Discover the village of Camon

Situated in the Ariège department, Camon is a jewel in the crown of south-western France, classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France.

Nicknamed the "village of a hundred roses" because of the many roses that adorn its streets, Camon offers an enchanting setting steeped in history.

Nestling in a meander of the Hers-Vif river, this small medieval village boasts authentic charm and an exceptional heritage.

Its abbey-castle, founded in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 15th century, is the historic heart of Camon, bearing witness to a rich religious and feudal past.

Every spring, the village celebrates the Rose Festival, an event that attracts visitors who come to admire the floral splendour and enjoy a convivial experience.

Camon is also the art of living in the south of France, with its local produce, nearby vineyards and unique serenity.

A true haven of peace for lovers of heritage and nature.
