Azureva’s nature vacations: between peaks, forests and wild coastline
Studies prove it: there’s nothing like nature for good health, naturally! Whether you’re into forest bathing, green and blue hiking, woodland breaks, dune walking or outdoor meditation… ? Azureva has put together just for you 3 ideas for invigorating nature vacations in France.

“Que la montagne est belle”… in the Livradois Forez Natural Park!
Nature is second nature to you? Straddling 3 départements – Haute-Loire, Loire and Puy-de-Dôme – the Livradois-Forez is a must-see spot! This vast territory of some 300,000 ha is a playground for naturophiles of all stripes.
Take advantage of the infinite attractions of this colorful nature park during your vacation in Fournols-d’Auvergne. In this green setting between lake and fir trees at an altitude of 1040 m, you’ll find nature activities from every angle for the whole family. At your place of residence first of all: educational and fun mini-farm (beehive, vegetable and botanical garden), discovery of agricultural trades, immersion with nature professionals (beekeeper, botanist, farmer, gardener), floral art and gardening workshops… Still haven’t got your fill of nature? A day at the Prabouré mountain activity park is a must: treasure hunt, orienteering race, net course, rando-ferrata, inflatable structures, downhill scooter, giant zip-line… And don’t forget the hikes, the blueberries and the fun!
Other ideas for nature vacations with a nature park option in France: Bussang (Ballon des Vosges), Piau-Engaly (Pyrenees), La Malène (Cévennes), Murol (Volcans d’Auvergne)… In short, with Azureva, Nature has something for everyone: it’s impossible not to find a holiday to suit you!

The Vendée, a very natural destination, even for Médor!
In Vendée, nature takes on a whole new meaning! What could be better than the vastness of the ocean to fill your lungs with fresh air and recharge your batteries?
