  • Dog-friendly pitches in a quiet area of the Meuse countryside
  • A 20-minute drive from the Verdun battlefields; 55 minutes from Metz
  • Rural walks nearby; a 10-minute drive to shops and restaurants
Always on the lookout for a peaceful place with a good supply of places to go for a scenic rural walk, and some tasty meals nearby? Pull in at Amelin’Aire, a small and simple site tucked away in a quiet part of the Meuse countryside. This relaxed Lorraine location is just a 25-minute drive from the river Meuse and the splendid city of Verdun where leafy riverside streets are filled with characterful cafés and restaurants. Verdun's Old Town is home to a Gothic cathedral, a museum and an art gallery, so if you like to work up an appetite with a good bit of sightseeing, that's sorted. The city isn't far off, but staying at Amelin’Aire means that you have countryside on all sides, so you'll be able to get out and explore the rural lanes easily enough while you're here (and your dog is welcome to join you too). It's all very rural and peaceful, but the site is still only a 10-minute drive from local shops and restaurants should you want to pick up supplies or wine and dine. This is also a prime base for those interested in the historic Battle of Verdun fought in 1916. It’s a 20-minute drive from the Verdun battlefield, including the Trench of Bayonets, forts and the Verdun Memorial Museum. The setup on site is fairly simple, with just picnic tables and some low-level lighting to help you find your way around after dark; please note there are no toilets or showers provided.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked: Peacefulness, edge of village location, rural views, . Large pitches, nicely gravelled. neat. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, it was great that the lady spoke good English as my French is poor. Quiet, I only stayed one night but I think in all that time only half a dozen vehicles passed by. I used my own 5g for internet.

Chris D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked: Rustige ruime plaats. Picknick gelegenheid..in een rustig boeren dorpje..Makkelijk als tussenstop of voor de thuisreis..Wel electrischiteit, maar geen Douche of WC. Op zondag kun je verse croissants en chocolade broodjes en stokbrood kopen.

Disliked: Dat er geen WC was...dat vindt ik toch wel een must..Maar was voor ons niet onoverkomelijk..wij hadden een chemisch toilet...maar heeft niet onze voorkeur..Douche zou ook lekker zijn, maar wij begrijpen dat dat veel vergt voor deze zeer kleine camping met 4 plaatsen.

Local attractions

This area saw a lot of action during World War I, and there are a couple of intriguing historic remnants to seek out while you're out exploring the local countryside. These include the eerie structures of Camp Marguerre (15 minutes’ drive) and the stark concrete walls of Trench of Bayonets (20 minutes). A wander around the destroyed village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont (25 minutes) is also a sobering experience. To learn a little bit more about how the war unfolded here, stop in at the Verdun Memorial (20 minutes) en route to Verdun itself (25 minutes). Once you're in the city, head underground to the historic citadel, visit the cathedral and take walks along the banks of the Meuse. For other days out, take a walk around Longuyon (20 minutes) to see the Romanesque-Gothic church before taking a swim in the pool, or spend some time learning about ancient crafts at Les Vieux Métiers (20 minutes). A day out in Metz (55 minutes) is also a good bet, to take in attractions from the Gothic cathedral to the ultra-modern Centre Pompidou-Metz.
