Presentation

Camping Le Moulin stands on ancient XVIIth century domain and deligthful surroundings of the Garonne river. 200m² swimming-pool, free tennis court, etc... Entertainment organised all summer long. Wooden chalets are available for rent. Our four-star campsite is set on the lands of an old 17th century water mill alongside the river Garonne. As it is located at the end of a road just outside the village, it is also very quiet. The closest motorway leads to both Toulouse and the Pyrenees but it is 3 km away, sparing us noise and pollution. Most of the 99 pitches have their own water and electric hook-ups. They are between 90 and 200 m², bordered with hedges and mostly well shaded. Moreover the campsite has a new, modern, top of the range sanitary block. The labels 'Camping Qualité', 'Sites et Paysages de France' and 'The green key' attest to the amenity of the place and the quality of our services. Our site is also recommended by numerous travel guides such as Michelin, ANWB, Alan Rogers, ADAC, ACSI, AA, FFCC, Le Routard, Le Petit Futé, etc. Off to one side of the estate, slightly isolated in an oak copse, we have built seventeen fully equipped wooden chalets. Looking onto the last hills before the Pyrenees, they ideally suited for those who prefer the comfort of a permanent accommodation. For the others we also offer mobile homes and caravans with awnings, both of which are set on the campsite. The forest area ' more than 12 Ha in total ' is in between the stream for the old water mill and the river Garonne. This area, cut-off from the rest of the world is the 'wild island' ' the perfect place for a stroll, to walk a dog (this definitely is dogs paradies) or even fish for roach, pike or trout in the Garonne.
