Camping Caravaning Loisirs Des Groux

What lovely and activity-filled land this is… Start off first with fishing on site into the River Seine, before ambles along its banks or taking a craft out on its waters: the Camping Caravaning Loisirs Des Groux team can point you in the right direction for boat hire and other watery activities along the river's banks. Next up should be Giverny 15 minutes' drive away, to see Claude Monet's House and Gardens, the lush space where the artist lived for over 40 years and now a space for a flower garden and a Japanese water garden as well as a museum in Monet's former house. Another beaut trip nearby is to the famed village of La-Roche-Guyon and its twelfth century château with aeons of history: it was the scene of a six-month siege after the Battle of Agincourt, and the site of General Rommel's defence of Normandy for the Allies in World War II. The fifteenth century Church of Saint-Samson in the village is also well worth a look. The vast Vexin Français Regional Nature Park covers 71,000 hectares with over 800 kilometres of trails and bike paths among a handsome landscape of villages, forests, hills and rivers: visit the park centre in the Château deThéméricourt for info on it and its environment, and take a trip along the river Oise from the launching points at  Auvers-sur-Oise and back at La Roche-Guyon.
