CAMPING PARADIS

In 2020, twelve Campings Paradis will open their doors on the model of the TF1 series. One of them is located in Mirande. He hopes that the TV film's fame will give it high visibility. Following the launch of a franchise transforming the series into a real concept, the Île du Pont de Mirande municipal campsite has decided to go ahead. After having been selected following the notices left, the number of stars and the developments made, the Camping Paradis de l'Île du Pont opened its doors in April. With a few improvements. "As in the series, there is an arch at the entrance of the campsite, made of wood with the inscription "Bienvenue à Camping Paradis" in blue. Also present are a golfette, light blue polo shirts and all the signs of the show, promises Gilles Laupies, director of the Gers tourist establishment. "This obliges us to change the whole graphic charter of the campsite". The famous Fiesta Boom Boom on Friday evening, the traditional local TV movie night, will of course be reproduced in Mirande. The campsite's 58 mobile homes, 12 chalets and 75 bare pitches are full during the summer. But "with Camping Paradis, we hope to welcome more people during the opening period, from April to October. ", explains the director. Between seven and eight people work during the high season to ensure a good stay for tourists, not counting the people in charge of housekeeping. Every year, visits to local producers, sports tournaments, bike rides and activities for children take place at the Ile du Pont campsite. And this year will be no exception. But "the friendly and family spirit of Camping Paradis" should be added this year.
