Natural Setting & Swimming

Swimming and Fishing in the Rivers Around Les Cruses Campsite

At the foot of the labelled village of Ribes, and surrounded by three rivers – La Baume, Drobie, and Alune – Les Cruses campsite enjoys an exceptional setting with a friendly, family-oriented, and natural atmosphere.

Alune: Located at the foot of the campsite, this small river is perfect for cooling off and discovering local wildlife and flora. You can also take the Beaver Trail, where the presence of beavers is revealed by the trees they’ve felled, as they are hard to spot.

La Beaume and Drobie: Just a 15-minute walk from the campsite, the Beaume and Drobie rivers stretch over 20 km. Here you’ll find clear, fast-flowing waters ideal for swimming, diving from rocks, and enjoying wild, secluded spots where you’ll feel like you’re alone in the world. These rivers are well known among our fishing friends for rainbow trout. Nature fishing workshops, supervised by instructors, are also offered by the AAPPMA. Fishing permits are available exclusively online via this link.
