To find the site: Leave A10 Autoroute a junction. 39 and follow signs to Libourne
D670. On entering the outskirts of Libourne join N89 for a short distance and then
again D670 taking you around the East side of town. With a railway line on your left
look for a left turn to St. Emilion D243, clearly signed. This is the only road to
St. Emilion whilst towing as caravans/motorhomes are banned through the old town.
On entering St. Emilion at the old town wall turn left at the roundabout, 3rd exit
and follow this road to the site on the right in about 1 mile.
Don’t let these instructions
put you off the site really is easy to find.
The site is clearly noticeable on approach and the entrance is large and very welcoming.
Through
the gates a modern reception has ample easy parking. It also serves as the site shop
and the majority of amenities are in this area.
Total number of pitches was 160 with
just about 24 for statics, which were all in one area, the rest, were for touring.
Access
to all parts is very easy with good tarmac roads throughout. Particular attention
had been given to motorhomes pitches that were hard standing and level with a side
area of grass. These were all full at the time of our visit. Pitches are of standard
size with reasonable shade although some were a little bare of grass for so early
in the season (groundsheet syndrome). The ground is also stony underneath so good
awning pegs are needed.
Electric points are English, 6 amp, but rev. polarity.
All amenities were open in mid June and were as follows;
Two toilet blocks, the older one had just been refurbished to a good standard and
another new one within the pitching area. Both were excellent with good-
A heated outdoor pool with slides and paddling pool. Restaurant and takeaway a little
expensive for what it was. TV room,
large lake with fishing, which was very popular, also pedaloes, Recreation area with
5 a side, netball, volleyball and 2 tennis courts and crazy golf were all free. Children’s
play area and boulé pitch. All these are around the lake and well away from the pitches.
This
site was very popular with the British and was about 75% full of which about 90%
were British. That gives some idea of its popularity.
A site shuttle bus runs twice
a day to St. Emilion, although it is a very pleasant 20 minute walk through the fields
full of vines.
A peaceful site of modest size by French standards and overall in my opinion excellent.
The whole area if full of vineyards, one right outside the site and wine tasting's
are organised.
St. Emilion is an ancient town within old walls and is very picturesque.
Everything to do with trade in the town is linked to the local wines with some very
exclusive wine shops (1600 Euros for a bottle of Chateau Laffite Rothschild) and
tasting's are plentiful.
We spent 5 days in the area but for any longer perhaps you
would be hard pushed for things to do. However Bordeaux and Bergerac are within easy
driving distance.
These are some sites my friends and I have visited over the years and either like or dislike
