  • Friendly and spacious holiday park in the grounds of a Norman château
  • By the River Seine, 10 minutes' drive from Château Gaillard
  • Direct river access, tennis court, miniature golf, fishing and bar
Sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself and swap daily life for a bit of 'la vie de château'… and that's where this friendly Upper Normandy site comes in. Set in stately home grounds, with a spread of quality facilities and direct access to the scenic River Seine, it's quite simply a top spot to put down roots in while on a break in northern France. As the name implies, Château de Bouafles is in the grounds of a rather handsome manor. There's an appropriately lordly range of amenities here, including a well-equipped laundry room, fresh morning bread deliveries daily (except Wednesdays), a bar, a games room and books to borrow. If your hands need a bit of rejuvenation after making use of the site's washing-up points, simply chat to reception about getting your nails done on site – yet another potential perk of staying here. Don’t worry, the rest of your body and mind are catered for as well – there's fishing in the river, a launch where boats and kayaks can be floated, a miniature golf course, a playground and a full-size tennis court to keep guests occupied. Away from base, you can spend your downtime exploring the local area's other châteaux (including the fine specimen 10 minutes' drive away at Gaillard), sailing up and down the Seine or simply browsing the weekly street markets in Gaillon (15 minutes), Vernon (20 minutes) or Louviers (25 minutes).

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked - Sehr grosse Parzellen.
- Die gute Lage.
- Familienbetrieb.

Disliked - Der Hauswolf war zwar gut erzogen aber ein Vorbild für die Camper die Ihre Hunde an der Leinen führen mussten war das nichts.
- Sie haben einen schönen Gartenbereich bei dem Leider kein Aperitif genossen werden kann.

From the manager: Our dog is with us 24 hours a day, so he can’t be kept on a lead and never strays from the guest area – and it works very well. It’s been like this since he was born, and the same goes for all the dogs that stay with us.
I don’t understand why you didn’t feel comfortable having an aperitif on our terrace; it’s perfectly suitable.
If you have a problem with the dog, just let us know.
Have a good day

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Arrived at the start of October half term. The welcome was good and easy. The pitch we had was a good size and had electric and water as booked. Toilet and shower block were a short walk and were modern and extremely clean and well maintained. The site had lots to do, but some inclement weather meant we couldn’t utilise, but lots to do for families. Great walks along the river too.

From the manager: thanks you !!

Local attractions

Get set for a bit of a climb and a lot of picture-snapping at Château Gaillard (10 minutes’ drive): the grand hilltop castle, the old stomping ground of Richard the Lionheart, has mind-boggling views over the River Seine. Évreux Cathedral (30 minutes) is another site of fancy – its sheer size enough to make your head spin. For a test of strength and bravery, battle the high ropes at Acroforest (40 minutes). Alternatively, head to Golf de Gaillon (15 minutes) for a gentler piece of the action. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into one of Monet’s paintings at his preserved home and gardens in Giverny (25 minutes). Once you’ve had your fill of fancy plants, make room for the other face of nature and greet the animals at Biotropica Zoo (35 minutes). If city living is more down your avenue, Rouen (40 minutes) and Paris (an hour and 15) aren’t out of reach. For families with kids, you can admire all the best French cities in miniature form at France Miniature (an hour), a good pick for little feet not fit to take on the real-life cities on foot.
