Fishing in Aveyron is much more than a pastime: it’s a way to breathe differently, slow down, observe nature, and soak in the beauty of South Aveyron. From Camping Vert Lavande in Belmont-sur-Rance, both keen anglers and curious holidaymakers enjoy privileged access to one of the most beautiful fishing areas in the department. A river just a few steps away, unspoilt landscapes, and a peaceful atmosphere… everything is in place for a truly relaxing escape by the water.

There are places that feel as though they’ve been waiting for you. From the Belmont-sur-Rance campsite, it takes only about thirty minutes to reach the Abbey of Sylvanès, yet once you arrive, it feels as though you’ve traveled far beyond mere distance.

The valley gently closes in, the light shifts, and the abbey comes into view, nestled in a lush green setting. It often feels like stepping into another world — one where sound, stone, and even the air itself tell a story.

Travelling by motorhome in Aveyron—especially around Saint-Affrique—is a unique experience. With its natural landscapes, authentic villages, and peaceful roads, the region is attracting more and more motorhome travellers looking for freedom and a chance to unwind.

But once you arrive, one essential question arises: where should you park your motorhome in Saint-Affrique for a comfortable overnight stay?

Just a short walk from Camping Vert Lavande, the Belmont-sur-Rance Airfield has, over the decades, become a true meeting place for microlight clubs, pilot groups, aeronautical associations, and anyone involved in or organizing light aviation activities.

In southern Aveyron, there is no better balance of natural surroundings, suitable facilities, friendliness, and accessibility for groups.

If you’re looking for a venue for a gathering, a club outing, a flying weekend, a glider training camp, a microlight stay, or even an accommodation base for an air tour, you’ve come to the right place.
