  • 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 (riverside)

Liked: Gorgeous facilities - have never showered, washed up or visited the loo in such luxury! Love the ‘no shoes’ rule and also the spa-like music. Beautiful building/courtyard and proximity to lovely village and church. V helpful lady in restaurant - spoke very good English. Wonderful netted play area for children. Handy location en route back to Calais.

Disliked: My shower water could have been warmer (husband’s was fine) - and he (a light sleeper) didn’t like the church clock tower bell chiming through the night.

P'tit Nid camping pod

Liked: Clean, cute and quirky place to stay. The Pod was perfect… a little romantic hideaway… we took some fairy lights for inside! Breakfast included, along with tea and coffee, a microwave, and a hob. It had a private bathroom, and its own outdoor area. Owls, bats, fungi, forests and loads of birds to watch. Helpful friendly staff, who were kind and lovely. Site was perfectly placed, pretty, clean and very tidy.

Disliked: Nothing!

Electric optional grass pitch (riverside)

Liked: One of our favourite sites. Set on the river in a beautiful little town the pitches are great and the facilities are really lovely. No outside shoes in the shower/toilet building so they supply slippers to keep the building clean and tidy. Staff are wonderful and the Boulanger around the corner opens at 6am.

Liked: Quiet spacious pitches.
Clean bathrooms and toilets with spa music! Good that outdoor footwear is not allowed in the bathroom area and they provide their own flip flops!
Beautiful site with chickens running all over the place:
Good location for a quiet stay.

Disliked: Nothing bad to say about the site. If we are in the area again, we would definitely consider staying there.
Suggestions - the showers could be a tad warmer.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: We loved everything about this campsite, we stayed 2 nights before heading back to Calais. Great location. The site is so pretty, there are chickens walking around, the wash facilities are outstanding. You can rent bikes and there’s lots of things to do in walking distance. Great WiFi, lovely owners, spoke excellent English. Will definitely book again next year!

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.
