Camping Touristique de Gien

As well as the outdoorsy options all around, several townie and city days are easy to get to from Camping Touristique de Gien. Both the River Loire city of Gien and the department capital of Orléans are 45 kilometres away: potter around the first for a twelfth century castle, International Museum of Hunting of Gien and the vast ceramics museum, and the second for many more museums, the House of Joan of Arc, the Orléans port and green spaces galore. For day trips, Nevers and Bourges are both 90 kilometres away and Paris is 150km from the site. For a quieter vibe closer to home, have a day in and around the village of Briare at the end of the Briare Canal, pottering along the waterfront of the Port de Plaisance then strolling along the banks of the canal to cross the Pont Canal de Briare, the longest metal bridge in France.
