Dog-friendly site on a former flour mill a five-minute drive from Pons
Le Château des Enigmes five minutes’ drive; Cognac half an hour
Grass pitches on the river Seugne; on-site fishing

Between Bordeaux (think of all the wine you could drink…) and La Rochelle, with its splendid beaches (about 100 kilometres, or one hour’s drive, to either destination), Moulins de la Vergne occupies the site of a former flour mill on the banks of the river Seugne. It’s a blissfully peaceful spot with level grass pitches shaded by lush trees – just the ticket for a little relaxation in the Charente-Maritime department. The site sits just outside Pons (accessed by a five-minute drive on the D234), a historic town on the route from Tours to Santiago de Compostela. People around these parts have been welcoming pilgrims and visitors for centuries, and you and your family (including your dog, who must be kept on a leash) will be greeted warmly here. The main building houses the reception area, the restaurant and the bathrooms (with showers and a bath); there is also a launderette, a washing-up area and a drinking-water tap. And good news for anglers, too: the proximity to the river means you can whip out your fishing gear and (try to) catch pike and perch. When it’s time to explore, Moulins de la Vergne puts you within easy driving distance of a whole load of interesting sights. You already know about Bordeaux and its vineyards, but this area is also famed for its production of brandy in and around Cognac (half an hour). At the Rémy Martin Estate (20 minutes), for example, you can learn about the distilling and ageing processes and enjoy a tasting with nibbles.

Electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: La tranquilidad

Disliked: El área de camping está separada y alejada de los baños, el restaurante y la recepción.
En el camping no hay ningún tipo de barrera.
La recepcionista solo habla francés, aunque en la página se anuncia que también se habla inglés.no obstante, decir que fue amable y al menos intenta la comunicación.
Todo el camping tiene aspecto de total abandono. Está claro que las fotos se han hecho en tiempos mucho mejores.

Local attractions

The Château des Enigmes (five minutes’ drive) combines a splendid Renaissance castle with a pirate-themed treasure hunt featuring clues that take you through the surrounding woodland and on a petting farm. Also worth a peek is the castle’s Winter Garden, designed by Gustave Eiffel. Founded in the first century, the town of Saintes (25 minutes) is known for its Gallo-Roman monuments, including the imposing Arch of Germanicus, on a wide promenade on the banks of the Charente, and the ruins of an amphitheatre built within a small valley to take advantage of the area’s natural slopes. On the Gironde Estuary, the seaside resort of Royan (50 minutes) has sandy beaches such as the wide, sheltered Plage de la Grande-Conche, with rental outfits for watersports. Restaurants fringe the pretty marina, and modernist architecture lines Boulevard Aristide Briand.
