  • Dog-friendly pitches in a quiet area of the Meuse countryside
  • A 20-minute drive from the Verdun battlefields; 55 minutes from Metz
  • Rural walks nearby; a 10-minute drive to shops and restaurants
Always on the lookout for a peaceful place with a good supply of places to go for a scenic rural walk, and some tasty meals nearby? Pull in at Amelin’Aire, a small and simple site tucked away in a quiet part of the Meuse countryside. This relaxed Lorraine location is just a 25-minute drive from the river Meuse and the splendid city of Verdun where leafy riverside streets are filled with characterful cafés and restaurants. Verdun's Old Town is home to a Gothic cathedral, a museum and an art gallery, so if you like to work up an appetite with a good bit of sightseeing, that's sorted. The city isn't far off, but staying at Amelin’Aire means that you have countryside on all sides, so you'll be able to get out and explore the rural lanes easily enough while you're here (and your dog is welcome to join you too). It's all very rural and peaceful, but the site is still only a 10-minute drive from local shops and restaurants should you want to pick up supplies or wine and dine. This is also a prime base for those interested in the historic Battle of Verdun fought in 1916. It’s a 20-minute drive from the Verdun battlefield, including the Trench of Bayonets, forts and the Verdun Memorial Museum. The setup on site is fairly simple, with just picnic tables and some low-level lighting to help you find your way around after dark; please note there are no toilets or showers provided.

What customers say

This is a clean, basic, and quiet site ideal for overnight stops, conveniently located near the A4 motorway. Owners are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful, with good English spoken. Pitches are level and gravelled, with electricity available. Some guests noted flies and a lack of toilet and shower facilities, though this was often expected. A bin has been ordered. Fresh bread is available in the mornings.

Mark F. 1 review

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked It's a nice small location in the countryside and I believe is relatively new so it's great to support such sites, however there was one big drawback ...

Disliked As this site is surrounded by farmers fields, the one disadvantage was flies (and some wasps). We tried to eat outside (it was 33 degrees) but had to retreat indoors. When entering the van you had to be quick so that only 2 or 3 flies would follow you in. A shame but we wouldn't stay there again, sorry.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Very friendly owners in a beautiful part of the country and close to the A4 autoroute. We only stayed 1 night using it as a stop off on our way to Switzerland. Will definitely use again but in our opinion it’s more of a 1 or 2 night site.

Disliked Lack of water but we knew that before we came so made sure we had enough.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked It’s a very basic site that we knew before hand, it was only a 1 night stopover. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. There are a number of supermarkets and petrol stations nearby, so we could fill up with fuel and come back and get the caravan. It’s only a few minutes from the motorway.

Liked Location was nice, cows baying in the background, quiet location. Would be even better in the summer. Owners very nice.

Disliked Arriving in the dark and not knowing what EHU connection I needed (my fault!). Not there long enough to enjoy the area, sad!

Local attractions

This area saw a lot of action during World War I, and there are a couple of intriguing historic remnants to seek out while you're out exploring the local countryside. These include the eerie structures of Camp Marguerre (15 minutes’ drive) and the stark concrete walls of Trench of Bayonets (20 minutes). A wander around the destroyed village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont (25 minutes) is also a sobering experience. To learn a little bit more about how the war unfolded here, stop in at the Verdun Memorial (20 minutes) en route to Verdun itself (25 minutes). Once you're in the city, head underground to the historic citadel, visit the cathedral and take walks along the banks of the Meuse. For other days out, take a walk around Longuyon (20 minutes) to see the Romanesque-Gothic church before taking a swim in the pool, or spend some time learning about ancient crafts at Les Vieux Métiers (20 minutes). A day out in Metz (55 minutes) is also a good bet, to take in attractions from the Gothic cathedral to the ultra-modern Centre Pompidou-Metz.
