In the village of Semussac, 15 minutes’ drive from the Gironde coast
Close to beaches, watersports, bike hire, public pool and horse riding
Playground, pétanque court and café with outdoor seating

What might you think to the idea of a site near the south-western coast of France in a rather swell countryside setting with a the sands and sea of Meschers-sur-Gironde less than 15 minutes’ drive away, and a swift 20-minute drive from beach-based activities like land yachting, go-karting, windsurfing, paddleboarding and surfing in Royan? Camping Bois de la Chasse has all this in its very local vicinity, plus a public pool in Cozes, plus a zoo and a national park, plus caves and a 17th-century citadel, all within between 10 minutes’ and an hour’s drive too. In a peaceful countryside locale and around 15 kilometres from the coast, la Chasse is a properly spiffing site in comely countryside surrounds, a short walk into the village of Semussac in the spectacular Charente-Maritime department. Plenty of beaches along France’s south-western coastline are within easy reach by car (or by bike, if you can bring your own or rent one in nearby Saint-Georges-de-Didonne), and more are around an hour’s drive away around Île d'Oléron. There’s heaps of space on site for kids to happily bound in, as well as a playground and – should they wish to learn the art of French bowling – a pétanque court, plus loan of kit for outdoor games like frisbee, volleyball, ping pong. If, however, they fancy a spot of quiet time, board games and books can be borrowed on site too. While the kids are kept happy, grownups can relax around site and admire the scenic surrounds, have a stroll among the grounds or plonk themselves at one of the café’s outdoor tables to get on with planning the following days of sightseeing, all while sipping on a coffee or something cool. Come evening time during the summer months, guests of all ages will be muchly amused by entertainment that comes in the form of karaoke nights and fun and family-focused themed events. When it comes to supplies, aside from the food and beverages served at the café, bread and pastries can be ordered the day before for morning delivery during July and August, and you can keep yourself topped up with regional tipples too, for Pineau des Charentes, cognac, and local wines are all on sale at the park. Off site, supermarkets and a bakery are close by in Semussac, and you can pick up all sorts of tasty local treats at the regular farmers’ markets in Meschers, Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Royan.

Local attractions

A public pool is close by in Cozes for when you need to cool off, and a horse riding centre is within a few minutes’ drive too for swell countryside hacks. When you fancy amping up the adrenaline, plenty more is in store in the local area too, with the likes of land yachting, windsurfing, paddleboarding and surfing in Royan, a mere 20 minutes’ drive away. There’s also heaps of choice when it comes to sand-and sea-themed days out: the beaches of Talmont-sur-Gironde and Meschers-sur-Gironde are within 15 minutes’ drive, or if you’d prefer to travel sans car, you can hire bikes in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, eight kilometres from base, and use throughout your hols for highly scenic pedals along the coast and through local countryside. Further afield, the beaches, salt marshes and famed oyster farms of Île d'Oléron can be reached in an hour and 20 minutes for seafood sampling, wildlife watching and yet more bouts of sandcastle building. When it comes to kid-friendly day trips, Palmyre Zoo is an easy half an hour away, and the lush lands and highly climbable trees of Marais Poitevin Natural Regional Park are around an hour’s drive away, and if you’d like to squeeze in a spot of local histoire, the beaut coastal Régulus Caves and the 17th-century citadel and fortifications in Brouage are both well within an hour’s pootle.
