Discovering Les Castels La Garangeoire campsite

Would you like to introduce yourself ?

I am Anne de Kerautem, the granddaughter of the founders of camping La Garangeoire, where I spent the Summer holidays of my childhood and worked during the season. In 2006, during my forties, my husband Eric Bourgon and I made the choice to leave our professional and family life, established in the Paris, to continue the operation of the family camping enterprise.

What is your role within your The Castels campsite ?

We share the operational direction of the campsite and we are both very hands on, both with our employees and the guests that we welcome.

When did your campsite begin?  Can  you describe it for us ? 

Created in 1964, classified as 4 stars from the beginning we welcomed 200 campers.Our property is spread over  200 hectares, and at the heart  the campsite was intended to have many diverse activities, in addition to farming and forestry. At La Garangeoire, each location has a bird or a flower’s  name, there are no numerals ! Certified Ecolabel, the campsite now offers 350 sites, half of which are reserved for traditional camping-caravanning and numerous sports or outdoor activities.

What are your values and  ambitions for the future ?

We try to constantly adapt to the expectations of our guests, in terms of quality of services provided and hospitality. We are always committed to remain  faithful to the original values of the creators who made  Les Castels the success it is today which are : Environment, Courtesy and Comfort.
