  • Peaceful and shaded riverside site next to Grottes d’Azé
  • Cluny Abbey and Grottes de Blanot within 15 minutes' drive
  • Snack bar on site; 10 mins' drive from A6 motorway
It’s not often that you get to spend the night right by a tourist attraction – but that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do at Camping Grottes d'Azé, at the southern end of Burgundy. This peaceful three-acre site is right next to the Grottes d’Azé, on the edge of the village of Azé. Staying right next to the caves means that you’ll be able to get in as soon as they open in the morning, thus avoiding the crowds and perhaps allowing you to get on your way to another destination later in the day. The site is only about 10 minutes’ drive from the A6 motorway (halfway between Dijon and Lyon) so it’s a handy pick for an overnight stop and a cave tour before getting back on the road. It’s worth sticking around a little longer if you can, though, as there’s plenty to see and do in the local area, including walking trails, cycle routes, vineyard visits, châteaux – and indeed more caves… Time spent on site should be rather lovely too – the campsite is on the banks of the Mouge river and it’s a peaceful place with lots of wildlife around and shade from the trees. The swimming pool (available for an additional charge) is open during high season only. There is also a playground and a pétanque court on site for a little more activity. Amenities are also well supplied, including a launderette and bathrooms with disabled access. Time for some food? Pick up pizzas and the like from the snack bar and order your morning bread delivery for a good breakfast. You can also walk into the village centre in about 10/15 minutes for a shop, bakery or restaurant.

Powered grass site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked: Friendly,informative owner, pitches good size and secluded amongst trees. We had a private shower/loo which was great. Swimming pool was closed due to colder weather when we stayed but was a good size and looked good. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed good walking direct from the site and the caves are adjacent to the site. Thank you

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Powered concrete and grass site

Liked: The food was very good and the staff very helpful when I asked to move pitch. There was a group of youths smoking near our first pitch which was very close to the pool. I asked to move further away as I have small children. They were accomodating. The pool was very welcome as it was a very hot day.

Powered concrete and grass site

Liked: Lovely laid back site in beautiful area close to small village. Nice shady pitches. Good sanitary facilities. Great pool although shut at 8pm opened 10am so couldn't enjoy and is a small charge.

Disliked: Staff didn't seem keen to accommodate us for dinner reservation in restaurant or for takeaway. Rang mid afternoon but restaurant was full for evening and kitchen couldn't handle a takeaway order apparently so don't bank on being able to eat there. Disappointed as was one of reasons chose site.

Local attractions

Of course you’ll want to visit the Grottes d’Azé to explore the wonderful naturally sculpted underground caverns and see the well-preserved bear and lion fossils it’s become well known for. And if that’s given you a taste for such things, follow up with a trip to Grottes de Blanot (15 minutes’ drive). Back above ground there are plenty of activities to keep you busy, including biking along the green or blue cycle routes, going horse riding from Azé, climbing into the trees at Lugny Acro (five minutes) or rock climbing at Vergisson (25 minutes). And of course here in the midst of the Mâconnais vineyards there are wines to be tasted if that’s more your thing. For a taste of the area’s more recent history, head to Cluny Abbey (15 minutes), once the largest church in Christendom, or take a tour of Château de Brancion (15 minutes), up on a clifftop overlooking the medieval village.
