The historic city centre of Belfort, with its café-lined squares and elegant quay along the river Savoureuse, is barely five minutes’ drive or bike ride away – and yet staying at Camping L’Etang des Forges makes guests feel as if they’re completely enveloped by nature. This is doubtless thanks to the site’s three and a half hectares of lush greenery on the shoreline of the L’Etang des Forges – though the spectacular landscapes that surround it also contribute.
Camping L’Etang des Forges sits between the foothills of the Vosges, Alsace and Jura mountains of eastern France, which should translate into a pretty decent time for keen hikers (and their dogs), who can explore the woodland walks crossing the Forêt valdoie (five minutes' drive or 45 minutes on foot) or the paths leading up Salbert mountain (20 minutes/an hour and 15 minutes).
Those who want to take it a little easier can stick to the lake by the site, which has shaded waterside paths for walks or bike rides (with cycle hire available on site), plus picnic areas and a dog park. Or take a stroll around Belfort, visiting the fortified Old Town and stopping at the market, cathedral and modern art museum.
As well as some rather splendid views, this site has an outdoor pool, a shaded playground and a pétanque court. Teenagers not so keen on physical activity might find their way to the TV room or the games room instead. The on-site restaurant serves local specialities, and there are more dining options in the centre of Belfort. Supermarkets and other food shops are within walking distance for those who’d like to get a barbecue or picnic going instead.

Local attractions
There are plenty of options around for those who’d like a bit of outdoor activity on their holiday – perhaps head to Lac de Malsaucy (10 minutes’ drive) for a waterside walk, a paddle and some watersports, or venture north into the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park (15 minutes) for a more challenging hike.
Being not far from the Alsace region, you may also like to take a trip over there to explore pretty urban areas like Mulhouse (50 minutes) and Colmar (an hour) with their museums and half-timbered buildings, or take a tour around the smaller villages and wine-growing areas.
For other days out, you could check out all the vintage vehicles at Musée de L’Aventure Peugeot (25 minutes) and Musée National de l’Automobile (40 minutes) or take a wander around Notre Dame du Haut (half an hour), a hill with lovely views and a collection of sacred buildings by architects such as Le Corbusier and Renzo Piano.
