did not, the food in the restaurant was good and drinks fairly priced. The cleaning staff must have worked doubly hard as the toilets and showers were excellent at most times of the day. The site is a little remote though and if weather is unseasonably poor as it was during our visit, it is a long way to the nearest village for a change of scenery. Overall I couldn't recommend this site highly enough.
