A good trip means some good treks and some time to relax and charming villages.
The only true holidays are in the confort of your tent or caravan, staying in one place for the whole time so you can get to know your neighboors and take aperos with them and enjoying the beach. There's nothing like camping!
You travel only by car or van, which is your second home during a trip.
You like moving from places to places, but enjoy staying in a good place for a while, as long as there are a good spot to spend the night. (TODO ask if stay in hotel or in car/van so we'll look for camping car spots)

History
The name of the Lords of Salers has been mentioned in important documents since
the 11th century; proud knights who took part to the 1st and 7th Crusades. Under
the protection of the castle, the small village prospered. Several times pillaged
and ransomed, the inhabitants obtained the right to build ramparts around the
high part of the village in 1428 and so could resist attacks from Protestants and
Ligurians. The remaining gateways will remind you of the town’s defensive past. In
1666, Salers lost its castle razed to the ground by order of the King after the judgment
of the Baron during the “Great Days of Auvergne”. That is why you can only see the
site of the building today. The previous greatness of Salers found expression in the
“Renaissance” architecture before the Bailliwick of the High Mountains of Auvergne
was established. Salers became a judicial and administrative seat following the Edict
of Henri II in 1550 but trade was the first wealth of Salers (wool, cheeses and mules).
The Revolution ended the Bailliwick and the prosperity of the city simultaneously.
From the main square with its mansions to more popular streets, do not forget to go
to the church dedicated to Saint Mathew. Composite in style, inside a Holy Sepulchre
dating from the 15th century and tapestries from the 17th century from FelletinAubusson
workshops are worth the detour. At the extremity of the city, the Barrouze
esplanade looks over the Maronne and the Aspre valleys with a view towards the
Puy Violent.
