  • Stunning luxury site around an 18th-century castle and lake
  • Within 25 minutes' drive of Le Mans and two hours from Paris
  • Free fishing, pool, château bar, restaurant, farm and free tours
Pretty, peaceful and in spectacular surrounds including a château and a fishing lake – ooh la la and then some. Scenic, friendly and fably equipped Camping Le Château de Chanteloup is near Sille-Le-Philippe in the Sarthe department, about 25 minutes' drive from the famed racing track of Le Mans and two hours from Paris. It's on a carefully preserved 22 hectares with meadows, woodland, gardens, an 18th-century castle and a lake for canoeing and angling. Fishing is popular here (and free), so pack your kit and get ready to land carp, roach and tench. There's stacks to do at this luxury park, from strolling or cycling around the grounds to getting active with hours of swimming, badminton, ping pong, mountain biking and pétanque. A football pitch, two volleyball courts and a basketball hoop are also on site: do hone your skills before arriving as friendly competitions are regularly held in these (as well as in pétanque, fishing, basketball and ping pong). More restfully, take yourself off to the pool, or simply have an early snooze instead, as a kids' club for ages four to 10 is run every day in high season by bilingual staff. An evening restaurant and takeaway are in the farm courtyard, and the Chanteloup bar is open throughout the season in the west wing of the castle. For peaceful retreats, a billiards table, TV room and book exchange are in the east wing. Free guided tours of the grounds are available. Guests are also welcome to potter around the miniature farm at the entrance to the property, to coo over the critters and pick up a clutch of fresh eggs.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you did not like your stay at Chanteloup, in the last few days before the campsite closes. The sanitary bloc was at 200 meters from your pitch and you're probably the only one complaining about the water temperature, we don't quite understand what could have happened and we are sorry for you.

3 bedroom apartment (no pets, six person)

Liked: What a chance finding! We stayed in Chanteloup due to it being a reasonable drive from Calais (~4 hours), which was about all the children could manage in one trip. We stayed during the final week of the season and we particular loved how quiet the site was. The staff were a fantastic help, the apartment was well stocked and had everything we needed, and the whole vibe was very relaxing (barely any rules, which was a plus compared to some campsites that I have stayed at in the past). The pool area was very tranquil, and the proximity to things to do was also great (we visited Papéa Park, theme park and water park for the day).

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site and Château. Reception staff very pleasant. Fresh bakery stall sets up on the terrace every morning. Nice shaded seating area under a large and very old tree where you can relax and use free Wi-Fi. Showers etc are in lovely old barns.

Disliked: Can be noisy in the evening if you are near the terrace/Château area but did stop by 11pm. Insects were a problem during our stay (August) so bring repellant and bite cream etc. Particularly annoying by the pool as soon as you get out.

Local attractions

You may decide just to stay on site with all the kingly and queenly options at your regal fingertips, but do make some time to get out and about as well – as with the site, there's lots to do in the Sarthe surroundings. Zip along to Le Mans for what the Camping Le Château de Chanteloup owners declare is the most beaut Gallo-Roman spot in France: this medieval city is full of houses from the 16th to 18th centuries. The stained glass windows in the cathedral should enthrall even non-historic kids, and the Nuit des Chimères light and sound shows in July and August are a must-see if you're around these parts in summer. Le Mans racing track is home to the oldest sports car endurance race in the world (since 1923, petrolhead peeps) as well as the track's motorsports museum. Also much recommended is Ferté-Bernard, involved in the world's first motoring Grand Prix way back in 1903; the small city of Montmirail, and traditional villages such as Asnières-sur-Vègre and Le Grand Lucé.
