  • Well-kept grass pitches on the river Le Cher, in the Loire Valley
  • Château de Chenonceau five minutes’ drive; Tours 40 minutes
  • Wild swimming and pool; playground and pétanque; restaurant and bar
What springs to mind when you hear the words ‘Loire Valley’? Elegant châteaux, maybe… or delicious wines. Well, both are within easy reach from Camping Le Moulin Fort, a peaceful, tree-shaded site on the banks of the river Le Cher (a tributary of the Loire), outside the village of Francueil and about 40 minutes’ drive from Tours. The proximity to the river gives you the chance to indulge in a spot of wild swimming, though there is also a pool on site (and a paddling area) should you prefer a more enclosed experience. And is there a more pleasant way of spending a summer evening than by watching the river flow past as you cradle a glass of regional wine in your hands? The wine is available from the on-site bar – though you might also like to build your own personal hoard as you visit local vineyards. A playground includes swings and slides, and the entire family might like to take part in ping-pong, miniature golf or pétanque tournaments; you can also set up the ultimate checkmate on the giant chess board. Charcuterie boards, pizzas and burgers are available from the restaurant, or you might want to spark up the barbecue. For provisions, the on-site shop should be your first port of call, or there is a supermarket in Saint-Georges-sur-Cher (five minutes’ drive). For breakfast, be sure to take advantage of the daily bread and pastries service. Level grass pitches come with optional electric hook-up, and the site also has two well-maintained toilet blocks (including facilities for disabled guests), a drying room and a launderette.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Good sized pitches. Nice restaurant - nothing fancy but lovely burgers etc with excellent service. Swimming pool. Not unisex facilities and disabled shower sensibly positioned between the two so that you can support someone of the opposite sex - important to us.

Disliked: Shower ran tepid and it was only 9.30 AM and site not full - get in earlier!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Nicely layed out, not over crowded. Toilet block was kept absolutely spotless and plenty of hot water.
We didn't get to use the restaurant but people we met said it was good.
Location by the banks of the river means you can launch boats and SUPs directly from the site, plus loads of decent cycle tracks. Easy walk to t the chateau. Definitely will come again

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Nice campsite in a good location by the river. Good for walking and cycling, and of course canoeing and other activities on the river.
Decent size pitch with electric hook up and fresh water taps close to pitches. Good shower and toilet facilities, plenty of hot water. would have been even better with soap and hand dryer. The onsite restaurant was good with a family friendly menu. We also liked being able to order fresh bread and croissants to be delivered for breakfast the next day.
We don’t have young children, but the pool and play facilities for children seemed good.

Local attractions

Straddling the river Cher, the Château de Chenonceau (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk) was built in the early 1500s. Its elegantly opulent rooms house a remarkable art collection that includes works by Veronese and Rubens. The riverside formal gardens are a top spot for a stroll, before heading to the Labyrinth in the parkland. The vast grounds of ZooParc de Beauval (half an hour) feature several themed areas, such as On China Heights (home to giant pandas), Le Clan des Loups, with packs of wolves, and the Dôme Équatorial, housing tropical beasties such as anacondas, manatees and Komodo dragons. The cobbled streets of Tours’ old centre are lined with half-timbered buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. The Musée du Compagnonnage, in a former abbey, displays tools and items produced by local craft guilds, while the Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (CCC OD) puts on contemporary art exhibitions.
