Fish in the river

  • Riverside site on the Loir banks, with fishing direct from the site
  • A 10-minute stroll from Durtal and the 11th-century Château de Durtal
  • Pools, playground, canoe hire, bar and takeaway snacks
If you're off for a riverside hol anywhere in la France, it should certainly be the Loir. Proximity to the Loir valley is fairly fab too (pour les châteaux, and other attractions like troglodyte cave houses), and then there's Loir river fishing, canoeing, bike trails – and wherever you are in the land it's mighty fine to be within strolling distance of town and a swish boulangerie too… That boulangerie is in Durtal and that Loir location is under 10 minutes' amble from town at Camping Les Portes de Anjou, a green and scenic Maine-et-Loire site next to the river. As befits such a strategic waterside setting, you can fish straight from the site here, as well as hire canoes to drift off down the river. The GR 35 hiking trail is accessible from the Portes de Anjou grounds. Around the site, there's stacks to do for all ages, including a big playground with a trampoline and table tennis. There's also an indoor games room with table football, pool and pinball, plus a pétanque court and bike hire. In high season (July and August), take to the water at the open-air pool complex, which is made up of a main pool and a paddling area. The complex (a public pool which is closed on Sundays and Mondays) is directly accessible from the campsite. For meals or drinks, you can either order bits to take away or head to the bar (open every evening in July and August). Fresh bread and pastries are also available for delivery every day in July and August.

Jean A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass site

Liked: Large pitches with privacy. Beautiful position beside the river. Helpful staff. Peaceful.

Disliked: Due to very heavy rain the night before we arrived, the pitch was very wet and it was hard getting the caravan in and out. Although the website states Wi-Fi, only 30mins is free.

Local attractions

After fishing, canoeing and sampling a wide selection of pastries in town, set off from the Portes de Anjou grounds on the GR 35 trail for a stroll or hike. You're well placed too for woodland walks in the forest of Chambiers, within about 10 minutes by car or 40 minutes by foot, and around the spectacular 11th-century Château de Durtal, under a kilometre away. Then take off on a châteaux trip, to the Château de Baugé, 20 minutes' drive away, and the Château d'Angers, 30 minutes away in Angers. The zoo at La Flèche is 20 minutes from the site.
