As the summer season got off to a flying start for the French outdoor hospitality industry, flames burnt down emblematic campsites in the southwest of the country. These incidents did not prevent domestic and foreign tourists from pitching their tents in the thousands of campsites spread across France. This type of accommodation is constantly evolving and adapting to the new expectations of travellers. Seasoned campers now rub shoulders with neo-campers who want to experience new things as close to nature as possible without giving up comfort or technology.
