Why stay here ...

This high-quality site sits in the heart of the Burgundy wine country, between Beaune and Mâcon and in the grounds of a 16th century château. With its own fishing lake and wooded areas, it’s home to a variety of wildlife, giving the whole site a relaxed, natural ambiance.

Gert-Jan and his team work hard to make guests feel at home and are enthusiastic about the region. Adults can enjoy a wine tasting, twice a week, in the château’s cellars between mid July to middle of August.

Around and about there are lots of vineyards, and visits can be arranged to the local caves. The town of Tournus is close by and has a long history. It’s worth exploring the Romanesque abbey and browsing the arts and crafts shops in the squares around it. Those feeling more adventurous can reach Besançon or Dijon in a little over an hour.

Wow - fabulous relaxing site time for some luxury

Loved it here, a very well professionally run site, from welcome reception, to everyday advice and support. You may well end up just staying put and enjoying the grounds and facilities. If you fancy a cycle ride would recommend an 18 mile flat round trip along the river to Tournus,... Show more

Our allocated super pitch was the largest we have ever experienced at some... Show more

Lovely, welcoming site

Lovely welcoming site. We were not happy with the pitch allocated and they did everything they could to make it right. We stayed on a pitch by the play field and it was perfect for the kids to play on and was a nice communal feel to it. The pools... Show more

Worth 6 stars

We have used L'Eperviere normally for short stays and always enjoyed the facilities on offer. This year we used it for a longer stay and was not disappointed. The area surrounding the Chateau is ideal for waking and biking. Sennecy le Grand is a lovely place with an... Show more

Great Stopover

We stayed for one night on the way back from the South and would have liked to stay a little longer. The site is beautifully laid out and we were given a large pitch which enabled us to stay hooked up for an early departure. The sanitary facilities were... Show more

Convenient for one-night stop or longer stays

Stayed two nights enroute to Switzerland. 10-15 min drive from autoroute with good access. Level pitches and very open feel even when busy. Friendly staff. Excellent restaurant. Pleasant cycling/walking by the River Saone.
