Thinking of a French holiday conjures up images of wine, cheeses, cathedrals, and of course, the romantic capital of Paris. A lot more can be enjoyed in France if you decide to stay away from Paris though, and to get your family to know the rest of France a lot more cheaply is to stay at a campsite for a self-catered holiday. Whether you plan to explore the northern, central, or southern regions of the country, there is a Eurocamp France campsite that you can stay at. Eurocamp campsites are known to have excellent facilities, both for those who are bringing their own touring caravans or camping equipment, or are staying at the static caravans on site.
In Northern France, you will not regret choosing to take your family to Brittany. This pictureque region has a long coastline where you will find sandy beaches, hidden coves, and scenic harbours. There are also medieval towns and several fishing villages that are just waiting to be explored. Examples of Eurocamp parcs in Brittany are the La Grande Metairie [i]for families with young children, Chateau des Ormes [ii]if you want to sneak in a few rounds of golf, and the L’Atlantique[iii] which several water activities on offer both at its swimming pool complex or at the beach right on the parc’s doorstep.
Nature lovers who like to have long leisurely drives, picnics in tranquil settings, boat trips in lakes, or hiking amidst mountain peaks should try spending their breaks or family holidays in any of the Eurocamp facilities in the French Alps. For a lakeside holiday, a recommended parc is the Camping Les Fontaines. This three-star campsite also has great mountain views, providing a perfect backdrop to the parc’s excellent facilities. Also surrounded by mountains is the La Ferme de la Serraz. This campsite provides a perfect base for exploring nearby villages, taking guided walks, or driving to nearby Italian or Swiss towns. Eurocamp also has holiday villages with apartment-style self-catering accommodation in the region.
If you want to check out what makes France’s infamous holiday spots tick, why not spend a few days in the south of France. There are several Eurocamp France campsites in Provence that can serve as your base when exploring star-studded St. Tropez and Cannes. A peaceful and relaxing holiday can also be found here particularly when you visit the old towns of Nice and Grasse. Spending your holiday at Eurocamp campsites, especially the recommended La Baume and Camp du Verdon will give you the chance to fully explore this part of France for as long as you want and at your own pace without an expensive price tag.
