Fauna and Flora around the Lévézou

Nowadays, we are increasingly cautious about our surroundings, to our environment's quality and so to the variety of our fauna and flora. 

In Aveyron, our landscapes are still well preserved, which will delight the Nature lovers.

Today, it seems to me important to explain which type of plant and animal life are present on the Lévézou.

Let's start first with the Flora...

During the Summer, a lot of our campers are asking us some tips of advice about the hiking paths  which can be suggested all around the campsite. Hiking can be a very good way to enjoy the distinctive landscapes  of the region.
