Stop at Le Mans

artyboo

Hi all,

‘I am heading off soon and want an overnight stop in Le Mans. I am going that way to Beaulieu Sur Dordogne to avoid Paris 😱

i don’t want to go too far off the beaten track and waste valuable time searching for a campsite away from the main road.

Can anyone suggest somewhere?

Thanks in advance

In that case get past the city on the motorway - the traffic in Le Mans itself is awful. There are Municipal sites at Beaumont sur Sarthe a few miles north of Le Mans, or Ecommoy to the south of the city.

We always stay overnight at chateau chanteloup. It’s an excellent site that gives the warmest of welcomes. It’s just a few miles off the motorway.

I`m booked in at Camping Le Vieux Moulin later in the year on my way to Spain, it`s a couple of miles north of Le Mans just of the Autoroute.     It might be worth a look.

I'm glad they give a warm welcome at Chanteloup - and for £40 for an overnight stop in August so they should.

And no good looking for a cheaper price in September- they close on 31 August.

Thanks all, really helpfully 😃

There is a pleasant Municipal at Mayet a few kms off of the A28. Fairly basic but we have stayed there several times. Leave autoroute north of Mayet near Ecommoy, 12 km to site. Rejoin at Chateau du Loir, about 20 km south of the site.

Sorry to go off topic a bit Arty Im going to visit the Beaulieu sur Dordogne site in June ish would you advise to book or just turn up, only I don't normaly book French sites from May to July..

We stayed at Camping Le Vieux Moulin this year and it was very good being just two miles from the main route. This is run by a youngish couple and they are upgrading all the time. The toilet block is very good and the pitches large. The site comprises cabins, furnished belle tents as well as caravans and campervans. Being next to the river with a mill adds to its charms. We will use it again next year.

To be honest, I don’t usually book either; I probably will this time tho as I will pay up-front (which you have to do for Hutoppia sites) which will make me settle for 12 nights and give me a much needed rest.

We stayed overnight at Chateau Chanteloup many years ago, and at the time was owned by Les Castels,  It was expensive then and a long way off route,  so have a good look for somewhere nearer your route.

We stayed there in early May 2016 and it was practically empty but that isn't June of course. However, we have been in France for June for years and never booked a site and never had less than a good choice of pitch other than at Neufchatel en Bray where we got the last pitch at 3.15pm.

That looks very nice!

We are thinking of staying at Le Pont Romain, an ACSI site close to the Autoroute.

We've used Le Pont Romain in the past and enjoyed it. Just looked it up on t'internet and still seems to get good reviews.

I am thinking Pont Roamin too. Thanks all

We stayed overnight there a couple of years ago.
It's a good site, a bit overpriced but very handy for the motorway.
There's a good supermarché nearby to stock up on the essential wine boxes.

Thanks Pliers. It’s ACSI rate after 1st Sept.
