1 Llo with children, first stop on our French Cerdanya route of thermal waters in France
Soak in Llo's baths.
The baths are hot springs and there are pools both indoors and outdoors. Surely the exteriors being able to enjoy them with all the snowy surroundings must be much more impressive. The adult ticket is € 14, children € 10 and children under 3 years do not pay.

2 Ferme du Rialet in La Llagonne in a motorhome or campervan
We recommend, as a second stop on a route through the French Cerdanya with children, visit the Ferme du Rialet, a farm that opens in the afternoons in summer to make educational visits to children where they can see different animals and feed these animals. The explanations of the monitors, yes, are in French.
The animals we saw are pigs, horses, ponies, chickens, goats, rabbits, sheep, and cows. The youngest were able to bottle-feed calves.
You can also buy cheese that they produce and yogurts that are delicious!
3 Mont-Luis and Lake of the Bouillouses by motorhome or camper, 3rd stop on the route through the French Cerdanya with children
Lake of the Bouillouses by motorhome or camper, 3rd stop.
We slept in the Mont-Lluís area (N 42 ° 30'27 «E 2 ° 7'19.416») for € 7 a night and the next morning we got up early to go on an excursion to the lake.
In order to access with your vehicle, it must be done at 18:7 p.m. until XNUMX:XNUMX a.m. After that time, access is restricted to buses.
We parked in the closest car park (N 42 ° 31'17.1012 ”E 2 ° 5'48.93”) and took the bus that leaves you up at the lake.
Dogs do not pay but it is mandatory to wear a muzzle (if you don't have one, don't worry, they sell them at the same bus ticket offices).
When we got to the top we decided to go on a tour of the Lakes of the Esquitxs. A set of lakes with a very beautiful landscape. We fell in love!
You can also access the Bouillouses lake with Chairlift from Font Romeu ski resort.
4 Les Angles by motorhome or camper and the Animalier Park
We went to the Les Angles Animaliers Park before visiting the Matemale Lake, we decided to go visit this animal park.
The ticket price is € 15 for adults, € 13 for children and children under 4 years old do not pay. Within the park you can follow two routes, one longer and the other a little shorter.
With the long one we were all morning. There are many animals, with the heat many are hidden and it is difficult to see them, but what we liked the most and surprised us were the wolves. There was a family of wolves with their young and we could see how they interacted and played (very difficult to see these scenes). We liked it a lot!

The park is open all year round and there is a motorhome area with light right next to the park and the ski slopes (N 42 ° 33'47.5272 «E 2 ° 4'5.52»). The views of Lake Matemale are brutal!
5 Lake Matemale by motorhome or camper, 5th stop on our route through French Cerdanya in a motorhome with children
Visit Lake Matemale. It is an artificial reservoir or rather a swamp in the Capcir area. Surrounded by ski slopes, in winter it must be spectacular. The truth is that we really liked it.
In summer you can do various activities: go by boat, kayak, paddle surf, go around the lake on horseback, we prefer to do the return walking, about 9km, you pass over the dam and it is surrounded by grazing cows.

Before it was possible to access the other side of the lake with a motorhome, now its access is quite restricted and you can only spend the night in the motorhome area (N 42 ° 34'44.8392 «E 2 ° 5'43.9332»), to be able to access the area You need a card that the same machine can issue it to you (€ 5 the card that already serves you for other AC areas of this same Camping-Car Park company).
They are € 13 per night, next door there is a car park enabled for motorhomes but without any service and it is really small. A very touristy but beautiful area.

There are 5 routes, each route is marked by colors and at the end of the route there is a great surprise, only for the bravest, we encourage you to discover it. All zip lines are suitable for children from 3 years old, always accompanied by an adult. Our 4-year-old Arlet did the whole circuit to the end and enjoyed it like the most! A brutal and brave experience.

On the way we discovered a space to spend the day (N 42 ° 33'4.3884 ”E 1 ° 51'31.0212”), just before reaching Tyrovol, next to the river where people were camping.
