Where to go camping in France ? Let Les Castels guide you !
Go camping in Normandy: a getaway combining history and unspoilt nature
Beyond its D-Day beaches and famous cliffs, Normandy is brimming with hidden treasures. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family or friends, after a good night's sleep at your campsite at Château de Lez Eaux, head to Mont-Saint-Michel, just a stone's throw away. Have you set your heart on Le Brévedent or Le Château de Martragny campsites? Set off to explore the Val de Saire, with its unspoilt fishing villages and breathtaking coastal landscapes, far from the usual tourist routes. Then head to the Maison Submergée in Saint-Germain-sur-Ay: this house, swallowed up by sand and sea, is accessible at low tide. More of a foodie? Explore the charming villages of the Pays d'Auge by following the Cider Route. History buffs? Head to Caumont-l'Éventé, an underground village dating back to the Second World War, dug into the rock by the inhabitants to protect themselves from bombing.
Treat yourself to a holiday in central France
Creuse and Limousin, often overlooked by traditional tourist routes, are well worth a visit ! To see for yourself, spend your holiday at Château de Poinsouze or Château de Leychoisier and explore the giant maze in the Monts de Guéret: this plant maze is one of the largest in Europe. Then discover the Scénovision de Bénévent-l'Abbaye, a multimedia show that immerses you in the life of a medieval monk copyist. Need a little adrenaline boost? Explore the wild and unspoilt landscapes of the Creuse valley by kayak. You can then visit the village of Masgot, where every stone was carved in the 19th century by François Michaud, or the Moulin du Got, a 15th-century paper mill in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, which is still in operation. Take the opportunity to take part in a workshop to make your own sheet of paper and discover the history of printing !
Camping in Brittany: holidays with the scent of the sea !
During your stay at Domaine des Ormes, don't miss the opportunity to explore the Forest of Brocéliande, the birthplace of Arthurian legends. Stroll along the paths of this enchanted forest, where Merlin and the fairy Viviane are said to have once lived. For a touch of mystery, head for the megalithic alignments of Monteneuf, less well known than those of Carnac but just as fascinating. Thrill seekers will enjoy kayaking down the Rance, where green landscapes blend with tranquil waters. Don't miss Saint-Malo, a fortified pirate city, where you can stroll along its ramparts and immerse yourself in Brittany's maritime history.
Go camping in the Pays de la Loire region: visit castles and stroll along the ocean.
During your stay at Château de Chanteloup, let yourself be enchanted by the majesty of Château de Chambord, a jewel of the French Renaissance located on the edge of the region. Then immerse yourself in medieval history with a visit to the Château d'Angers, where you can admire the famous Apocalypse Tapestry. Have you stopped off at La Garangeoire campsite? Treat yourself to a trip to Les Sables d'Olonne, where the beaches and waves invite you to relax and enjoy water sports. It's the ideal place to go sailing, surfing or simply enjoy a stroll along the promenade. And for a touch of the unusual, the Salt Route by kayak, starting from Sallertaine, will take you on a journey of discovery through the region's ancient salt marshes, witnesses to ancestral know-how.
Camping holidays in the North: fall in love with the charm of Picardy
After relaxing at your campsite in La Bien-Assise, nestled on the Opal Coast, set yourself a slightly crazy challenge: paraglide over the majestic Blanc-Nez and Gris-Nez capes, the wind in your sails, for an adrenaline rush with panoramic views of the Strait of Dover. Continue the adventure by exploring Fort d'Ambleteuse at low tide, a historical gem that is only accessible when the sea recedes. In Picardy, let yourself be surprised by the Baie de Somme, a natural theatre where seals take centre stage during their migration. Take your adventure into the bowels of the earth with the underground passages of Naours, a labyrinth hidden beneath the fields, a living testimony to the survival strategies of yesteryear.
Welcome to Burgundy, for an unforgettable holiday at a 4- or 5-star campsite
In Burgundy, comfortably settled in your campsite at Château de l'Epervière, get ready for experiences that are out of the ordinary, far from traditional wine tastings. Embark on the adventure of a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, flying over vineyards and historic castles... a magical experience! For history buffs with a taste for adventure, a descent into the underground passages of the Motte-Ternant Fortress offers a journey through time in a forgotten underground labyrinth. And for those seeking a truly unique experience, why not take part in a truffle hunt in the mysterious forests of Burgundy, guided by an expert and his trusty dog ?
Camping in Ardèche: discover the treasures of Auvergne Rhône-Alpes
Have you decided to book a stay at Domaine de Sévenier, in the heart of the Ardèche Gorges? Imagine yourself canoeing or kayaking down the Ardèche with your partner, family or friends. Take your exploration further by venturing into the depths of the Aven d'Orgnac on a caving tour off the beaten track. And for a touch of living history, take part in a Gaulish-style pottery workshop in a reconstructed village, where you can mould clay like our ancestors did.
Nature and heritage in Gien: camping holidays in the heart of Sologne
