Can’t decide whether you’d like your Burgundy break to be in a peaceful riverside location or one with easy access to all the amenities of a town centre? Then you need to stay at Camping de Charlieu – this family-friendly site is just on the edge of the little town of Charlieu and right on the banks of the Sornin river. That combination means you’ll get plenty of peace and pretty views on the spacious and shaded pitches, and yet there will be a whole lot of shops, bakeries, restaurants and other places to eat about 10 minutes’ walk away. It’s also well worth simply having a wander around the town – officially classified as a ‘village of character’ and one of the Plus Beaux Détours de France (the most beautiful detours in France) – as it’s packed with historic buildings and half-timbered houses. If you don’t fancy walking that far (well, you are on holiday…), it’s handy that there’s a snack bar with terrace on site – it's open for lunch and dinner every day except Tuesday. And for early-morning eats, you can order bread and pastries to be delivered by a village bakery (just place your order a day ahead). Also on site are a play area, a tennis court and a pétanque court, and guests have free access to the municipal swimming pool next door, which is open weekends from mid-June and then every day through the main summer holiday. A launderette, a washing-up area and a bathroom block with toilets and showers are also provided to make life easy all round.

Local attractions

Heading out to explore your local area is simple from here, as there’s a voie verte path running alongside the Sornin river just next to the site ready for your walks, bike rides or rollerblading outings. Take some time to explore Charlieu too – it’s full of attractive half-timbered houses and lovely places to eat and shop, along with attractions like the Silk Museum and Charlieu Abbey (both within 15 minutes’ walk of the site). The Couvent des Cordeliers (20 minutes’ walk) is also worth a visit, to see the art-filled walls of a former Franciscan monastery. When you're ready to travel a little further afield, you may like to visit Château Saint Hugues (20 minutes’ drive) and the stunning Château de la Roche (35 minutes), built on its own island. Alternatively, soak up more of the rural scenery on a canoe trip along the River Loire from Briennon (15 minutes) or a gentle donkey walk with Bougres d’ânes (20 minutes).
