Local Events

From the fast to the folkloric, Le Mans is synonymous with the 24 hour race that takes place on the 18th and 19th June, while gentler souls may prefer the Loire Valley Festival from 7th to 13th June at Amboise. Then there is the International Garden Festival from 30th April to 16th October, in the idyllic grounds of Chaumont sur Loire chateau.

Out and about

The Royal palace, Château de Chambord is just 6 miles away, one of the most extravagant in the region and well worth the visit, day or night. Slightly further out is the beautifully romantic Château de Chenonceau. Also visit the narrow streets of Tours for a spot of shopping and a bite to eat, and marvel at its Gothic cathedral. For walkers and cyclists, there are many forests and parks waiting to be explored. Finally for chocolate lovers there's the Max Vauche Chocolate Factory, just 15km away.

Local Directions

From the A10 motorway: Leave the A10 at the Mer exit (Junction 16) and follow signs for ‘Chambord’ and ‘Mer’. At the traffic lights in Mer turn left towards ‘Chambord’. This takes you across the River Loire and to a crossroads. Go straight over this crossroads and after about a mile you will come to a very small junction on your right-hand side (Take care at this point as the junction is not clearly signposted and is easy to miss). Take this turning and you will find the campsite on your right after 500yds.
