  • Shaded site on the banks of the Aube
  • Spectacular and peaceful setting around a 19th-century dovecot
  • Direct river access, canoe hire, playground and indoor lounge
A riverside site on a 19th-century French estate… sound boastful enough yet? Get ready to get smug with a stay at Domaine Le Colombier on the banks of the Aube, in the fizzingly fab region of Champagne-Ardenne. As you'll see from the pics, this is a lushly viewsome place, green and flower-filled with loads of room for stretching out and serious idling. And as you might gather from the name, there's a dovecot on site too: settle down beside it for a picnic to see how many pigeons you can spy flitting in and out of the colombier holes… Domaine Le Colombier is a mere minute's meander from the Aube department village of Dienville, in a Champagne-Ardenne setting between Paris and Strasbourg. It has direct access to the river for active days canoeing and swimming; hire a canoe from the team for serene hours drifting along the water. Facilities include a well-equipped playground with trampoline, along with an indoor lounge with TV, dartboard, table football and squishy sofas. Bakeries and restaurants are within easy strolling distance.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Lovely facilities shower and toilets..
Staff helpful. You could choose your pick off plan on arrival which was good.

Launderette facility was excellent too..

Disliked: Arrival time was restrictive to 3pm a lot of the day gone!

Town and churches were so pretty, we missed the market day. Very limited in the village for drinks or food.
Centre bar nice for a drink and walk to the boulangerie nice. Troyes is a lovely city to visit.

Electric optional grass pitch (riverside)

Liked: A lovely site. With exceptional customer service, the staff all speak perfect English and are always willing to help, this site is one we would come back to time and again.
The shower and washroom building was always spotless with spa like tunes playing all the time! Every pitch was worth having with a running river close to most. The town was beautiful and surrounding areas all worth a visit. The main lake just a 10 min walk. We took our dog and they were more than welcome. Thank you team for sharing your home with us.

neville p. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch (riverside)

Liked: Everything. This is without doubt the nicest campsite I have ever stayed in.
The toilets and showers are like something you would find in a 5 star hotel, with gentle lights and music.
There is a lovely decking area with deck chairs,right next to a gently flowing stream which was perfect for our dogs to swim in to cool down on a hot day.
Also plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. And a boulangerie and patisserie just outside the site for your fresh bread and cakes in the morning.
I will definitely come back

Laurence S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch (riverside)

Liked: The spacious pitch right next to the river.
Lovely village with a few shops and a very attractive church.
Good clean facilities.
Staff were very helpful and informative.

Disliked: Both the water points (there are only two) are outside the campsite gates, as are all the bins and chemical toilet disposal.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your stay and for your good review.
We have 7 water points, one at the entrance, one at the exit but also 5 other on different points of the campground which enables to refill during your stay.
We have two chimical toilet disposals, one at the exit (easy when you leave) and another one right in the middle of the campsite to make it very easy during your stay.
I hope these informations would be helpfull.
We are currently (21st of may 2025) renovating the exit area to make it even more easy to empty and refill because we know it's necessary but not the funiest part of travelling!
Hope to see you again soon!
Arnaud

Matthew L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The area that it is located is magnificent with bakery and local cafe + resteraunt. The campsite itself is perfect with facilities that would make a spa jealous. There is also lots for kids (and adults) to do there including ping pong, kayaking and bike riding to name a few. The gentleman at reception was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable of the local area. Would recommend trying the local champagne sole there as well.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

The lush waters of the Aube are right to hand from the site for swimming, paddling and canoeing, but if you seek yet more watery times it's an easy 10-minute drive to the Aube reservoir and its two lakes, Amance and Temple. Make for Lac d'Amance for watersports including jetskiing and motorboating (this is the biggest watersports lake this close to Paris), and to Temple for birdwatching, fishing and a more peaceful vibe; motorboats aren't allowed on this part of the reservoir. The lakes are part of the woodland and water landscapes of the Orient Forest Regional Natural Park (Lac d'Orient, 25 minutes' drive from Domaine Le Colombier, is the park's third lake). A 42-kilometre bike path weaves through the trees around all three lakes for scenic rides, followed by a lengthy laze on one of the three sandy beaches of Lac d'Orient, the park's biggest. By car, Aube department capital and ancient town Troyes is 40 minutes' drive away, straight through the forest. Or give the kids a splendid day out by driving south for 15 minutes instead, to arrive at the Nigloland amusement park, one of the most visited in France.
