2. A natural setting also accessible to rabbits and ferrets (NAC)

At Le Vieux Port 5* campsite in Messanges, we know how much your pets are precious members of your family. That's why we're delighted to welcome your adorable dogs and cats, as well as your rabbits and other new pets (NAC). Who said holidays had to be spent without the company of your furry friends?

Your new pets at the campsite

To ensure that all families, including those with animals in cages or pens, can enjoy their holiday, we have put in place a few guidelines. Most NACs, such as rabbits and ferrets, must remain in their cages or pens during your stay. As a campsite that accepts dogs and other animals, we are committed to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all our visitors.

Species restrictions for a safe stay

Our campsite is a haven for those looking for a pet-friendly campsite, but unfortunately some animals are not allowed. Horses and other large animals must stay outside our campsite, as we do not have suitable facilities such as grounds linked to riding schools. In addition, for everyone's safety, wild animals and protected species (such as reptiles or birds of prey) are not allowed.
