Camping Parc du Guibel

Camping Parc du Guibel is less than 10 minutes from the edge of Brière Regional Natural Park, a nature reserve you can explore on foot, by bike or canoe, from horseback, or (if all of those are a little too much effort) on a barge that brings you through the Grand Brière Mottière marsh. There’s more to it than rambling exploration too: pick your way around the ruins of the Château de Ranrouët, bring the kids to the Monkey Forest leisure park, experience a traditional Brieron village at Kerhinet open-air museum and keep your eyes on the skies at the bird reserve at Pierre Constant, all within 45 minutes of the site. Craving something more urban? Parc du Guibel is 15 minutes’ drive from the walled town of Guérande, where there’s plenty of history to uncover: wander the medieval streets, make a trip to the old ramparts and visit the museum at Porte Saint Michel. A little further afield, head to Saint-Nazaire, half an hour away, for its scenic boardwalk, the old port, the submarine Espadon and heritage museum, and the Escal-Atlantic historic ocean liner experience.
