Description

Sur le chemin qui borde le Cher, il y a beaucoup d’emplacements très prisés. Quelques promeneurs et mongolfières passent mais cela reste assez transuille pour dormir. Le château est à 10min à pied!

The Camper’s take

Riverside parking along the Cher in forest setting, 10 minutes' walk from Château de Chenonceau. Multiple shaded spots along a towpath. Very popular but rarely full. Generally peaceful nights despite daytime foot and bike traffic. Regular early morning hot air balloon launches (6:30 AM). Uneven, muddy terrain in wet conditions. Access reported restricted by barriers in some reviews.

Highlights

  • View of the castle with stunning forest setting
  • Numerous scattered pitches, rarely full
  • Quiet and peaceful night for sleeping
  • Direct access to the river for swimming, paddleboarding, and canoeing

Good to know

  • Access barrier installed, blocking certain areas
  • Bumpy and muddy terrain, especially in humid conditions.
  • Early wake-ups guaranteed by hot air balloons at 6:30am
  • Castle entrance on the opposite bank (45-minute walk)

Motorhome access : Bumpy and narrow towpath, suitable for small vehicles. Campervans possible but tricky maneuvering. Muddy terrain, beware in rain. Some sections blocked by barriers.
