Surroundings
La Loire à Vélo
This popular 900-kilometer-long cycling route along the Loire River in France runs from Cuffy (near Nevers) to Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (near Nantes). The route takes you through the heart of the historic French Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage area known for its beautiful landscapes, castles, and vineyards. Along the way, you will encounter charming towns and villages, such as Orléans, Blois, Saumur, and Angers. You will also pass many of the famous castles of the Loire Valley, such as Château de Chambord, Château de Cheverny, and Château de Villandry. La Loire à Vélo is a great way to explore the Loire Valley and experience the region's natural beauty, history, and culture on two wheels.
The castle of Gien
Just a 10-minute drive from the glamping is Gien. One of the first things you'll notice is the impressive castle. Not only can you admire it from the outside, you can also take a look inside. Inside the castle, you'll find a museum where you can learn more about hunting, nature, and the history of the Loire region. Afterwards, take a stroll along the river and end your day on a terrace by the water.
The Briare Canal Bridge
The Briare Aqueduct crosses the Loire River and was designed by the French engineer Gustave Eiffel, who is best known for designing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The canal bridge is 662 meters long and is considered one of Eiffel's greatest technical achievements. You can view or discover its unique design and engineering during a boat trip.
The Musée du Cirque et de l'Illusion
The circus and illusion museum in Dammarie-en-Puisaye (28 km) is a unique and educational museum that offers a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the circus and illusions. It is a great destination for families and anyone interested in the world of entertainment. Try out illusions yourself and learn about the history of magic and illusion. Or follow a workshop and learn magic tricks from professional artists.

We were very disappointed by this comping the mobile home was old, with several pieces of furniture broken or very fragile. The lack of air conditioning during the heat wave made our stay very difficult. For a 5-star comping we expected much better. Too bad

Nous avons été très déçus par ce comping le mobil-home était ancien , avec plusieurs meubles cassés ou très fragiles. L’absence de climatisation pendant la canicule a rendu le séjour très difficile. Pour un comping de 5 étoiles nous nous attendions à beaucoup mieux. Dommage

Great first experience with my 4 kids, the mobi-homes are very clean (although I had to share a room with my two daughters) but overall it was nice. The indoor pool is really nice, and the staff are really cool and friendly. The only drawback was the weather, but I won't hesitate to come back for more activities and sun. Thank you for your warm welcome
