Holidaying on the European Continent has changed a great deal over the years and if you should decide to camp in France you will not be disappointed. Camp sites have become more like resorts and with the added convenience of mobile campers and fully equipped family tents, camping will never be the same again.
Relaxing and being entertained is easy when you are in France, they cater for a huge tourist industry, and many very attractive camp sites in both country and coastal setting are available. Moving from site to site when you are camping is also easy, you just pack up and move to a newer more beautiful place.
Campsites are very well maintained and organized in such a way that everyone’s needs are catered for. By planning your camping holiday carefully, you should be able to find a site that allows to close access to the sea shore and the countryside, this way you can explore miles of these areas, without even having to drive. Make sure you take your bicycles with you as you camp in France.
There are so many different areas in France where you will find beautiful camp sites. If you think the Cot ‘dAzure is only for the rich and famous think a gain. Take Gran and Grandad with you, they will love it too. Oh yeah, don’t forget the kids. They’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
Royan and Gascony are only two of the areas worth a mention, every where in France has something special to offer. Sea-shores, protected by high dunes, surrounded by the pine forests of La Coubre, has to sound like a wonderful landscape to anyone. The Valley of the River Charente is popular with campers and it is a Congnac making area. Oléron is an island accessible by bridge and it has great beaches as well as being home to a fantastic ancient Citadel.
Food and France work hand in hand, and restaurants proffer fine wines and even finer food to their guest. What money you save by camping, should be used to sample some of the local seafood and other fare. For really great wine making it is highly recommended that you pay a visit to the Médoc peninsula in Royan.
Just south of Bordeaux, you also find one of the most important oyster farming regions in the whole of France. Yes oysters are farmed, but perhaps in not the conventional sense! Bordeaux is also world renowned for the fine wine it produces and while the kids are entertaining themselves with organized activities at your campsite, you could be off enjoying some seriously adult fun, wine tasting!
