  • Quiet Charente-Maritime site half an hour’s drive from La Rochelle
  • Marais Poitevin 10 minutes’ drive and Rochefort-sur-Mer 45 minutes
  • Access to local tennis courts, football pitch and summer pool
Located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Charente-Maritime countryside half an hour’s drive from historic La Rochelle, Camping La Mouette Rieuse is on the outskirts of the lively village of Courçon. It’s a peaceful and laidback site with a woodland setting, welcoming all comers (and their four-legged companions) to spacious tree-shaded grounds. Quiet it may be, but the site still packs a punch activities-wise. You have free use of the supervised neighbouring swimming pool (every afternoon in July/August, weekends in June), and there’s a football pitch and pétanque court at Courçon’s municipal sports complex (five minutes’ walk), where you can also play tennis. Barbecues are at your disposal, but if you’re not a fan of outdoor cooking, simply make a beeline for the Le Mojito terrace-snack bar, where the kids can gorge on ice creams, croque monsieur sandwiches and paninis while you sample a cocktail or two. In high season, bread is delivered from a local bakery (please order in the evening for next-day delivery) and you can enjoy your breakfast coffee and organise your day on the terrace while listening to the birds singing. The site hosts quiz games on some evenings in July and August, and there are also weekly themed meals: dishes from Réunion Island like chicken curry and samosas are available on Sunday night, kebabs and burgers on Wednesday and moules-frites on Thursday.

Local attractions

Staying at La Mouette Rieuse puts you in a handy location for discovering the Charente-Maritime region. You might like to start with a day exploring the old port, historic ramparts and aquarium at La Rochelle (half an hour’s drive). Rochefort-sur-Mer (45 minutes) is also rich in maritime heritage, with an impressive transporter bridge, a museum of rope-making at the Centre International de la Mer and a life-size replica of the frigate ‘Hermione’. There are two splendidly old-time islands to explore nearby. Take a ferry from La Rochelle to Île d’Oléron to spend the day on a sandy beach and eat oysters for lunch; be sure to check out the famed Fort Boyard sitting offshore on the east coast. Île de Ré is reached by bridge from the mainland, and offers easy cycling to the Vauban fortifications at Saint-Martin-de-Ré or the Phare des Baleines lighthouse for far-reaching ocean views. For more adventures in nature, Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park (10 minutes) has a myriad of hiking and biking trails in its marshy wetlands; you can also take a cruise down the park’s network of waterways aboard a traditional flat-bottomed boat.
