Koko Holidays at Camping Les 3 Lacs du Soleil

This Rhône-Alpes site is within reach of Lyon (an hour's drive) and the Vercors mountains (roughly an hour), putting heaps of spectacular scenery within your reach. Urban explores around Lyon, France's food capital, are likely to be accompanied by all sorts of agreeable flavours, while over in the mountains Grenoble (an hour and 10 minutes) is well worth a visit to see its world-class galleries and riverside museums. Sticking closer to the local area, Crémieu (10 minutes) has ruined ramparts and castles from the Middle Ages, as well as a popular annual medieval festival that sees the locals dusting off their suits of armour. You might also like to head towards the Rhône and sparking Glandieu falls (30 minutes) or to make tracks for one of the several renowned distilleries in the Chartreuse Massif (an hour). Gearing up your itinerary to keep the kids happy? Your best bet could well be Walibi Rhône-Alpes (30 minutes), a theme park with dozens of different attractions, or Vallée Bleue (20 minutes), an outdoor activities centre where they can try their hand at mountain biking, kayaking, go-karting and waterskiing.
