Stopover Hotels

Whether you’re planning to travel to the north, south or central France, there’s one thing you may wish to consider and that’s booking a stopover hotel. We have travelled to many different parts of France at various times of the year and each and every time we’ve travelled we’ve always thought about booking a stopover at a hotel en-route.

Easter Holidays and breaks are becoming more popular year after year for those wishing to get away for a camping holiday in France. By the time the Easter holidays come around, last years summer holiday and even the Christmas break will seem like a lifetime away. Many families use the Easter holidays as a time to save money and take a short break abroad to recharge.

ZooParc de Beauval, Saint Aignan

ZooParc de Beauval is one of the best zoological parks in France, if not the world! Located at Saint-Aignan in the Loir-et-Cher department of France, ZooParc de Beauval is quite commonly known as just Beauval Zoo and is a wonderful place to visit. There’s a huge variety of different types of animals at the zoo including Giant Pandas which cannot be found anywhere else in France.

Chateau de Castelnaud

Chateau de Castelnaud is a stunning medieval castle which is located in the village of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle in the Dordogne region of France. Overlooking the Dordogne river between Beynac and La Roque Gageac, Chateau de Castelnaud holds a formidable position. We visited the chateau during our visit to Saint Avit Loisirs campsite where we stayed with Eurocamp.
