We have chosen the Auvergne using the pin technique.

There is the volcano national park.

Anyone know of any good biking or open swimming there or can recommend a camp site ?

Whereabouts? It's quite a large area. There is lift-assisted riding at a couple of the ski resorts (Super-Besse is one), and lots of other trails but finding them may be easier said than done without local knowledge.

Off there in September 🙂

Looks like there's plenty of trails out there - do some searches for VTT and see what comes up. Otherwise we've had good success in the past just asking in Tourist Info offices - they magic up lovely VTT trail maps 🙂

We're staying at [url= http://camping-des-blats.fr/ ]Camping Les Blats[/url] - ask me in a few weeks if its any good (they seem friendly enough though during the booking process.

Absolutely loving the searching process - some of the translations that come up are great. One campsite promised "Midget Golf" as an attraction!

have a great trip
