Camping Chantecler

2 reviews

Dog-friendly site four kilometres from the centre of Aix-en-Provence
A 25-minute drive to Montagne Sainte-Victoire; 40 minutes to Marseille
Part of 10-hectare grounds with local products for sale

The first step to crafting your Aix-en-Provence getaway? Start by snatching up a spot at Camping Chantecler, which is just four kilometres away from the city centre. Once you’re all set up, with the dog and any kids comfy too, all that’s left is to get exploring… To the city of art, first of all? As the birthplace of the painter Paul Cézanne, your first pitstop might be Musée Granet (five minutes’ drive), which houses works by him and others including Picasso. Stroll the old part of Aix, down its typical alleyways and past hole-in-the-wall restaurants, or along the chic Cours Mirabeau. An opera festival takes place every summer in the city too. For a change from city scenery, Montagne Sainte-Victoire is only 25 minutes’ drive from Camping Chantecler if you fancy a climb to the top. It's a peaceful green place to spend a few hours wandering – and so is the campsite itself. It has a large swimming pool in the high season, plus wifi and local products for sale, along with 10 hectares of space in which to relax. Views of the Sainte-Victoire mountain are all around to look at while you chill out, but the site is also well based for getting active out in the open air. You might like to take a walk in the countryside that inspired Cézanne, or stop in at local vineyards for a wine tasting or two; they’re within around 10 minutes’ drive of the site.

Local attractions

Looking for your first adventure outside of Aix-en-Provence? The lush lavender fields of Valensole (55 minutes’ drive) are a very worthy contender, not to mention a top photography spot. Just as lush are the historic villages of the Luberon, like Ansouis (35 minutes), surrounded by vineyards, or pretty Bonnieux (an hour) and Cucuron (40 minutes). Back in Aix-en-Provence, one splendid museum is Fondation Vasarely (10 minutes). It’s not about the famed Cézanne but rather about the 20th-century French artist Victor Vasarely. A lesser-known spot is Cézanne's studio (10 minutes), which arranges cultural and foodie events. There’s another big city within reach too, the marvellous Marseille (40 minutes), which has a whole host of historical sites. If, however, the lively streets aren’t to your liking, take off on foot over the Cassis creeks, which run from Marseille to Cassis (40 minutes) and have limestone cliffs, crags for climbers and hiking paths.

Hubert F. Jan 2023

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked: Die Reception war sehr freundlich, dafür 5/5 Punkten.

Disliked: Die Sanitäranlagen sind in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch sauber. Der Platz an sich ist hügelig und eng. Für Gespanne ist er eine echte Herausforderung. Für Gespanne über 11m Gesamtlänge kann ich den Platz nicht empfehlen. Den Übernachtungspreis von 35 Euro, der vorher zu entrichten war, fand ich zu hoch für die Nebensaison und die angebotene Leistung.
