- Small lakeside Dombes campsite five minutes’ drive from Sandrans
- Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne 10 minutes’ drive; Lyon 50 minutes
- Swimming pool, bike hire and 12-acre fishing lake on site
A location on a private wooded estate among the Dombes wetlands – nicknamed the ‘land of a thousand ponds’ – and with its own 12-acre fishing lake on site… now, doesn’t that just sound like a place that should have a distinctly laidback atmosphere?
A properly chilled-out ambience is indeed what you’ll get at Paradis des Dombes, a family-friendly site about five minutes’ drive from the sleepy village of Sandrans in the Ain department.
This tree-shaded haven of peace is thoroughly conducive to relaxation: there’s an outdoor pool for swims and sunbathing, and the terrace restaurant serves up simple cuisine made from local produce. If you’d rather sort the catering yourself, barbecues are permitted on site, and there are picnic tables liberally dotted around on the lawns.
There’s plenty of active stuff to do too, should you be so minded, with swings and climbing frames in the playground and a bouncy castle for younger children, plus pétanque courts, volleyball and badminton nets and a ping-pong table for active sorts of all ages.
If you’re keen to explore the watery hinterland of the campsite, you can borrow bicycles from reception and head off into the (conveniently flat) countryside. There are also walks along largely traffic-free rural lanes – particularly handy for exercising any canine companions you may have brought along.

Local attractions
Walks and bike rides can take you out into the surrounding countryside directly from the site, and the area also has options for things like horse riding, golf, hot air balloon rides and tree-climbing adventures (for these, head to Vanciaventure, 35 minutes' drive away).
Gentle strolls around local towns and cities come highly recommended too. Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne (10 minutes' drive) has a gorgeous medieval core that’s wonderful to explore on any day – but it's particularly excellent on Saturday, when the market rolls into town. Medieval Pérouges (25 minutes) is another nice place for a wander – as, of course, is Lyon (50 minutes), with its Roman ruins and plethora of places to eat.
If you're into your wines, you’ll also probably want to take a trip to Beaujolais (half an hour), where several vineyards and wineries are open for tours and tastings. Kids on holiday with you? Bird Park Villars-les-Dombes (15 minutes) is probably a better option…
