  • Friendly and spacious holiday park in the grounds of a Norman château
  • By the River Seine, 15 minutes' drive from Château Gaillard or Gaillon
  • Direct river access, tennis court, miniature golf, fishing and bar
Sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself and swap daily life for a bit of 'la vie de château'… and that's where this friendly Upper Normandy site comes in. Set in stately home grounds, with a spread of quality facilities and direct access to the scenic River Seine, it's quite simply a top spot to put down roots in while on a break in northern France. As the name implies, Château de Bouafles is in the grounds of a rather handsome manor. There's an appropriately lordly range of amenities here, including a well-equipped laundry room, fresh morning bread deliveries daily (except Wednesdays), a bar, a games room and books to borrow. If your hands need a bit of rejuvenation after making use of the site's washing-up points, simply chat to reception about getting your nails done on site – yet another potential perk of staying here. Don’t worry, the rest of your body and mind are catered for as well – there's fishing in the river, a launch where boats and kayaks can be floated, a miniature golf course, a playground and a full-size tennis court to keep guests occupied. Away from base, you can spend your downtime exploring the local area's other châteaux (including the fine specimen 15 minutes' drive away at Gaillard), sailing up and down the Seine or simply browsing the weekly street markets in Gaillon (15 minutes), Vernon (20 minutes) or Louviers (25 minutes).

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked: One of the best places we have ever stayed in, superb. Plenty to do for the kids. The owners are a wonderful couple, so friendly and so very helpful. The highest praise we can possibly give anyone reading this, is that we cannot wait to go back later this year, the whole family loved it there, highly recommended and cannot thank them enough for a perfect stay. Forgot to mention, toilet blocks spotlessly clean.

Disliked: Nothing, everything was lovely

From the manager: thank you for your lovely compliments, which mean a lot to us You're a beautiful family and it's been a pleasure getting to know you. See you soon

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked: This is a beautiful, well equipped site in the heart of rural Normandy. The owners and their wolf dog, Tao, are very welcoming and are on hand to help with any queries. The chateau itself plays host to a wide selection of activities, as well as a very reasonably priced bar. The daily bakery deliveries are a must, there's northing like fresh croissants in the morning! The pitches themselves are huge, probably 2 or 3 times the size of what you'd expect in England. The toilet and shower facilities were perfectly clean and serviceable, with plenty of hot water. There are also plenty of circular wals directly from the site as their is a footpath that runs straight through the middle of it. Overall, I would highly recommend this site to anyone considering this part of France.

Local attractions

Get set for a bit of a climb and a lot of picture-snapping at Château Gaillard (15 minutes’ drive): the grand hilltop castle, the old stomping ground of Richard the Lionheart, has mind-boggling views over the River Seine. Évreux Cathedral (30 minutes) is another site of fancy – its sheer size enough to make your head spin. For a test of strength and bravery, battle the high ropes at Acroforest (40 minutes). Alternatively, head to Golf de Gaillon (15 minutes) for a gentler piece of the action. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into one of Monet’s paintings at his preserved home and gardens in Giverny (25 minutes). Once you’ve had your fill of fancy plants, make room for the other face of nature and greet the animals at Biotropica Zoo (35 minutes). If city living is more down your avenue, Rouen (40 minutes) and Paris (an hour and 15) aren’t out of reach. For families with kids, you can admire all the best French cities in miniature form at France Miniature (an hour), a good pick for little feet not fit to take on the real-life cities on foot.
