  • Five-minute walk from the city centre of Bléré
  • Explore the Touraine vineyards
  • Equestrian centre and leisure centre within walking distance
Off to see how many of the Touraine vineyards you can get around during a break in France's Indre-et-Loire? Combine a) this fine ambition + b) city sightseeing with a stay at Camping La Gâtine, only a five-minute walk from the city centre of Bléré. Activities are easily sorted from here too – well, you'll need to exercise off all that vino – as La Gâtine is next to a sports centre with a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, mini golf, playgrounds and sailing courses. An equestrian centre and a leisure centre for sailing, canoeing and waterskiing are also within walking distance. On site, Camping La Gâtine's facilities include free wifi throughout, a games room with TV, a washing machine and tumble dryer, and three modern amenities blocks. The site is disabled-friendly.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The lady in reception was very friendly and helpful when I called and emailed about late check in. The site itself is very green with lots of trees and grass, quiet and peaceful. Located in a pretty little town next to the river. Facilities are not bad. We had a good time and would like to come back.

Liked: El entorno y que había bastante sombra, parcelas muy grandes y llanas.

Disliked: Los sanitarios muy dejados, llenos de arañas y no había papel ni jabón de manos, los fregaderos fatal se salía el agua, no trabajaba bien y salía poca agua. También bastantes bichos en general.
