Located at the entrance to the Mercantour national park Le Fontarache is one of the most beautiful campsites with heated pool in the Provencal hinterland. Lac d’Allos and La Vallée des Merveilles, two jewels of this fabulous protected natural territory that extends through the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes, proudly stand side by side. After a day of hiking, you can enjoy the perfectly heated water of the pool. After the swim, relax while tanning in the sun lounge, thinking of all the mountain passes you will have to go through by bike or car: Lausfer pass, Larche pass, Allos pas, Lombarde pass, Cayolle pass, Tende pass, Vars pass, Braus pass, Fenestre pass, Parpaillon pass… In the meantime, let the older kids freshen up after their adventure at Jungle Park and toddlers regain their calm after the excitement of the paddling pool.
