  • Quiet woodland site at the foot of Sainte-Victoire mountain
  • Regular shuttle bus trips to Aix-en-Provence and the city stadium
  • Pizzeria-restaurant, bar, takeaway and tennis
What a cinch it is to get to the most excellent city of Aix-en-Provence from the quiet woodland site of Camping de Puyloubier, 350 metres above sea level: a shuttle bus runs from site to sightseeing over a dozen times a day. If you're a day tripper (as you certainly should be at this splendidly set place), flip open your itinerary notebook and list all the other destinations it's a cinch to get to from here too: Marseilles within 45 minutes, the fishing town of La Ciotat, the shopping and medieval Old Town of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, the Mediterranean port of Cassis and its white wine… At the foot of Montagne Sainte-Victoire, this is a great spot for hiking, climbing or walks in the vineyards. Active and outdoorsy days easy to access include golf, horse riding, mountain biking and tennis nearby, or hikes and climbs further afield around the extensive Sainte-Baume mountain ridge and its cliffs, ancient woodlands and spectacular natural sights such as the Gorges du Caramy and Tombereau waterfall. The Luberon Regional Natural Park, in the Provence, is less than an hour's drive to the north. Camping de Puyloubier is in the Bouches-du-Rhône region of south-east France, under 15 minutes' walk to the shops and restaurants of local village Puyloubier. If you don't care to amble even that far, a pizzeria-restaurant and a bar are on site, along with gas cylinder sales. Takeaway is available too.

Local attractions

Take the frequent shuttle bus from the site to the splendidly scenic city of Aix, founded by the Romans way back in the BCs and famed as an arty and cultural centre in the centuries since (if you're a reader or writerly sort, you'll def want to sup a coffee in the Deux Garçons brasserie, a hangout space for intellectual types like Cézanne, Zola and Hemingway). Aix is also famed for its Festival d'Aix-en-Provence opera fest, in late June and July in fab settings such as the Théâtre de l'Archévêché in the former garden of the archbishop's palace. In other months, there are museums, galleries and libraries to dreamily potter around, including the Musée Granet which covers the painting, sculpture and the archaeology of Aix (hint: there's quite a lot). Around the same distance by road (45 minutes) will take you to Marseilles if you're of an urge to sightsee around France's second biggest city (hint: you really should). Also needing a look are La Ciotat and Cassis, both within 50 minutes, and the old spa town of Gréoux-les-Bains, about an hour away.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch

Liked: A lovely quiet location. Aurore and Kevin were perfect hosts. Fresh croissants delivered to your door was a treat. Links into Aix are frequent, with good onward connections. We did see a lot of walkers, cyclists and runners enjoying the local countryside.

Disliked: Nothing that a seasoned traveller will be bothered about.
