Emilie's opinion

The Donjon de Lars campsite is in a verdant location with proximity to the sea… My advice: opt for a Raoul mobile home on a plot (the category of accommodation type centred around comfort). Without the need for a car and close to the children’s play area, this mobile home is in the ideal spot!
