La Loire à Vélo
This popular 900-kilometer bicycle route along the Loire River in France goes from Cuffy (near Nevers) to Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (near Nantes). The route takes you through the heart of France's historic Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its beautiful landscapes, castles and vineyards. Along the way, you'll encounter charming towns and villages such as Orleans, Blois, Saumur and Angers. You will also pass many of the Loire Valley's famous castles, 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 natural beauty, history and culture of the region on two wheels.
The castle of Gien
A 10-minute drive from the glamping is Gien. Something that immediately stands out is the imposing castle. Not only can it be admired from the outside, you can also take a look inside. Inside the castle you will find a museum. Here you can learn more about hunting, nature and the history of the Loire region. Afterwards, walk along the river, and end your day on a waterside terrace.
The Pont Canal de Briare
The Briare Aqueduct spans the Loire River and was designed by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, best known for designing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The canal bridge is 662 meters long and is considered one of Eiffel's greatest engineering achievements. You can view or explore its unique design and engineering on a boat tour.
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 provides a fascinating look at the history and culture of circus and illusions.

On vacation in August for a family of 6, the mobile home was too small, we were packed in like sardines, the bedrooms were impractical and the toilet was a tin can. No oven for cooking The hot water ran out at all times, whether in the shower or washing up, going from hot to cold and back again. And to top it all off, all activities on the Garonne had to be paid for, apart from access to the swimming pool. I've never seen anything like it, it's not worthy of a 5-star campsite. On the other hand, the site is really beautiful.

En vacances en août en famille pour 6 personnes mobilhome trop petit nous etions serré comme des sardines les chambres pas pratique les toilettes une boite d'alumette . Pas de four pour cuisiné L'eau chaude qui se barrait à tous moments de la douche où pour faire la vaisselle sa passé du chaud au froid et inversement. Et pompon sur la Garonne toutes les activités étaient payantes mis à par l'accès à la piscine j'ai jamais vue ça, c'est pas digne d'un camping 5 étoiles ça ne les vaut absolument pas . Par contre le sité est vraiment beau.

Very nice camping with lots of facilities. However looking at the condition of some of the facilities it is not worth 5 stars.

A very disappointing experience for a supposedly 5-star campsite. The friendliness of the staff leaves a lot to be desired, the welcome is icy and you almost feel like a nuisance when you ask for information. As for service, it's simply catastrophic: no responsiveness, and no particular attention to customers. For an establishment that's supposed to offer an upscale experience, this is a huge disappointment. I'd strongly advise against it if you're looking for the kind of service you'd expect from a true 5-star establishment.

Expérience très décevante pour un camping soi-disant 5 étoiles. L’amabilité du personnel laisse grandement à désirer, l’accueil est glacial et on se sent presque dérangeant en demandant des informations. Quant aux services, c’est tout simplement catastrophique : aucune réactivité, et aucune attention particulière pour les clients. Pour un établissement censé offrir une expérience haut de gamme, c’est une énorme déception. Je déconseille vivement si vous espérez des prestations dignes d’un vrai 5 étoiles.
