1- Visit the Charance estate.
Located just 11km from Camping Le Parc des Sérigons, this immense and wooded estate of 220 hectares offers many shaded walking trails, conducive to relaxation and daydreaming.
You can walk along it and enjoy an exceptional view of the city of Gap, sit by the lake, where time stands still…and observe the ducks, the fish, and immerse yourself in beauty and serenity.
You will then visit the castle and stroll through its terraced gardens, enjoying the delicate fragrance of 600 varieties of roses. Their intoxicating scents will remind you of rose gardens of yesteryear. These same gardens also showcase, in an original, harmonious, and dynamic way, a multitude of wild and cultivated plants: from the sweet rose of Rescht to the airy grace of grasses.
You will be amazed.
Plan a bucolic picnic in this exceptional, calm and relaxing setting and let yourself be lulled by the song of the cicadas and the gentle sound of running water.
It's the perfect place to recharge! Here, everything is calm, luxurious, and pleasurable…
