  • Well-kept grass pitches on the river Le Cher, in the Loire Valley
  • Château de Chenonceau five minutes’ drive; Tours 40 minutes
  • Wild swimming and pool; playground and pétanque; restaurant and bar
What springs to mind when you hear the words ‘Loire Valley’? Elegant châteaux, maybe… or delicious wines. Well, both are within easy reach from Camping Le Moulin Fort, a peaceful, tree-shaded site on the banks of the river Le Cher (a tributary of the Loire), outside the village of Francueil and about 40 minutes’ drive from Tours. The proximity to the river gives you the chance to indulge in a spot of wild swimming, though there is also a pool on site (and a paddling area) should you prefer a more enclosed experience. And is there a more pleasant way of spending a summer evening than by watching the river flow past as you cradle a glass of regional wine in your hands? The wine is available from the on-site bar – though you might also like to build your own personal hoard as you visit local vineyards. A playground includes swings and slides, and the entire family might like to take part in ping-pong, miniature golf or pétanque tournaments; you can also set up the ultimate checkmate on the giant chess board. Charcuterie boards, pizzas and burgers are available from the restaurant, or you might want to spark up the barbecue. For provisions, the on-site shop should be your first port of call, or there is a supermarket in Saint-Georges-sur-Cher (five minutes’ drive). For breakfast, be sure to take advantage of the daily bread and pastries service. Level grass pitches come with optional electric hook-up, and the site also has two well-maintained toilet blocks (including facilities for disabled guests), a drying room and a launderette.

What customers say

Riverside pitches with great views, close to Chenonceau. Friendly staff, good, affordable restaurant. Pool and showers clean but dated. Pre-order bread a bonus. Small shop missing, occasional noise.

Power optional grass site

Liked Location by river.

Disliked €10 charge for washing machine and tumble dryer usage per load.
N.B. Next site we stayed at there was no charge. Feel totally ripped off. Plus x2 tumble dryers weren’t even working when we first arrived. Not great.

Not bad, but not sure we’d return.

Power optional grass site

Liked Proximity to the chateau; pleasant riverside setting; ability to order bread etc for collection for the following morning (pre-order); friendly staff and the restaurant which was good and reasonably priced. Pool looked nice, but didn’t get to use due to poor weather.

Disliked Sanitary facilities were ok, but didn’t appear to be cleaned or if they were it wasn’t very well.

Local attractions

Straddling the river Cher, the Château de Chenonceau (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk) was built in the early 1500s. Its elegantly opulent rooms house a remarkable art collection that includes works by Veronese and Rubens. The riverside formal gardens are a top spot for a stroll, before heading to the Labyrinth in the parkland. The vast grounds of ZooParc de Beauval (half an hour) feature several themed areas, such as On China Heights (home to giant pandas), Le Clan des Loups, with packs of wolves, and the Dôme Équatorial, housing tropical beasties such as anacondas, manatees and Komodo dragons. The cobbled streets of Tours’ old centre are lined with half-timbered buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. The Musée du Compagnonnage, in a former abbey, displays tools and items produced by local craft guilds, while the Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (CCC OD) puts on contemporary art exhibitions.
