  • Quiet, riverside and family-friendly campsite in the Essonne region
  • A 20-minute drive to Fontainebleau Forest and Massif des Trois Pignons
  • River and pond fishing, play area, trampoline; shops 20 minutes’ drive
If you’re after a country weekend away from Paris, an angling break within walking distance of a river or a family holiday with lots going on to keep kids occupied, then you have three very good reasons to look at Le Cattiaux Camping, five minutes’ drive from Courdimanche-sur-Essonne in the Essonne department. Boutigny-sur-Essonne railway station – from where trains connect with Paris in around an hour – is also five minutes’ drive away from the site, which sits next to the Essonne river and Belésbat Pond, known for barbel and carp fishing. And as for the kids, well, there’s a trampoline, pool, table football, pétanque and ping-pong available, as well as a playground with climbing frames for toddlers. Plenty, then, to keep them busy for (hopefully) days. Barbecues are provided (pick up provisions in Boutigny-sur-Essonne, five minutes’ drive), and there are washing machines and dryers in the amenities block to make sure everyone keeps looking their best. The nearly 10-acre rural campsite is dog-friendly too, and surrounded by woodland criss-crossed with footpaths for exercising your pets (and the kids, should they need more distraction). And as well as fishing in the river or Belésbat Pond and an 18-hole golf course (five minutes’ drive), there are climbing, hiking and horse-riding routes in Fontainebleau Forest (20 minutes).

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked De zonnige plek

Disliked Gedoe over de hond, gedoe over de kinderen, die een beetje op onderzoek waren, er was helemaal niets te doen op de camping. Zelfs het meer was een vieze groene drap. Eigenaars reageerde zeer onaardig. Zijn snel weg gegaan.

Liked Der Platz war sauber und sehr ruhig.

Disliked Die Anbindung des RER nach Paris ist ok, aber leider aufgrund von Bauarbeiten wegen Schienenersatzverkehr momentan sehr zeitaufwendig und umständlich.

Local attractions

Anyone wanting to tick some impressive châteaux off their sightseeing list can head for Fontainebleau Palace (half an hour’s drive) for guided tours of royal apartments and exhibitions about Napoleon I, while the castle at Domaine de Courances (15 minutes) has a spectacular Renaissance-era water garden to explore. Arty types should make a point of visiting ‘Le Cylop’, a massive Jean Tinguely sculpture located in forest near historic Milly-la-Forêt (both 10 minutes), where you can see a 15th-century covered market as well as artist Jean Cocteau’s frescoes in the medieval Chapel of Saint-Blaise-des-Simples. If climbing is more your style, the Massif de Fontainebleau (20 minutes) has rocky sites suitable for all ages and abilities. Experts get stuck into bouldering at Rocher Cuvier Châtillon (45 minutes), or scale steep cliffs in the Gorges d’Apremont (half an hour). Families can follow hiking trails through the Gorges de Franchard (40 minutes), and there are several climbing circuits – from easy to challenging – in the Massif des Trois Pignons (20 minutes).
