4-STAR CAMPSITE NEAR LYON
LAC DE PALADRU, 1H AWAY

1h from Lyon, Lac de Paladru opens a quiet parenthesis between forests and freshwater. Camping Détente et Clapotis welcomes you in Montferrat, on the southern shore of one of France’s most beautiful lakes, for family stays where you take time to breathe. Escaping without going far, finding slowness again after a busy urban week: it’s all here, just off the motorway.

Nature 1h from your door

People who live in Lyon know it well: the quality of a weekend is not measured in kilometres. A few minutes after leaving the city via the A43, you already follow the first hills of the Bas-Dauphiné. A little later you park under the trees of the campsite, windows down — and if you want to plan your overnight in detail, see also our overnight campsite between Lyon and Grenoble page; windows down, the air has already changed. Six wooded hectares, only 183 pitches, lanes where the wind in the pines is mostly what you hear: density stays low, space generous. The perfect counterpoint to active life.

A family stay designed for you

Here, children rediscover a freedom they often lack in the city. The heated indoor pool stays open whatever the weather, the Lac de Paladru beach is reachable on foot from the campsite, and the Clapotins Kids Club accompanies 4 to 12 year-olds through nature workshops, games and supervised group time. Parents enjoy the private spa of the Natura Lodges, evenings by the water, the rediscovered silence. For livelier days, Walibi Rhône-Alpes is just 26 minutes from the campsite, easy to fit into a stay of a few days.

How to get here from Lyon

The most direct route takes the A43 towards Chambéry, exit “La Tour-du-Pin Est”. Then follow the D1006 towards Les Abrets and the signs to Lac de Paladru, all the way to Montferrat. Allow around one hour in normal conditions, for 75 kilometres in total. For a car-free option, you can reach Voiron by TER from Lyon Part-Dieu station, then take a taxi or shuttle for the last eight kilometres to the campsite.
