  • 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.

What customers say

This is an exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite with modern, spa-like facilities. Guests praise the friendly and accommodating staff, beautiful riverside location in a charming village, and the availability of local produce. Activities like kayaking and cycling are popular. Minor points mentioned include occasional traffic noise and church bells for light sleepers, though many found the bells part of the village charm. The site is highly recommended for its quality and atmosphere.

Paula A.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Beautiful small site on the river. Friendly, efficient staff to greet you on arrival. Large, level, shady pitch with boarder hedges and water tap near by. Facilities were amazing being both extremely clean and modern. No outdoor shoes in the showers which was a genius idea! Washing machine, freezer and bbq use.
Kayak and bike hire.
The river had access via a gated deck area. Wooden steps down to the water which was nice and clear.
Right in the village which had the market on and 10 minute walk to the reservoir with restaurants, shops and water-sports.
Only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer.

Helen B.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Lovely clean site in a picturesque setting & village.
The showers & toilets were very clean & you're requested to take off your shoes in the shower building, slip on mules are provided. The other block is just toilets.
The pitches are large & we were able to choose our own pitch. We had a walk around the nearby village of Dienville, lovely church & a bakery a few minutes walk away.
There is a reservoir nearby, probably about 20 minutes walk, with a number of restaurants but we didn’t get to these as we were only staying one night. Wished we were here for longer.

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.

Liked Everything on site was immaculate. The location was lovely and peaceful, wifi and electric worked really well.

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.
