Lussas
In 1990 we deliberately chose the Auzon Valley to set up the Ludo Camping. The climate in this region is similar to that of the Mediterranean : sun-certain in summer.
The Ludo Camping is situated in a natural reserve at the foot of the Coiron; a volcanic plateau and a lime stone area where some 2000 years ago a certain Julius Caesar already put up his tents. The ramparts are still to be seen.
The campsite is enclosed by a path that leads to our village Lussas (0,6 km), an orchard, a vineyard and a mountain stream. This stream (the Auzon) flows to the Ardeche, world famous for its Pont d’Arc (natural arch Bridge) and its canyon.
These sites are only half an hour away from us, and the city of Aubenas with its castle and its market is at 15 minutes.
The Middle Ages town of Largentière, the ancient city of Alba with its Roman theatre and the rich spa city Vals les Bains with its park and Casino are also within short distance. (max. 20 minutes).
At an hours’ drive are the Tanargue ridge and the Cevennes; the wondrous Gerbier de Jonc with the source of the Loire river, the small thatch roofed farms of the Massif Central.
Ludo Camping has modern, fully equipped sanitary buildings (heated in off season), heated swimming pool (22x10 m) with spacious sun terraces, children pool with aquatic toys (new in 2003) , phone booths, shop, bar, snacks, café with internet at our restaurant La Tulipe (500 m), pizza, postal service, etc.
The south Ardeche enjoys a Mediterranean climate and the season is long : April 1, 2010 till October 15, 2010.
