Our Ari\u00e8ge partners <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

At the campsite near Foix<\/a> La Roucateille, we\u2019re convinced that the best holidays are also made outside the campsite. Ari\u00e8ge is full of hidden gems<\/strong>: passionate providers, talented craftspeople, breathtaking natural spots\u2014and we\u2019re committed to opening the doors to them for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin, it’s important to highlight the exceptional support Delphine and Gilles received for the development and financing of the campsite’s takeover in 2020, with local partners such as: the CCI<\/strong>, Initiative Ari\u00e8ge<\/strong>, the Department<\/strong>, and the Region<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, they have forged strong ties with local partners who share their values: authenticity, quality, and a love for the region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
