Florent, the driving force behind the revival at Le Valenty campsite!

23 April 2026

What was once a small farm campsite has been transformed into a peaceful retreat for holidaymakers seeking nature and authenticity. In just six years, Florent Boulesques has achieved an impressive transformation. A local born and bred and a former rugby player with the unmistakable accent of southwest France, he has revealed the full potential of this beautiful natural setting. While preserving its friendly, family atmosphere, he has brought the campsite up to modern standards with swimming pools and water slides, children’s play areas, comfortable accommodation, and an authentic atmosphere. The result is a charming nature campsite in the Lot offering all the facilities of a larger holiday park while keeping the warmth of a small, family-run campsite.

A beautiful natural setting to truly unwind — Florent immediately recognised the hidden gem that Le Valenty Campsite represented. Woodland, orchards, vineyards and panoramic views create an exceptional environment. Great care is taken to preserve the site’s biodiversity and natural spaces, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful holiday in perfect harmony with nature.

An original concept for unforgettable holidays — Moving away from the standardised holiday park model, Florent has created a friendly campsite designed for families and nature lovers. A self-service organic vegetable garden, traditional-style entertainment, activities organised by guests themselves, and a car-free campsite concept all contribute to making Le Valenty a truly unique place to stay.

An eco-friendly campsite combining comfort with environmental responsibility — Florent has created a campsite that offers everything today’s holidaymakers expect, including swimming pools, water slides, games and comfortable accommodation, while embracing a genuine eco-friendly philosophy. Several leisure facilities were purchased second-hand and carefully restored, giving them a new lease of life. The campsite also implements numerous practical environmental initiatives to help protect the surrounding environment. At Le Valenty Campsite, you can enjoy a relaxing holiday while contributing to more sustainable tourism.

Florent, the heart and soul of the campsite — From the moment you arrive, Florent’s warm southwest French welcome puts you straight into holiday mode. Originally from nearby Lot-et-Garonne, he takes great care of every guest and loves sharing his passion for the Occitanie region. Over the years, he has created a unique atmosphere where friendliness, authenticity and the gentle pace of life come together to make every stay memorable.

Florent is much more than the owner of Le Valenty Campsite—he is also its host, entertainer and ambassador, welcoming every guest with genuine warmth and simplicity.
