  • Family-friendly site by the Saône river, a half-hour drive from Dijon
  • ‘Blue route’ cycling path, kayaking, sailing and fishing all nearby
  • Food shop on site; fresh bread available to order
If you like hols heavy on water activities, where better to pitch up than on a riverbank? Here, it’s the banks of the Saône river, and you’ll be staying at the family-friendly Camping De L'Arquebuse just outside Athée, half an hour's drive from Dijon. Kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding and fishing are all on the cards here, and the local swimming pool is next door for splashes away from the river. On site there’s plenty more active stuff going on, including volleyball games, trampolining and pétanque tournaments. And if that’s not enough to tire the kids out, there’s also a playground. Foodie supplies can be picked up a 10-minute walk away in Auxonne, for folk planning to blaze up their own barbecue fare, along with various eateries for tastes of local fare. Practical stuff on site includes amenity blocks with toilets and showers and a washing-up area. There’s also a launderette with ironing kit (handy news for those whose packing style leaves them a tad rumpled).

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Site is next to river quite scenic, would be ok if travelling as a couple.

Disliked: Site is nowhere near as described, pool has been shut years and isn't even part of the site, there's no slide or park, bouncy castle has seen better days, my kids were bored within an hour and we left, after paying for a pitch for the night, do not come if you have young children.

Local attractions

There are plenty of ways to explore this part of the Côte-d'Or. A top choice is to link up with the ‘blue route’, a scenic cycling and walking path which runs along the Saône, from Lyon to Haute-Saône. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take a bird's-eye view from a hot air balloon (it’s possible to leave directly from the site). Load up the car for days out instead – 20 minutes away in Dole you can take tours of the Collégiale Notre-Dame de Dole church, Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Mont-Roland and Museum of Fine Arts. If you’d prefer outdoor explores, aim for a wander in the pretty Jardin de Landon or splashing times at Aquaparc Isis. The capital city of Burgundy, Dijon (half an hour), is another fine choice for a visit. It may be known the world over for its mighty fine mustard, but it’s also a big wine-making area, so wine tours and tastings should be on the schedule here. It’s also got impressive buildings aplenty – on your to-see list should be the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne de Dijon and the Church of Notre-Dame of Dijon, as well as the vast Palace of the Dukes, which houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
