Peaceful site on the banks of the Loire river in Briare
Handy stopover for cyclists on the Loire à Velo path
Heated swimming pool, playground and pétanque on site

Hurrah for the Loire Valley, with its fab mix of châteaux, vineyards and scenic active days out. And hurrah for Briare, a laidback little Loiret town with both riverbank and tree-lined canal to wander along, and home to the longest metal bridge in all of France (designed by none other than Monsieur Eiffel, of Parisian tower-constructing fame). And double hurrah for Camping Le Martinet, a peaceful site with a scenic setting on the banks of the Loire and a pleasant 15 minutes’ amble from Briare’s shops, restaurants and other amenities. This is a particularly fine spot for cyclists – its nifty location on the route of the Loire à Velo bike path makes it both a handy stopover for intrepid types taking in the full 800-kilometre epic and a staging post for fairweather folks seeking a pretty place to pedal. It’s not just the two-wheeled travellers that will appreciate the easy access to the river: it’s also a bonus for folks seeking fishing, canoeing and riverside walks too. Swims aren’t allowed in the river, but there’s a heated pool on site that makes a fine place for an open-air dip. Time spent on site is likely to be taken up mainly with chilling out, but there are games of pétanque and miniature golf to play if you need a little gentle activity, and a playground to keep the nippers happy. Other amenities around the wooded park include a launderette, washing-up area and bathrooms with accessible facilities.

Liked: Briare is a delightful French town, bordering a canal and the River Loire. It is amply served by shops and lots of busy restaurants.
Camping Le Martinet is a site geared for tents, caravans motorhomes and a number of permanent ‘Glamping’ tents with all facilities provided.
Personal hedged pitches are available with room for very large tent and car. Water and electricity at pitch. There is a swimming pool, crazy golf, children’s play area and boule pitch for entertainment Bread and pastries can be ordered for next day. All facilities are regularly cleaned and staff are friendly and helpful. All in all, a great base for exploring the Loire region.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Geweldige camping! Heerlijk rustig en grote, schaduwrijke plekken die je zelf uit mag kiezen. Elektriciteit direct op de plek, schoon sanitair en heerlijk zwembadje. Niet te druk, rustige campinggangers, relaxed personeel. Ik was er alleen maar op doorreis maar kom zeker terug. De omgeving is ook prachtig.

Disliked: Aanrader: neem je eigen toiletpapier mee. Dat wordt niet heel vaak aangevuld.

Local attractions

Begin with a bit of bimbling around Briare – it’ll take you 15 minutes or so to wander into the town centre to visit its best bits, including Château Trousse-Barrière, the mosaic museum and the Briare Canal Bridge. Boat trips along the Loire (short ones, long ones, fancy ones with dinner included) are a good way to see some of the surrounds, and the town’s also got a swimming pool with waterslides and spa for family splashing. One château not enough? Set off for Château Gien and its hunting museum (15 minutes’ drive), medieval Château Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire (20 minutes) and Château de Sully-sur-Loire (35 minutes), built on three islands in the river. And if you’ve ever wondered how they did it all, get along to Guédelon (40 minutes away), where a bunch of folks are recreating a 13th-century castle from scratch using traditional techniques; they’ll let you have a go at some yourselves if you’re there at the right time. The Loire Valley’s famed for its libations too, of course – if you’re into your crisp whites, Sancerre (45 minutes away) is a super starting point for a day (or few) of tours and tastings.
