We drove East, passing the Millau viaduct, and headed on up the Gorges du Tarn.
Really lucked out with this stunning site, a pitch by the river which we could swim in (strong current), a beautiful swimming pool and spa area and a pleasant terrace. The limestone cliffs the other side of the river Tarn were host to a vulture sanctuary and we could see them circling around the limestone outcrops. Everything incredibly clean.We debated for some time whether I was up to a 17 km 2 person canoe ride with Andy through the Gorge (available from the campsite 5-6 hour trip, dropping us off at La Malene). Andy understandably v keen, but the reception thought that the there were a few rapids to navigate that a complete beginner might not enjoy so much. Andy decided to go it alone but there were no other takers at the campsite (minimum of 4 needed) so he gave up on that plan. 
Fab cliffs ! Deliciously cold river in 30C heat
Again, only a fast traffic narrow road, lots of bends outside the campsite, no footpaths at all, and I didn't have the confidence to ride the electric bike to Riviere Sur Tarn, the nearest village. I developed a painful sunburn on my lower lip (not enough lip screen).
Kiddies pool I would love to take Amila to
What a view from the swimming pool!
