  • Family-friendly Rhône-Alpes campsite on the banks of the River Saône
  • Cave de Lugny 35 minutes by bike; Abbaye de Cluny 35 minutes
  • Kids’ entertainment, swimming pool; snack bar, restaurant and pizzeria
Sometimes you need to keep the kids entertained on holiday, and sometimes you’d just appreciate time off from the chores of daily life. Well, at Aux Rives du Soleil you can do both, and plenty more besides. Squeezed between the River Saône and its tributary the Reyssouze, this tree-shaded Rhône-Alpes campsite five minutes’ drive from Pont-de-Vaux has a tremendous amount going for it. Let’s consider the activities for starters. Toddlers can look forward to a small petting zoo, a playground with slides and seesaws, and a paddling pool that you can supervise from the surrounding picnic lawns. In high season, daily entertainment ranges from craft workshops to sports galas, as well as mini-discos and ghost tours in the evening. Parents and older kids get a look in too: competent swimmers have a full-size pool at their disposal, along with table-tennis, football and beach volleyball. Play pétanque, go wild swimming in the Saône, fish off the jetties or paddle kayaks down river. In the evening, get together for riotous sessions of bingo, quizzes and live music. And chores? What chores? Two modern amenities blocks with launderettes (and dog showers) make keeping everybody and everything clean a cinch, and there’s no need to lift a finger in the kitchen if you don’t feel like it, thanks to a bread-delivery service, all-day snacks in the food court and a choice of pizzeria or terrace restaurant for eating en famille.

Powered grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite (riverside)

Liked: The location, very close to motorway. great food on site, beautiful location and part shaded pitches helped with keeping cool. staff Amazingly friendly and helpful. and having fishing rights on the river. superb will definitely return.

Disliked: very little. the only small issue is the size of the pool, when needed got very busy but adequate really.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Lovely outdoor bar area. Lots of seating in a lovely setting

Disliked: Pool is very small for the amount of guests. The river didn’t look to inviting although there were people jet skiing, boarding etc. if you are towing a caravan, be prepared to be on top of your neighbours with very little space. I would recommend upgrading to an electric pitch. Quite spacious with plenty of shade.

Local attractions

If historic landmarks are on your sightseeing agenda, you’re in luck, as the stately Benedictine Abbaye de Cluny is only 35 minutes’ drive away, with its ornate bell towers, peaceful cloisters and art museum. Abbaye Saint-Philibert de Tournus (20 minutes’ drive) is a Romanesque masterpiece adorned with mosaics, and there are lavish apartments to tour at Château de Cormatin (35 minutes). Aux Rives du Soleil sits in the scenic wine region of Burgundy, so if you fancy a taster or two of local vintages, Cave de Viré - La Maison Vérizet (10 minutes) is known for its excellent Chardonnays… or for something a bit unusual, take an e-scooter tour through the vineyards, ending up at a tasting in the cellars of Cave de Lugny (35 minutes by bike). If the kids need more action, take them cycling (bring your own bikes) on the riverside path along La Voie Bleue–Moselle-Saône (direct from the site), or introduce them to golf at Golf de Mâcon La Salle (15 minutes). Fancy time on the water? Rent life jackets from reception and go canoeing or kayaking along the Saône (again, from the site).
