  • On the Route Napoléon, just outside the lavender village of Barrême
  • Valensole Plateau and Gorges du Verdon within an hour's drive
  • Swimming pool, pétanque, snack bar and river swims on site
Bleu, you say? Mais oui… Camping l’Or Bleu is in a part of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur that’s well known for its lavender fields that burst into shades of blues and purples every summer. To those shades of blue you may also be able to add some clear blue skies (fingers crossed for good weather) and the turquoise waters of the Gorges du Verdon and Sainte-Croix Lake – both of which are close by in the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Getting out to see those places (and the greens of the Mercantour National Park too) is straightforward, as this nifty site is just off the RN85 – aka Route Napoléon – for easy travels around the area. Also handy here is the village of Barrême, which is 10 minutes’ walk away for shops, bars and places to eat (and a museum that’ll give you an insight into the world of lavender farming). The folk here haven’t just relied on the location to make it a desirable place to stay, though – they’ve also set up a good stack of facilities including a swimming pool, a pétanque court, a playground and a snack bar to keep you amused, fed and watered in between outings. There’s also a peaceful stretch of river running just past the site, so you can cool off down there if you prefer to take your dips in fresh water.

Power optional grass site

Liked Pitch was decent size, toilet and shower facilities mixed sex and clean enough! No toilet roll so must take your own! They have a few animals on site which were cute to see (pig, goat and some rabbits) pool looked clean and a small park area for little 1s. Site best suited for those with younger children. Short drive away to part of the Verdon gorge (much quieter lake) where you can rent boats, paddle boards etc. The main part of Verdon gorge most popular is an hours drive which was very busy on arrival and the car park very uneven and difficult to navigate around.

Disliked Area a little boring not much around within walking distance except a small town where most shops appear to be closed down. The stream close by was extremely shallow and not suitable for swimming you might get your feet in but that’s about it. We got the WiFi code but would not work on camping area 🙄

Power optional grass site

Liked The host was friendly enough. Pool and play areas.

Disliked Scruffy site. We are well traveled in France (6 weeks last year, 5 weeks this year) so we have seen many sites. No phone signal for EE or O2. We were booked in for 6 nights, but after pitching the caravan and taking a look around - we hitched up and drove away. On site for less than an hour.

Power optional grass site

Liked Nice big, open pitch with lots of sunlight. Easy to find and friendly welcome. Clean facilities (no loo roll) and very warm showers.

Disliked Nice pool, but it was was pretty busy when we arrived in the afternoon - was quieter by the evening.

Site can be a bit noisy at times as lots of people staying in the fixed accommodation seem to know each other.

Local attractions

Barrême’s a fab spot to hang out in for the many outdoorsy activities available around the area – the team on site can point you in the right direction for paragliding, fishing, rafting, bike routes and lots of lovely hikes (perhaps among the lakes, forests and peaks of the Mercantour National Park, an hour’s drive away). For the very best of those lavender views, venture to the Valensole Plateau (50 minutes’ drive) for fields full of the fragrant flowers. If you’re more into the blues of natural waters, get set for watersports at Sainte-Croix Lake or kayak and rafting trips through the Gorges du Verdon. Both are about an hour away by car, with views to be had while hiking/biking/driving if you don’t fancy taking to the water. Slowing the pace is simple, too – take wanders around the gardens and Gassendi museum in Digne-les-Bains (half an hour’s drive) before settling in for a spa soak, or stop by in Castellane (half an hour), Annot (45 minutes) and Entrevaux (50 minutes) for pretty strolls.
