Nature
The country of the Verdon has unexpected resources. You will find different activities such as nature and water sports, living arts and crafts, picturesque places, amazing landscapes, old villages, fields of lanvender and wild boars : the Provence of Jean Giono.
And a unique natural environment, topography, climate, vegetation and fauna (all that wild or tame). You will find an especially intense relaxation in an environment both wild and domestic, where nature has retained its strength and the man carries a strong effect.
In addition to the typical Provencal landscapes, lavender, poppies, sheep, almond trees, blackberry bushes, truffle oaks, garrigues (typical vegetation of southern France, small struikjes) and pine groves ... there is also the park of the Verdon river.
The country of the Verdon is a protected area for wildlife, there are many partridges, rabbits, deer and wild boar and it happens that they are in the summer is around the campsite.
The whole summer is the season of the insects. There are no mosquitoes in the summer drought (except in the forest during the wet years, it is to say almost never, and certain sites on the site). And there are cicadas, sometimes deafening, and replaced by crickets at night. The grasshoppers, blue, green, yellow and red, which by dozens of flying at each step that you put in the wild grass.
The flies are the ones that least annoy. In competition with the wasps. Fortunately, the two never simultaneously we have years and years with the flies with wasps, with an overwhelming predominance of one of the two species.
For the site: remember to discard the wasps traps . Although useful, it is ugly.
In the case of the fly, remember to clean your waste in a well-sealed packaging
About waste selective sorting, the standards are still not in force at the campsite and the necessary resources are absent. You can find in the immediate vicinity of all villages in the park of the Verdon containers specially designed for glass, plastic, etc. ...
Animals of the site. Besides insects, there are more or less fascinating animals that can cheer up your pitch, and some may even visit your tent. No snakes! Do not worry, the country is too dry for them, and the shores of the lakes are too busy in high season.
So, no poisonous snakes. In the most humid years, you can find hazel worms, salamanders and toads.
There are many "dormouse", like squirrels, long and black. Summer is the season of love and there is activity in the trees and then it sounds sharp.
Badger likes sugar and strong smells! Should your hiking socks and your chocolate tablets lying : the badger will take both. Once we have beenvisited by a fox. It's like the badger, but it is smarter and more sensitive, but it takes all it can eat.
Sometimes, we can see boars.
All animals are frightened and flights as soon as they smell a human presence.
Fishing. The Verdon is fishy. In Artignosc, you can find trouts.
The birds. Summer is not the best season for the birds. In the spring, the nightingale, the red borstjes and titmice food search to your door.There are also eagles that rabbits spy.
If you want to hunt or fish in Artignosc you will have to get a licence.
Here, nature is powerful. If you are insensitive to, you will still feel the same calm quality that one finds here. If you pay attention, your stress will reduce and you grow calmer.
