Itinéraire 01 - Confluence de Loire

On a 6-hectare field, this 2-star campsite is located in the middle of the Loire Valley, very near the château of Chaumont-sur-Loire and its International Garden Festival (from June to October), and not far from the chateaux of Beauregard, Cheverny, Troussay, Villesavin, the Old City of Blois.

It was in this region, between the Loire et Cher rivers, that the Kings of France loved to come to hunt and where they also built the most beautiful residences of their kingdom.
