Chateau Camping in France
Exactly 50 years ago, a novel idea was born. Georges Pilliet began to encourage chateau owners to open up their properties to campers. Some agreed, and the first outdoor hotel chain was born. It was called Les Castels. Today, there are 39 cha-teaux, country homes, and historic houses in the Castels family.
Many of these four-star campgrounds provide activities for the entire family. The campsites are located amidst magnificent landscapes with breath-taking views. Usually located on many acres of land, you have plenty of opportunities for peaceful relaxation.
Services include restaurants, bars, stores, Internet access, and ATM machines. Most of the Castels allow tents as well as RVs or camper-vans, although a few do not have tent sites available.
But what they all have is great quality at thrifty prices; a very affordable way to see France.
The best way to learn about the different properties is by visiting their website at http://www.les-castels.com/en.

Llama Trekking: Fall in Llama Love
by Ann N. Yungmeyer
Ever been curious about llama trekking? The “sport” has become increasingly popular in mountainous terrain, and one such place to try it is the Great Smoky Mountains. First, to clarify, you don’t ride a llama, you lead it along, and it can carry your pack, lunch, or camping gear. So, what’s the point? How exciting is that? Well, it’s all just for fun and it’s certainly a novel experience.
Llamas add a new dimension to hiking, especially if there are people in your party who are not keen on hiking just for the sake of getting out to enjoy the wilderness. Curious-looking creatures that they are (with features that resemble a giraffe, camel, ostrich and rabbit), llamas provide great entertainment along the trail. They are docile animals, and they are generally easier to lead than even a well-trained dog. Being of the animal species, llamas have distinct personalities so there’s always the chance for adventure or a few good laughs. (Beware of fallen trees in the trail, you may have to sweet talk your llama into jumping over it!)
