  • Small Loir-et-Cher site 10 minutes’ drive from Le Controis-en-Sologne
  • Château de Cheverny 10 minutes’ drive; ZooParc de Beauval 35 minutes
  • Grass pitches in a private garden by the Loire à Vélo cycling route
Touring the castles of the Loire Valley and looking for somewhere peaceful to rest your head? Your search could be over, for the grass pitches at Autour du Peu, 10 minutes’ drive from Le Controis-en-Sologne in the Loir-et-Cher, are surrounded by trees and set in the grounds of a private house. This is a handy spot for visiting the mighty châteaux of Cheverny (10 minutes’ drive), Chambord (half an hour) and Chenonceau (35 minutes), and it's five minutes by car to the restaurants, bar, grocery store and bakery in Fougères-sur-Bièvre, where you can also tour a lesser-known – but equally stunning – medieval castle. Whether you’re travelling by bike (the site’s on the Loire à Vélo cycling route), on foot or with four wheels, you’ll be warmly welcomed at this rural hideaway, which has a roster of simple amenities: electrical points to charge phones, a microwave, kettle and refrigerator/freezer (please bring extension cords). There’s also a no-fuss utility block with a hot shower, dry toilets and a hand-washing station with cold water. A washing machine is available for an additional fee, and once on site you can order breakfast or hire bed linen and towels for a small extra charge. A small supplement is also levied for electric bikes. The property is partially fenced and pets are welcome with prior arrangement. The owners have dogs and cats of their own, so please respect their space.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Quiet and remote.
Good electric hook up. Water and hose provided. Toilet a natural type, ok.
Shower Good.
Rural location peaceful.
Hosts amazing friendly and helpful.
A little washing up area had a nice tea and coffee making area.
So happy on our first one night stay we decided to fit in a minimum 2 day stop over on our return from Bourges to Normandy.
For those with concerns its a flat level big field and easy driveway gated access. So very safe.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful quiet location listening to the array of bird noises and identifying them was a lovely experience and watching the bats when the sun went down was incredible, the facilities are quirky with an extra bonus of a microwave to use, would definitely stay here again and Phillippe and Isabelle were very welcoming.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely site. The owners Isabelle and Philippe greeted us on arrival and showed us around. Pitched where you like on big field. Lovely view and sunset from our pitch. Facilities were simple but functional and very clean. Very quiet.

Disliked No dislikes. Just a suggestion for some additional screening around the shower area.

Local attractions

First stop on your castle-bagging campaign will probably be Cheverny (10 minutes’ drive), where you can putter along the estate’s waterways by electric boat, tour impressive period rooms and view the eccentric Tintin exhibition. Overlooking the Loire and once home to Catherine de Medici, Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire (20 minutes) has a contemporary art gallery and a splendidly ornate interior to admire as well as English-style parkland. Bristling with towers, Château de Chambord (half an hour) is the largest castle in the Loire Valley; here you can explore the house, gardens, stables and vineyard. Fairytale Château de Chenonceau (35 minutes) spans the river and has a famed tapestry collection as well as formal gardens to discover. The historic city of Blois (25 minutes) rewards a side trip with its Gothic cathedral, half-timbered houses and riverside brasseries. If you need a break from the Loire’s exquisite landmarks, take a day to visit endangered pandas, silverback gorillas and tigers at ZooParc de Beauval (35 minutes). You can also ride a cable car across the vast enclosures, or spot manatees and Komodo dragons among the tropical foliage of the Equatorial Dome.
