Azureva vacation villages near the Grands Sites de France
The Grand Site de France label is awarded by the French government to natural sites whose reputation has spread beyond France’s borders. Exceptional sites that have been awarded this label are subject to a policy of preservation and enhancement. Many Azureva vacation villages are located near Grands Sites de France. These include Club Azureva*** de Kerjouanno in the Gulf of Morbihan, which lies close to the wild dunes from Gâvres to Quiberon. If you love nature untouched by human intervention, this is the ideal place for your next vacation. It’s the largest dune massif in Brittany. For lovers of nature walks, the Gâvres Quiberon site comprises 35 km of coastline without the slightest trace of urbanization. If you like photography or bird and animal watching, these landscapes are home to exceptional flora and fauna.
Another Grand Site de France close to Club Azureva*** on Ile d’Oléron, Charente-Maritime: the Charente estuary and Rochefort arsenal. The buildings and facilities of the Rochefort arsenal were created under Louis XIV and constitute a remarkable heritage site. As well as the historical and architectural heritage, you can explore the site on foot along footpaths, by bike along cycle routes, or by boat on the Charente or the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re a birdwatcher at heart, head into the marshes, an area protected by Natura 2000 and Nature Reserve labels and enhanced by volunteers from the French League for the Protection of Birds.
Our vacation villages near UNESCO World Heritage sites
The medieval-themed Azureva** Murol holiday village is located close to the Château de Murol, a fortress perched on a basalt plateau facing the Sancy massif, which offers costumed tours that take visitors back to the 15th century. However, despite its undeniable historical and architectural interest, the UNESCO World Heritage site is the Chaîne des Puys / Limagne fault, not far from our Murol vacation village. While the fortified castle takes you back nearly six hundred years, the volcanoes that make up the Chaîne des Puys take you back 35 million years, to the time when the Alps were created by the collision of two tectonic plates. Hikers and bikers will love the exceptional landscapes of volcanoes, crater lakes, basaltic flows… At the summit of the Puy de Dôme (also a Grand Site de France), an information area tells you more about the geological and human history of this unique site.
If you prefer a more maritime atmosphere, head for the great lake of Lacanau, for a stay in our Village Azureva*** Lacanau, located in Gironde. A UNESCO World Heritage site awaits you nearby: the Cordouan lighthouse. This lighthouse was built in the 16th century on a rocky promontory in the open sea, facing the Gironde estuary. It is still in use today, guiding ships as they sail past Bordeaux. It’s only accessible by boat – of course – and its visit leaves a lasting impression on all those who discover it, whatever their age.
It’s impossible to conclude this non-exhaustive list of French heritage close to Azureva vacation villages without mentioning, of course, Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay, a site you’ll be able to access quickly if you stay in our Azureva theme village of Hauteville-sur-Mer, Arts et Couleurs theme, in Normandy. A sworn guide can take you across the bay on foot, at low tide, for an original discovery of this emblematic site of Christianity and History.
