1 Alabaster Coast Normandy

On the beautiful Alabaster Coast in Normandy, with a pebble beach at the foot of the campsite, Camping Falaises is the ideal spot for a seaside break that is not too far from the ferry terminals of Le Havre and Caen.

Surrounded by towns and landscapes that inspired the Impressionists, with plenty of family activities on site and a spectacular walk along the clifftop, you are sure to have a relaxing holiday here. camping-les-falaises.fr

2 White Sea Brittany

The location of delightful Camping du Letty, on the Brittany coast, with a sandy beach and the White Sea only metres away, is just part of this campsite’s appeal.

The peaceful 11-hectare woodland makes this a haven for local wildlife, but there’s also a water park, with organised activities that will appeal to families, a leisure park and a spa, complete with private whirlpool baths and a professional massage service; everything you need to unwind. campingduletty.​com

3 Saumur Loire

Stay in the heart of the Loire region at Camping Isle Verte, where you can enjoy local cuisine in the on-site restaurant, including a wide selection of the area’s famous wines. Explore the Troglodyte caves, just down the road, or take a leisurely river cruise.

With the Château de Montsoreau only a 10-minute walk away, and the historic town of Saumur a 15-minute drive, there’s also plenty to please culture vultures. campingisleverte.​com

4 Watwiller Alsace

Take a break in the centre of Alsace, around 40 minutes from historic Colmar, on the wooded Camping Wattwiller site, which has everything you would expect from a Huttopia venue – great facilities, large, shaded pitches and much more.
