  • Shaded site on the banks of the Aube
  • Spectacular and peaceful setting around a 19th-century dovecot
  • Direct river access, canoe hire, playground and indoor lounge
A riverside site on a 19th-century French estate… sound boastful enough yet? Get ready to get smug with a stay at Domaine Le Colombier on the banks of the Aube, in the fizzingly fab region of Champagne-Ardenne. As you'll see from the pics, this is a lushly viewsome place, green and flower-filled with loads of room for stretching out and serious idling. And as you might gather from the name, there's a dovecot on site too: settle down beside it for a picnic to see how many pigeons you can spy flitting in and out of the colombier holes… Domaine Le Colombier is a mere minute's meander from the Aube department village of Dienville, in a Champagne-Ardenne setting between Paris and Strasbourg. It has direct access to the river for active days canoeing and swimming; hire a canoe from the team for serene hours drifting along the water. Facilities include a well-equipped playground with trampoline, along with an indoor lounge with TV, dartboard, table football and squishy sofas. Bakeries and restaurants are within easy strolling distance.

Jonathan D.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked What a beautiful, peaceful site on the riverbank within a lovely village. We could only stay two nights but would happily have stayed longer. Staff could not be more welcoming and accommodating, and the facilities; thoughtful, spotlessly clean and modern. All done to fit in with and around the beautiful location, local produce and environment.

Disliked Not a dislike for us at all, but the church bells nearby do chime late and early if you are a light sleeper. Nothing that ear plugs couldn’t solve mind.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Everything ! What a gem of a campsite . Small and super friendly. Beautiful setting. Immaculately clean facilities.
We bought a bottle of local champagne and were lent some flutes to experience it properly and purchased some delicious hot meals which saved us cooking on our stop over on way home. Will definitely come back again and we were sorry we only had 1 night there.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Absolutely everything !
This trip we stayed in several campsites across 3 countries and this campsite was hands down my favourite. Possibly my favourite ever. If you decide to book a stay you will receive a warm welcome from friendly staff. You can buy local wine and champagne from the reception, very reasonably priced. We bought a bottle of Champagne and our hosts very kindly offered us the use of glass flutes. We also opted for a pitch next to the river, which we were invited to go and have a look at which one we would prefer. We were near the pontoon and steps down to the river which we took full advantage of during our stay. We swam each day which was bliss, watching the fish shimmering as they jumped and the flash of royal blue from the hungry Kingfishers enjoying their fill. You can hire kayaks and bikes and spend a lazy day fishing if you like. The facilities are spotless. The bathroom blocks are not only clean and smell lovely but they are modern, welcoming and warm. Ambient, relaxing music plays as you enjoy a warm shower. The cubicles are spacious so you can actually shower and dry yourself comfortably. The surroundings and the town itself are beautiful. You will hear the church bells, and the chickens, personally I loved that and I can't wait to go back.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Wry nice site in a nice little village. Facilities were very good and a good stop off location going either north or south in France.

Disliked We were in a pitch which was very close to the road and noise of traffic was a bit frustrating in the evening.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour and thanks for your review.
We are sorry that you were inconvenienced by vehicle noise. On your next stay, please let us know if you would like a pitch further away from the bridge. It is rare for traffic to cause noise, but it can happen on rare occasions. We apologize for this.
We hope to see you soon

Excellent for the children and lovely…

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Excellent for the children and lovely pitches. Excellent facilities, too. Bought a bottle of local Champagne from the reception shop and they even loaned us some flutes to drink it out of. The chap on reception was so helpful and lovely. Would definitely visit again, but for a longer period of time to make the most of it. It's a shame we only could stop for one night and sad we've only just found it. We highly recommend it. A must visit.

Local attractions

The lush waters of the Aube are right to hand from the site for swimming, paddling and canoeing, but if you seek yet more watery times it's an easy 10-minute drive to the Aube reservoir and its two lakes, Amance and Temple. Make for Lac d'Amance for watersports including jetskiing and motorboating (this is the biggest watersports lake this close to Paris), and to Temple for birdwatching, fishing and a more peaceful vibe; motorboats aren't allowed on this part of the reservoir. The lakes are part of the woodland and water landscapes of the Orient Forest Regional Natural Park (Lac d'Orient, 25 minutes' drive from Domaine Le Colombier, is the park's third lake). A 42-kilometre bike path weaves through the trees around all three lakes for scenic rides, followed by a lengthy laze on one of the three sandy beaches of Lac d'Orient, the park's biggest. By car, Aube department capital and ancient town Troyes is 40 minutes' drive away, straight through the forest. Or give the kids a splendid day out by driving south for 15 minutes instead, to arrive at the Nigloland amusement park, one of the most visited in France.
