Good for families

Lovely traditional rustic French campsite set around a fabulous château.

Quintessentially typical French campsite. Approached via a long drive almost 500 metre long bordered on each side by ancient oak trees. It has a very natural appearance where the pitches have been set out to blend in with the facilities and give it a rustic feel. Predominantly British holiday makers make full use of this particular location. Centred around a large château and its many outbuildings the facilities are generally good although in some may be looking a little bit tired. Pitches are generous in size with plenty of trees to give welcome shade when needed. The estate around the Château is quite heavily forested as a result you are back to nature especially with the abundant wildlife including a number of creepy crawlies!! Plenty of nice walks leading from the site through the woods into the surrounding countryside and local villages. Facilities on site include two toilet blocks and a third one when the side gets really busy, nice courtyard around the side of the Château with restaurant, reception, games room, washing up facilities and cafe / shop. Bread and croissants available every morning if pre ordered the previous day. In addition down by the swimming pool there is the ‘Orangerie’ with its bar which opens late afternoons and evenings. As previously mentioned the site has a very relaxed atmosphere about it and whilst we were there was not particularly busy which suited us. Split into two sections with one side is very much a picture setting in amongst the trees giving very welcome shade, on the other side a little bit more open and closer to the play areas, swimming pool and surrounding facilities. Plenty of places to visit within easy travel distance including Tours, Amboise and Blois plus many of the Loire’s famous château. If you’re looking for pristine hedge trimmed hedge bordered pitches with nicely mown grass and proper made up roadways then this is not for you. For us it was perfect and reminds us of some of the sites when we first came to France in the 80s and 90’s. We love it and will return.
