The Guinguette at Camping Vert Lavande: Our Story, Your Nature Getaway in Aveyron
Our Dream, in Tune with Nature
Our story is simple: it is one of passion for sharing and the art of living in Occitanie.
At the heart of Camping Vert Lavande, we dreamed of a place where laughter blends with the sound of the nearby river, where local products take center stage, and where everyone immediately feels on holiday.
This is how our Bar-Guinguette was born, a warm and welcoming space where music and festive atmosphere are always present.
Settle comfortably on the covered terrace of Guinguette Vert Lavande and enjoy a precious moment of relaxation in front of nature while savoring a local tapas board.
Here, we simply invite you to enjoy the moment.
Breakfasts at Vert Lavande
Indulge in our delicious offer, built around an excellent locally roasted coffee from Aveyron. To accompany it, enjoy a handcrafted fruit juice made with passion by a young local company from our village! It’s the perfect way to support local producers first thing in the morning! And depending on your mood, choose from:
– The traditional breakfast, gentle and comforting, with toasted bread, butter, and jam,
– The sporty breakfast, ideal before a hike or a day of exploration,
– Or the savory option, with Aveyron charcuterie and cheese to start the day the local way!
A true moment of pleasure to savor on the terrace or in the shade of the trees, enjoying the peaceful morning.
A Taste of the Terroir in Every Season
Our menu is an ode to authentic cuisine and the flavors of Aveyron.
In mid-season, tradition takes center stage:
When the evenings bring their first cool breezes, we celebrate hearty, characterful dishes.
It’s the perfect opportunity to savor specialties we are proud of, such as Calf’s Head with Gribiche Sauce or Lamb Sweetbreads, a true Aveyron delicacy.
In the height of summer, flavors come alive
During the summer, pleasure is the focus. We highlight grilled flavors with a delicious Aubrac Beef Steak (our local pride!) or our crisp, colorful salads made from fresh local produce.
And for a truly indulgent journey, don’t miss our must-try Mussels in Roquefort Sauce, a tribute to the emblematic taste of our region.
Aperitif Surrounded by Nature
Every evening at the Vert Lavande Camping Guinguette, the ritual is the same: as the sun casts its last golden rays over the landscape, with the river as a backdrop, come and enjoy a glass of locally selected wine or beer, perfect for a gentle summer evening. And at any time of the day, relax on our terrace and savor one of our generous ice cream sundaes — a pure, refreshing moment of happiness!
Picnic Baskets
To extend the nature experience beyond the campsite, we also prepare takeaway picnic baskets.
Perfect for hikers, motorcyclists, or horse riders, they are available in individual or group options.
Each basket showcases simple, fresh, and local products, ready to enjoy on the go in the heart of Aveyron.
Just remember to reserve in advance so that everything is ready on the day!
What Our Guests Say...
"A small charming campsite where you feel right at home. The welcome is incredible, always with a smile and genuine attention. The guinguette is great, the river is just a stone's throw away, and the village is lively. We will come back without hesitation!
And don't forget the guinguette – the dishes served are of extremely high quality and generous. Javier in the kitchen and Véronique in the dining area are very modest, as we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our meals. Indeed, seeing locals at other tables confirms that the food is good and the atmosphere is friendly." - Google Review 2025

Today's Specials: Friendliness on the Menu!
At Camping Vert Lavande, our cuisine breathes freedom and pleasure. Here, there’s no fixed menu: we work with the “Daily Specials” to adapt to market arrivals, the season, and sometimes even… the weather! The result: simple, flavorful dishes, always made with heart.
From Plate to Camping: A Taste of Home
We don’t grow our own vegetables, but we cultivate something far more precious: conviviality. Around a good meal, we share, laugh, and reconnect — just like at home, but on vacation.
Local and Authentic Flavors
Whenever the season allows and local producers delight us, we highlight fresh, local products: crisp salads, sun-ripened tomatoes, Aveyron cheeses, and charcuterie from the neighboring farm. Honest, simple, and flavorful cuisine that celebrates our region and those who bring it to life.
Careful Selection
Every ingredient is chosen with care and high standards. Freshness, quality, and authenticity are the guiding principles of our daily cuisine.
Wines & Relaxation
And because a good meal should be savored to the last bite, we offer a selection of wines that pair perfectly with our dishes and the relaxed atmosphere of our summer evenings.
In the kitchen as in the campsite, we do what we love first and foremost. And when you cook with passion, the pleasure naturally ends up… on the plate!
