  • Quiet riverside pitches on the edge of Le Lion-d’Angers
  • Angers, La Mine Bleue and Terra Botanica within a half-hour drive
  • Snack bar and chillout room on site; play area across the road
Which is the place for you: a quiet tree-lined site on the banks of a river, or a handy spot in a town, where you’ll be within easy reach of shops, places to eat and other amenities? How about both all rolled into one excellent location – because that’s what you’ll get at Camping du Lion d’Angers. This Anjou Bleu site is indeed in a pretty parkland location on the banks of the Oudon river, with pitches set among the trees and access to the river for fishing and launching canoes or kayaks. It’s also just on the edge of the small town of Le Lion-d’Angers, putting you within a few minutes’ walk of restaurants, bars, shops, banks and bus stops. From this convenient location it’s easy to get out and explore the area, perhaps cycling along La Vélo Francette bike path, taking a stroll around L'Isle Briand Park or heading out to visit vineyards, castles and cute villages. Angers and Terra Botanica are both within a half-hour drive too, for more day-trip options. All in all, this is a pretty fine location for a holiday – and the setup on site is equally excellent, with a good cluster of facilities including a small shop, a snack bar, a launderette and a wifi service (at reception). There are facilities for games of volleyball and badminton on site, along with a chillout room with a TV and board games. Just across the road is a play area where kids can let off steam and perhaps dare themselves to ride the 300-metre zipline.

What customers say

This new site has brilliant, spotless facilities, especially showers/toilets. Staff are friendly & professional. Great location near a charming town & pretty grounds. Pitches are flat & open, some hardstanding. Minor gripes: not much shade, some traffic noise. Grit pitches got muddy when wet.

Liked Lovely site, nicely privatised pitches with the hedging between and we had plenty of space
Facilities looked great but apart from the immaculate toilet and shoe block we used nothing else as we were only there overnight.

Disliked One little comment is, we were in a fully serviced pitch but the grey water drain is and 6” about ground level, meaning our waste system wouldn’t really drain properly .

Local attractions

If you’re here to soak up lots of fresh air, you may like to start at L'Isle Briand Park (10 minutes’ walk), a popular place for a stroll. On warm days, head to Baignade de Marigné (15 minutes’ drive), the starting point for the 12-kilometre Papillons hiking trail and with the promise of a swim from the lake beach at the end. Meanwhile, at Anjou Sport Nature (15 minutes) you can sign up for various activities like treetop trails, treasure hunts and archery. For an outdoor day with a twist, head to Terra Botanica (20 minutes), a plant-inspired theme park with various shows and attractions, or meet the exotic residents of Le Jardin Des Kangourous (half an hour). If it’s not outdoor weather, head 126 metres underground on the mining train at La Mine Bleue (25 minutes). You’ll get a good taste of history wandering around the streets of Angers (25 minutes) and stopping by at its château and fine arts museum. Appetite for more châteaux? Visit Château du Plessis-Bourré (15 minutes) or Château de Serrant (half an hour).
