  • Shaded family-friendly site on the outskirts of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne
  • Walking distance from the underground church and canoeing or kayaking
  • Riverside beach with a snack bar/restaurant on site; canoeing nearby
En route to Aubeterre-sur-Dronne to explore its 12th-century underground church? To enjoy an aperitif or two under the ancient lime trees? To hire out a canoe or a kayak and paddle downstream on the river Dronne? Camping Paradis Aubeterre sur Dronne is on the outskirts of the historic Charente village, just 15 minutes’ walk from its central cobbled streets and red tiles, making it an excellent base for all of the above. The scenic French village already sets the scene for this family-friendly site. The grounds are level, grassy, calm and sprinkled with shade. The river runs past the site, resulting in a relaxing sandy beach that has supervised swimming in high season and a riverside snack bar/restaurant that’s open for over eight hours and closes at midnight. If the beach has you wanting to see more of the river, there’s a canoeing and kayaking centre just five minutes’ walk from the site. Église souterraine Saint-Jean dite monolithe, the village's underground church, is just an extra 10 minutes on foot from there. For those of you who want to explore further on foot, hiking and biking trails also surround the village. There are many markets around for sourcing local handiwork or delicacies with the kids or friends. As for any family guests, if there’s a day where you want some adults-only time, the site runs its PIKI club (named after the site mascot) for children of at least six years old.

Liked: Lovely campsite in a brilliant location. Showers and toilets were cleaned regularly, spacious pitches, great bar and restaurant, river was brilliant for swimming in and children's play area/bouncy castle were perfect for keeping our children entertained while we enjoyed a drink...or two... Staff were all really friendly and there was plenty of evening entertainment.

Disliked: It wasn't a huge dislike but the evening entertainment was very loud and we were parked quite close... it felt as if it was in the caravan with us... we didn't mind but others might. We also didn't like that we weren't shown to a pitch and instead just given a map and told to go wherever we liked. This resulted us getting a bit stuck with a caravan attached to the back of the car as we went down a bit of a dead end.

Local attractions

While it’s easy to while away lots of time in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, those of you who want to take your exploration further will be in for a treat. Taste your way around the vineyards of Cognac (an hour and 15 minutes’ drive) and walk away with a bottle of its iconic brandy. Châteauneuf-sur-Charente (50 minutes) is also surrounded by vineyards, but it’s the hiking trails that take centre stage. There are limestone cliffs, climbing sites, caves and river islands surrounding this location. In Montbron (an hour), pick up the hiking trail GR 4 too, once you’ve toured the 12th-century church and the 15th-century castle at least. In Angoulême (50 minutes), expect gorgeous views over the valley below and everything from city ramparts and Romanesque architecture to paper and fine art museums. Périgueux (an hour) is just as interesting, especially when it comes to the Saint-Jean Cathedral, Roman baths and ruined temple. You might want to try your hand at a new skill while you have the time too. If so, there’s an archery centre at Archery Dordogne (20 minutes) not too far from the site, once you’ve mastered the canoeing and kayaking in the village.
