Campsite in France

The French coastlines are very popular tourist destinations. Holidaymakers love to relax on the long beaches dotted along the coast. From North to South, there is so much to do. 

From Dunkirk to Saint Malo, not-to-mention Le Havre or Deauville, the towns along the English Channel and the Atlantic Coast all feature vast stretches of white sand, great places to go for a walk. The regions of Brittany, Normandy, Charente-Maritime or Poitou Charentes are just four examples of regions that are also well-known for the extraordinary architecture. 

The Silver Coast and the Basque country coast are well-known surf spots, and also popular for their traditions. In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, come and discover the Basque pelota sport, the férias and the farmer’s markets. 

In the South, the Mediterranean Sea and the particularly sunny climate there make the beaches of the Vermilion Coast and the French Riviera particularly attractive. You will fall in love with the landscapes and enjoy the entertainment on offer at the seaside towns from Argelès sur Mer over to Menton not-to-mention Port Barcarès, La Grande Motte, La Ciotat and Saint Tropez.

We offer hiking in the Ardèche or in the mountains of Corsica for our most athletic campers. The lakes and rivers of France invite you to experience other activities, whether peaceful or intense. The Verdon Gorges reveal breathtaking landscapes, and water sports and nature activities play an important role there. Lake Annecy in Haute-Savoie, Lake Sainte-Croix in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Lake Biscarrosse and Parentis, and the Cazaux-Sanguinet pond in the Landes await you for swimming or an introduction to kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding

Do you know why French cuisine is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage? It's because of its unmatched regional diversity. From local producers to Michelin-starred restaurants, from regional specialties to the most daring recipes, the reputation of French cuisine speaks for itself.

There is the chance to taste traditional regional dishes in Gers, in the Dordogne-Périgord and in the Basque Country for those who want to try local cuisine on their camping trip. Local markets are full of fresh produce, perfect for an outdoor picnic. Don't forget to try AOP cheeses like Camembert from Normandy or Roquefort. For wine enthusiasts, the wine routes of Bordeaux, Burgundy, or Alsace promise memorable tastings.

The big metropolitan areas of France put aside a large share of their budget to ensure the protection of cultural and historical treasures. All over France, the history of the country is kept alive thanks to the many cultural events. You will enjoy exploring the different characteristics of each region, as well as the delicious local specialities on offer. 

Paris, the capital city, is famous for the big-name fashion houses, museums, including the famous Louvre, and iconic monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Push open the doors to the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral or the Château of Versailles to learn all about the fascinating history. 

As the second largest city in France in terms of population, Lyon is also a popular choice for visitors. It is well-known for the famous Lights Festival which highlights the sheer beauty of the monuments, and the city is brimming with various places to explore along the banks of the Rhône River. Fourvière Cathedral, the Park of the Golden Head, the characteristic “traboule” streets of Vieux Lyon, and Place Bellecour are just some of the main places of interest, for a fantastic journey back in time. 

Come and explore the sunny harbour town of Marseille. The Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica overlooks the city, offering a 360° panoramic view of all the must-sees of the town, including the Panier District, Palais Longchamp, the Old Harbour or the MuCEM museum. Come and see with your own eyes the wonders of the Calanques National Park, and set off on a hiking expedition and swim in the superb coves.
