Easily accessible from the Channel ports and the Tunnel, the thickly wooded region of Ile de France is a stark contrast to the iconic capital it encircles. Gently undulating, and delightfully undisturbed, the verdant countryside is the setting for not only the majestic Château of Versailles, but also Monet's serene Garden at Giverny and the Royal Palace of Fontainebleau. The colourful City of Lights combines grand opulent style, with chic Parisian charm, and be sure to admire it all from the steps of the Sacré-Cœur in artistic Monmatre. Our campsites are also close enough to visit the popular resorts of Disneyland and Park Asterix.
