The magic of autumn landscapes
Going camping in autumn means immersing yourself in a unique setting: golden forests, lakes shrouded in early morning mist, flamboyant sunsets over the sea. Whether you choose the mountains, the countryside or the coast, the autumn colours offer an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The crisp air, the falling leaves, the breathable air... everything conspires to slow down the pace and savour the moment.
Cosy and comfortable accommodation for two
Gone are the days of simple summer tents! Many campsites offer comfortable accommodation, perfect for a romantic getaway out of season:
- Heated wooden cabins for a cosy atmosphere,
- Transparent bubbles for stargazing in the warmth,
- Fully equipped lodges with private terraces,
- Or even premium mobile homes with private spas.
Autumn is also synonymous with tranquillity: fewer holidaymakers, more privacy, and often much lower prices.
Activities to share under the autumn colours
- Romantic walks in the forest or along the coast
- Picking mushrooms or other seasonal produce
- Easy hikes or hiking/cycling at sunrise or sunset
- Cosy evenings: around the fire, enjoying a fondue, or even a spa if available at the campsite
- Local discoveries: autumn markets, producers, tastings, crafts
