Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Everything. Saw the reviews on pitch up and thought we would give it a try- very glad we did. Booked for one night but stayed for another.
Perfect tranquil hideaway away from the crazy and crappy world we live in. Our kind of place. Peaceful, small site, but meets the needs for a simple life. Similar to a CL site back in the UK.
Ludovic is a great host, friendly and helpful but gives you space to chill and enjoy the quiet. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area. Really enjoyed our time here. Thank you.

Disliked Having to leave.

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Ludovic was extremely friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent English. The site was lovely and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside, with good clean facilities including water, electric, showers and toilets, and a communal fridge, and a pretty village nearby. It is close to Le Mans and I even saw my first water vole. We would definitely stay again

Steve C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked The location is first rate and our host was very attentive. The showers and dry room were hot, warm and welcoming and the environment at the camp was very peaceful however we had an issue with the group we shared the site with on our first night.

Disliked We were so looking forward to a peaceful few days but our first day/night was shattered by a group of British motorbikers who monopolised the shared spaces making us feel like intruders and at night they had a campfire and stayed around it until way after midnight laughing and joking. I did try to appeal to them but was ignored. I think the host needs to keep a closer eye on big groups or maybe does not allow single sex groups to stay when others are booked in - a tough ask in these financial trying times but it is such a shame to have people's holidays spoilt by brash behaviour.

From the manager: Hello Steve.
Thank you taking the time to write this comment.
I'm not surprised by your remark because we talked about your night directly.
You were at my campsite during the Motogp weekend, and there is always lot of campers. I'm sorry if your experience was bad. As stated in the message I sent you afterwards, I invite you to come back and enjoy the peace and quiet of my campsite. I have taken note of all the ideas you submitted to me, as the well-being of my campers is of the utmost importance to me. I hope to see you here again one day.
Kind regards

Local attractions

There’s certainly plenty to do outdoors; you’ll need a licence to fish in the Orne Saônoise river (10 minutes’ drive), where you can also hire kayaks or canoes for a paddle downstream. Other alfresco pursuits include hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding trails, all on way-marked tracks close to the campsite. If you’re staying local, combine exercise with a potter around the verdant parkland at the Donjon de Ballon (five minutes), and explore the once-fortified medieval chateau itself if you’re visiting in summer. Another historic building to check out nearby is the peaceful Royal Abbey of Epau (half an hour), known for the beauty of its Cistercian architecture and stained-glass windows. And of course a visit to Le Mans (35 minutes) should be considered too. You might be lucky enough to hit town when the famed annual 24-hour car race is on (in June), but this is a historic place with plenty to enthral any time of year. You can see remains of the Gallo-Roman walls, stroll by half-timbered houses within the Old Town and get your fill of vintage sports cars in the interactive Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
