Favourite Sites in Europe

Looking at the ‘dream sites’ thread and missing my ‘over there’ fix this year, set me thinking about my favourite sites. It’d be interested in hearing about other’s favourite european sites. Here’s a few of mine for starters:

A long time favourite (many visits since the 1980s) is the Cevennes region of France. A favourite site in that region is Castel Rose near the lovely town of Anduze. The campsite has been taken over by a chain since I first went there but they’ve preserved the best of it while adding new facilities. A bit further up the beautiful River Gardon is Camping de l’Arche, also much expanded and developed in recent years, but still a great site.

In Italy I like Camping Aquileia near Grado which is a lovely resort on an Adriatic lagoon. The no frills site is within walking distance of a World Heritage site and was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire - check out the mosaics in the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta.

A more recent find is Autocamp Draga in Mošćenička Draga, Croatia. Fabulous site by a lovely town and beach and close the Opatija which is a very elegant resort ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’.
