  • Family-friendly site on the shores of the Étang au Duc in Brittany
  • Ploërmel and Loyat 10 minutes’ drive; Brocéliande Forest 15 minutes
  • Sports courts, watersports and fishing available; lakeside snack bar
With a spectacular setting on the side of the Étang au Duc – Brittany’s largest lake – family-friendly Camping du Lac au Duc is a peaceful and welcoming site with pitches tucked under the shade of oak and fir trees. At five minutes’ drive from the sleepy Breton village of Taupont, it’s also within striking distance of the ethereal Brocéliande Forest and hikes along the Nantes-Brest Canal. If you prefer to stay on site rather than explore further afield, you’ll certainly have no problems keeping occupied during the day. Just get everyone out into the fresh air to play badminton, tennis, volleyball or golf – and don’t forget that the Étang au Duc provides all manner of water-based activities, from hiking its shoreline to fishing and swimming off the site’s private beach. Those of you eager to up the sporting ante can go windsurfing, paddleboarding and waterskiing from the watersports centre too. Another thing you don’t need to worry about is catering. There’s a small grocery shop in Taupont, or you can simply slope off to the site’s snack bar overlooking the lake to enjoy a glass of Breton cider and tuck into the menu of pizzas and burgers. Takeaways are also available, and a daily bread service is offered during high season.

Local attractions

No need to wander too far from your pitch to keep the kids entertained, as there are opportunities for watersports and game fishing at Étang au Duc (direct from the site). Also easily accessed is the Hydrangea Trail, an easy route around the lake and best seen in June and July, when Brittany’s symbolic flower is in full bloom. To experience the mystery and legend of the region, take a stroll through Brocéliande Forest (15 minutes’ drive), linked to mythical figures such as Merlin and Morgan La Fay. You have several options if you’re keen to explore traditional Breton towns and villages. Ploërmel is much-visited for its astronomical clock and Gothic church, while pretty-as-a-picture Loyat (both 10 minutes) has a splendid 18th-century castle to visit and waterside walks along the Yvel. Rochefort-en-Terre (35 minutes) is a well-preserved medieval village with a sprinkling of architectural gems, a bizarre art museum and craft shops. There’s an impressive château and half-timbered houses to check out at Josselin (15 minutes), and for a taster of the former industrial heritage of Brittany you should head for the iron forges at Paimpont (25 minutes).
