Condom, Gers, France
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Condom is a hidden gem, very pretty & well preserved with some lovely cafes and restaurants and a smashing municipal pool/lido 5 minutes walk from the campsite (not heated and no sun beds - take towels and a picnic blanket or camping chairs). There’s a Lidl and a huge bakery a 2 minute drive away and a couple of greengrocers, butchers and bakeries in the town centre.
We ate at the gorgeous restaurant that backs onto the campsite and overlooks the most picturesque lock on the river; they have a kitchen garden and chatty chickens you can hear across the campsite. I can highly recommend the food; we ate possibly the best meal in France that we’ve had for years, 3 courses for €30 and €20 for wine. Absolute bargain.
The campsite is fantastic; a lovely, friendly couple run it and are extremely helpful as well as speaking fluent English. The pitches are private and a good size, very green and shady across the site. Water taps are a 10 second walk from every pitch. The showers, loos and separate sinks are immaculate, as is the laundry room and washing up room.
It’s a small site but tidy and well taken care of and only a 15 minute meander along a shady riverside path into the small town centre. We stayed 2 nights as a stopover on the way to the south coast, and we wished we’d stayed another night.
