  • Spacious family-friendly site in the scenic Haute-Marne
  • A five-minute drive from Langres and the source of the Marne river
  • Outdoor pool, miniature golf, sauna, restaurant and small food shop
When hols among trees, close to watersports and within easy reach of a healthy dash of history are beckoning, pop that cork in celebration at finding Camping de La Croix d’Arles, a family-friendly site in the Champagne-Ardenne (five minutes’ drive from Bourg and Langres) that ticks all those boxes. Stays on this well-wooded site will see guests able to unwind in hammocks slung beneath cherry, oak and pine trees, swim, hike and birdwatch on the nearby Villegusien lake (10 minutes from base – it’s a reservoir in truth, but one of the famed four lakes of Langres), and dive into history at a handful of spots including old Gallo-Roman ruins. If exploring far beyond site sounds like too much, opt to stay put instead. Guests can spend days taking cooling dips in the outdoor pool or lounging poolside, trying hands at pétanque or miniature golf, finding peace in the sauna, or spending quiet moments on the terrace. Eats are well-catered for here too: barbecue facilities are dotted around site and supplies can be secured at the small food shop. Prefer to let someone else do the cooking? A restaurant is open from April to mid-October, and has special menus for kids and those with dietary restrictions.

Manuela P.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Sehr ruhig mitten im Wald
Konnten gut schlafen nach der ersten Etappe zurück nach Hause.
Gute Gastronomie vor Ort

Disliked Toiletten und die Duschen sehr dreckig.
Wir sind dann doch lieber im Wohnwagen zum Klo gegangen und haben es vorgezogen zu Hause zu duschen

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Lovely welcome upon arrival, and the food was nice and good quality. We only stayed 1 night on our way back from the South. Would have happily stayed longer.

Disliked Whilst clean the showers needed some updating. But they were lovely and hot!

Local attractions

Stays hereabouts would be incomplete without a taste of history, so get started with a trip into Langres, five minutes’ drive away. The small town is home to an impressive fortified wall (parts of which are more than 2,000 years old) with seven towers and seven gateways. Begin visits to the town by walking or biking the ramparts, then turn attention to the cathedral and the stunning Navarre Tower. For non-drivers, Langres can be reached via a greenway joinable 700 metres from the site. Hikes and bike rides along this route will also bring explorers as far as La Liez, the largest of the four lakes (otherwise a 20-minute drive), where waterskiing, wakeboarding and sailing are to be tried, and where pike and carp can be caught. A sandy beach also beckons for lazy days of swimming and sunbathing. The other two lakes – La Mouche and Charmes – are within 25 minutes, and it’s just five minutes from base to the source of the mighty Marne river. This is France, bien sûr, so it should come as no surprise that a wealth of chateaux are within reach. The nearest is Château du Pailly, 15 minutes away, which is considered one of the best examples of renaissance architecture in Champagne-Ardenne. Castles aren’t the only historical draw round here either: the abandoned (yet scenic) forts of Cognelot and Peigney are both within 15 minutes, and the pristinely pretty 12th-century Abbaye Auberive is 25 minutes away.
