This traditional site’s rural setting around two lakes makes it a tranquil place to stay off-peak, while in the summer it is a livelier location for families. Converted farm buildings house the attractive restaurant and bar, and the amenities are well cared for although dated.
You’ll receive a friendly welcome on arrival, and the staff can offer lots of information about the area and cycling routes through the surrounding countryside.
Nearby are a number of wine regions including Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, where you can join tastings, and the local cycling is undemanding and scenic. Nearby Briare has a lovely waterfront and boat trips can be taken along the canals.

We took advantage of a 10% discount by booking for 7 nights but wish we hadn’t. Whilst the site was well managed and the facilities were well maintained we found the location a bit isolated, albeit the local town of Gien was only a matter of about 5 miles away... Show more

Ideal as a stop over, but some of the falcilities, ie, toilets and indoor swimming pool looked abit tired. Wouldn't use the site as a main holiday base. Staff very friendly and helpful.
