Camping de Courte Vallée, notre site détenu et géré par des Britanniques situé dans la vallée de la rivière Thouet, à quelques pas de la ville médiévale d'Airvault. Le camping, situé dans un parc magnifiquement paysager de 4 hectares à proximité de la rivière du Thouet, offre des installations bien entretenues et une atmosphère chaleureuse et conviviale, vous permettant de vous détendre et de profiter de vos vacances dans le confort. Situés au cœur préservé de la France rurale et à l'écart des principales routes touristiques, nous sommes néanmoins entourés d'une énorme variété de choses à voir et à faire. La région est chargée d'histoire et, étant sur la route des pèlerins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, elle regorge de vestiges et de monuments fascinants à découvrir.

Pour ceux d’entre vous qui ont un esprit gastronomique, il existe un grand nombre de restaurants locaux pour toutes les occasions. Les occasions sont également nombreuses pour savourer les spécialités locales des vins de Loire et du Thouarsais, ainsi que les nombreuses variétés de fromages de chèvre propres à la région. Le rythme de vie est lent ici – vous pouvez vous détendre dans la tranquillité de cette magnifique vallée fluviale qui est un refuge pour les oiseaux et la faune. Les sentiers de randonnée et les pistes cyclables le long des routes de campagne tranquilles sont nombreux et constituent un moyen idéal pour explorer les nombreux villages pittoresques de la campagne environnante. L'un des Grandes Randonnées de France, le GR 36, passe devant l'entrée du camping.
