2007 was the year when the concept of Cowboy land was created, giving a new dimension to camping. The Villedieu les Poêles Campsite has been completely refurbished.
"Indien et Cowboy Land"
When La Lande d’Airou changed into the Wild West!

In 2007, Monsieur and Madame Eudes being passionate about the Indian civilisation, the horses and the country music decided to create this adventure site situated in La Landed’Airou (8km from Villedieu les Poêles) consisting of an Indian campsite with 4 tipees for 2 to 4 people, 2 wagons for 4 people, some Indian games and some horses. In terms of animation all is there: the possibility to take a ride in a horse and cart or in a limousine, country evenings, camp fires and a mini farm. For complete immersion, Mme Eudes advises you to come without a watch or a telephone! For the less adventurous, Mme Eudes can accommodate you in one of the bedrooms of the bed and breakfast.
