The Païolive Wood, the ideal holiday destination!
In southern Ardèche, there is a unique and magical setting, the Païolive Wood. Its name has a definite southern ring to it and the place will enchant visitors of every age with its astonishing structures enigmatically shaped from limestone blocks. It is also the ideal terrain for a walk or a cycle ride. A great destination for families or for couples!
Just a few miles away, your Sandaya campsite awaits you for a memorable camping holiday. On the agenda for your stay: unlimited splishing, splashing and sliding in the water park, sheer relaxation in the spa, creative activities at the free children’s clubs and a varied array of activities in the daytime and well into the evening. The icing on the cake? Direct access to the river. So don’t delay, book today!
Visit the Païolive Wood with the family
A family trip into the heart of the Païolive Wood will leave you amazed by the beauty… and the strangeness! The limestone blocks that have populated the wood since the dawn of time form some strange and amusing shapes that are sure to appeal to your little campers. A bear? A lion? An elephant? Everyone will see something different, so visitors big and small – let your imagination run wild!
The Païolive Wood can also be explored by bicycle. Following the waymarked paths so as to respect the surrounding environment, your gang can pedal along happily in the shade of the trees. And the most intrepid among you can add a final sporty touch to your trip with a potholing excursion for a fascinating journey into the depths of the Earth.
Visit the Païolive Wood as a couple
Couples who love outdoor sports will find it hard to resist the call of the woods and the waymarked hiking trails. Secluded from the rest of the world, stroll hand in hand under the white oaks for a romantic escapade that will remain etched in your memories for many years to come.
Looking to cool off in the water after your walk amongst the trees? The Gorges de l’Ardèche, those of Chassezac or the heated water park at the campsite are all perfect for a refreshing dip, which will do you the world of good after all that physical exertion!
Camping Païolive Wood: our handy tips for a successful stay
The Païolive Wood is a sanctuary harbouring numerous plant and animal species that are unique in France, such as the European stag beetle and the blue Eupotosia mirifica beetle. Keep your eyes peeled!
You simply can’t stay in the Ardèche without venturing out onto the river! No matter how you choose to sail – in a canoe, on a standup paddleboard or in a more typical vessel – you’re sure to have fun!
A cultural outing you won’t want to miss is the Chauvet 2 cave, a faithful reproduction of the original cave discovered in 1994 and its cave paintings dating back 36,000 years!
To protect this unique environment, a few simple rules are to be followed: stay on the waymarked paths, pick up your litter and keep quiet to boost your chances of spotting the animals.
