About Camping Le Clos Auroy

The camp-site is situated at about 300 meters from the center of the picturesque village of Orcet. Orcet is situated at about 10 kilometers south of the city of Clermont-Ferrand.

Orcet is a little village with 2500 inhabitants. This mediaeval village has got some very old houses and narrow alleys. In former days there used to be a lot of wine-culture in this area and this wine was stocked beneath the houses in wine-cellars. For that reason there are still a lot of houses which possess a peculiar frontage. There are still some wine-growers left who sell their wine to tourists.

In Orcet within walking distance from the camp-site there are several shops, amongst them two bakeries, two hairdressers, a few bars, a restaurant, a grocery-shop, some wine-growers, a post-office and a pharmacy.

The camp-site is situated within two Nature Reserves, namely the "Parc des Volcans d'Auvergne" and the "Parc Naturel Regional Livradois Forez". The "Parc des Volcans", is the most famous due to the "Puy de Dome" known for the Tour de France.
