  • Shaded site on the banks of the Aube
  • Spectacular and peaceful setting around a 19th-century dovecot
  • Direct river access, canoe hire, playground and indoor lounge
A riverside site on a 19th-century French estate… sound boastful enough yet? Get ready to get smug with a stay at Domaine Le Colombier on the banks of the Aube, in the fizzingly fab region of Champagne-Ardenne. As you'll see from the pics, this is a lushly viewsome place, green and flower-filled with loads of room for stretching out and serious idling. And as you might gather from the name, there's a dovecot on site too: settle down beside it for a picnic to see how many pigeons you can spy flitting in and out of the colombier holes… Domaine Le Colombier is a mere minute's meander from the Aube department village of Dienville, in a Champagne-Ardenne setting between Paris and Strasbourg. It has direct access to the river for active days canoeing and swimming; hire a canoe from the team for serene hours drifting along the water. Facilities include a well-equipped playground with trampoline, along with an indoor lounge with TV, dartboard, table football and squishy sofas. Bakeries and restaurants are within easy strolling distance.

Power optional grass site

Liked Beautiful small site on the river. Friendly, efficient staff to greet you on arrival. Large, level, shady pitch with boarder hedges and water tap near by. Facilities were amazing being both extremely clean and modern. No outdoor shoes in the showers which was a genius idea! Washing machine, freezer and bbq use.
Kayak and bike hire.
The river had access via a gated deck area. Wooden steps down to the water which was nice and clear.
Right in the village which had the market on and 10 minute walk to the reservoir with restaurants, shops and water-sports.
Only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer.

What a gorgeous site!

Liked The 'leave your car behind ethos'
The composter
The beautiful site.
The location
The quality of the facilities (loos/showers)
The play equipment

Disliked Unisex loos and showers. Also that one of the blocks has a visible urinal nah! Men can use cubicles I would not have felt comfortable my girls using that when they were children.
Shoes off policy although I can totally totally understand it given how immaculate and high end the facilities are the best I have ever seen in France or England.

A very high quality site - we will return!

Power optional grass site (riverside)

Liked The site has a fabulous atmosphere. Beautiful entrance with lovely planting & amazing restored buildings! Toilets/shower facilities recently finished & very high standard. Pitches are large & flat with easy access to the river. Nice decking area with recliners. We booked a kayak trip which was well organised & great fun. Location is good for walking to the local ‘port’. Great cafe in the town just short distance away which opens early along with the boulangerie. A beautifully maintained site that we would highly recommend.

Disliked Nothing. Loved it! Hope to come back.

Power optional grass site

Liked Incredible place. We stayed here two years ago and came back. It’s a beautiful old stables with land down to the river that the family have converted into the most beautiful campsite we’ve ever stayed on.
The toilets and showers are luxurious - they even play relaxing music in there and you have to wear slippers to go into the sanitarium.
There is space for cooking together on a deck area and there are sun loungers by the river as well as easy access into the river to swim / bathe or to kayak.
This time we stayed in a gite (guest house) because we had been camping in the South that morning, travelled all day to Dienville and it was still over 30c due to a heatwave. We asked if they had any gites available and they were so accommodating they managed to find something for us and make it work.

Disliked Nothing. Best campsite in France.

Lovely clean campsite. Great location right on the river. Quiet at night.…

Liked Beautiful campsite, set in lovely grounds. Very well maintained. Situated next to a river, which you can swim in. Very clean. Great showers. Lovely staff, very friendly.

Disliked Not really a dislike but the showers ran on a 20 second cycle, which meant stopping and starting constantly. Better to set for at least a minute or two.

Great site. Third visit. Would return.

Liked Everything about this campsite. It is absolutely perfect, it’s pristine, the staff are friendly and efficient and the location is amazing. The showers/toilets/washing up facilities are 5*. Our pitch was on the riverside with a deck, chairs and access to the river for swimming. We took a kayak excursion booked at the site which was amazing and so worth the money. My only complaint was that we didn’t book for longer but we will be back. I give this campsite 10/10.

Liked Lovely facilities shower and toilets..
Staff helpful. You could choose your pick off plan on arrival which was good.

Launderette facility was excellent too..

Disliked Arrival time was restrictive to 3pm a lot of the day gone!

Town and churches were so pretty, we missed the market day. Very limited in the village for drinks or food.
Centre bar nice for a drink and walk to the boulangerie nice. Troyes is a lovely city to visit.

Local attractions

The lush waters of the Aube are right to hand from the site for swimming, paddling and canoeing, but if you seek yet more watery times it's an easy 10-minute drive to the Aube reservoir and its two lakes, Amance and Temple. Make for Lac d'Amance for watersports including jetskiing and motorboating (this is the biggest watersports lake this close to Paris), and to Temple for birdwatching, fishing and a more peaceful vibe; motorboats aren't allowed on this part of the reservoir. The lakes are part of the woodland and water landscapes of the Orient Forest Regional Natural Park (Lac d'Orient, 25 minutes' drive from Domaine Le Colombier, is the park's third lake). A 42-kilometre bike path weaves through the trees around all three lakes for scenic rides, followed by a lengthy laze on one of the three sandy beaches of Lac d'Orient, the park's biggest. By car, Aube department capital and ancient town Troyes is 40 minutes' drive away, straight through the forest. Or give the kids a splendid day out by driving south for 15 minutes instead, to arrive at the Nigloland amusement park, one of the most visited in France.
