A superb natural site with a history of human settlement going back many centuries (Visigoth cemetery, early Romanesque chapel, mining village), Camplong's countryside has been fully rehabilitated and offers numerous amenities and activities. These include a recently created local heritage and nature centre (Maison de la Nature et des Monts d'Orb), holiday accommodation, scientific events on geological and botanical subjects, and theme rambles. Camplong is a hospitable and welcoming village.

Nestling in the narrow valley of the Espaze at the very heart of the Monts d'Orb hills and screened by century-old chestnut forests, Camplong, with its houses clustered around the main square, has the typical charm of small country villages.

Nature is omnipresent, not least in the form of the 1,000-hectare arboretum which makes Camplong the ideal starting place for rambles - after which you can take some well-earned relaxation in good company at Café Joucla, the former haunt of Camplong's miners, where Pauline will be delighted to serve you..
