Why stay here ...

An attractive and peaceful site, Chanteloup is located close to Le Mans, making it ideal for quiet stays, stopovers and motor racing enthusiasts. Set in the park of a 19th century château and run by the welcoming Souffront family, it offers a friendly atmosphere to relax and the well-maintained facilities include a pool, bar and restaurant. It has open and shaded pitches, some of which overlook a small fishing lake. Tours of the grounds by pony and trap can also be arranged. 

Le Mans and its famous race track are less than 30 minutes’ drive from the site. Its quiet old town is perched above the bustling modern town and has some beautiful cobbled streets lined by timbered buildings. Each summer, the old town is illuminated by an impressive free light show called “La Nuit des Chimieres”.

Follow this and turn left into D313 signposted Coulaines and Mamers & Ballon. Turn right on to the D301 (at large supermarket) and after about 9 miles the site is signposted just after the entrance to Sillé-le-Philippe.

A top notch site

Can’t remember how many times we’ve stayed here, but we love it. We use it as a stopover on our way to the Dordogne. To be honest we could travel to our next stopover easily, but stay because we love the site so much. You pitch like a wagon trail when the Red Indians are on the war path, but this means you have neighbours at either side of you but no one in front or behind. There must be 30- 40 metres between you and the pitch opposite. Add to this spaciousness, excellent, clean facilities, lots for children to do, a very good on site restaurant, a lovely terrace to sit enjoying a drink from the chateau bar, friendly, welcoming staff and of course views of the chateau and you have a perfect site. We were sad to leave after just one night and we will stay for longer in the future as it is such a relaxing place.

Possibly the best site in the whole region!

Stayed just the one night enroute further south. Been here several times and always sad to leave. Greeted by the proprietor with a warm handshake, we are made to feel really welcome even if it’s a short stay. Grounds are beautiful and there is an excellent pool and children’s play area. Good restaurant and take away facility. Fresh bread and croissants delivered by a local baker. Very relaxing and a taste of the very best France has to offer.

A great site, great welcome, fantastic facilities and beautifully peaceful

We were pitched on the large area in front of the chateau building. The pitches are around the edge so the large open area in the middle gives a feeling of lots of space. The welcome and provided information was excellent. The facilities are clean and modern and plentiful. The onsite bar and restaurant and take away are reasonably priced and provide a decent range on the menu. Bread and croissants were available to buy without order each morning. The staff were polite and engaging. The lake and the grounds and woodland provided some nice area to explore and walk / cycle. The pool and surrounding lawned area was nicely kept and safe There are Loire villages driving routes a bit further afield; other than the city of Le Mans and its interesting old town and medieval feel you are a distance from other places for visits of interest so that might be a down side. It was a nice three night stopover on the way further South and on the basis of the experience of those 3 nights I will certainly book again and for longer. Relaxing, friendly and modern. There are a number of supermarkets and petrol stations between Le Mans and the site and Le Mans was easy to access by car and with plentiful parking.

Superb Site thanks to Hands On Owners and friendly staff

A superb site as befits the Castels Brand. We stayed 3 nights and could easily have stayed more. In fact we enjoyed site so much that we didnt bother going off site much. There was a farmers market visiting on Thurs evening and butcher offered to take orders for delivery on Sat. The owners are always around and make you very welcome giving out information. There is a lovely swimming pool with a garden setting and nice sun beds etc. Facilities are excellent and arranged in the various out buildings of chateau. Toilets etc are very modern and tastefully arranged inside the historic buildings. There is a nice bar/restaurant and small shop. The atmosphere on site was aamazing and on Sat evening most of us attended the site BBq to celebrate Bastille day. This was a fabulous evening and ended with torch light parade and fireworks in local village. We will defnitely return. Andy

Got this place completely wrong!

Booked this site really on the strength of the previous reviews, and have to confess to being a little underwhelmed when we arrived. Did not really seem to be much too it but I was completely wrong. Owners excellent - really involved. Loads to do. We were really sorry not to be there for the BBQ but really enjoyed a beer and wondering around the market on the Thursday evening which was excellent. Site facilities also excellent - really clean and modern toilets and showers. All in all highly recommended and well worth a visit!
