What customers say

This is a peaceful, small, and well-maintained site with a focus on nature and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the exceptional hospitality of host Ludovic, who is described as friendly, helpful, and generous, often providing welcome gifts. Facilities, including showers and communal areas with fridges, are generally clean and adequate for the site's size. While most found the entrance manageable, those with larger vehicles should exercise caution. The site is ideal for quiet stays and stopovers, with many expressing a desire to return.

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked The site is picturesque, well laid out and very well maintained. I'd describe it as minimalist and rustic but in this situation and at the price it's a fantastic place.

Facilities are minimal but perfectly sufficient and very well maintained.

Ludovic, the host was welcoming and super helpful from the moment I booked until the moment we left.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site!

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Ludovic was a fantastic host and he did everything he could to make our stay as lovely as he could. Small family campsite close to village with bars and supermarket. Toilets and showers were clean and sufficient for 6 pitch campsite. He even brought us a couple of beers as welcoming gift and home grown tomatoes as leaving gift. Brilliant we'll be back

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked the tidiness of the site. the friendliness of the owner. The fact that he had left clear instructions upon our arrival as to how to contact him. he soon arrived with a welcome gift . Very acceptable after a long journey. Exceptionally quiet site . Good English spoken.

Disliked the gateway was rather tight for our long caravan. We were very aware that we may hit the post as we pulled out but we did clear. The owner was aware and I think he is making alterations . If you approach sensible and with care there is no problem. We heard three cars on the access road in the whole length of our stay.

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked What a hidden gem! I think we were never on a campsite where is so much care for every detail. From the moment we booked, Ludovic was so friendly untill we left. When we arrived he had a cold beer in the fridge and a Little snack to welcome us. Also the campsite is so lovely, with herbs and you can even make a Little campfire. A wonderfull outdoor and indoor shower. A Place we would love to come back to and stay longer.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much Vera.
Your review gives me a lot of energy and motivation to improve more the campsite 🤗
See you soon🙂

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Lovely small peaceful site on Ludovic's farm. The site was very well equipped with a games/sitting room, a large fridge and freezer for guests to use and dish washing facilities. The toilet and shower was clean and lots of hot water in the shower.
Ludovic was very friendly and welcoming and showed us around the site. He left 2 cold beers in the fridge for arrival. He checked on us each day to make sure we were okay. As we left the site he gave us a large bag of walnuts from his tree as a gift. He is a lovely guy, he made our short stay wonderful. Thank you Ludovic, we will definitely stay again.

Disliked Nothing, all was excellent.

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.
