Rural riverside site refurbished for the 2017 season
Less than 10km from Le Mans and an hour from Paris
Four-hectare setting of mature trees and wildlife

A peaceful place in green French countryside, set on a scenic river, and under an hour from splendid Paris – how très bon. It's all at the Sarthe department's Camping Le Vieux Moulin, a small family-run site alongside the Sarthe river within walking distance of the village of Neuville-Sur-Sarthe, five kilometres from the centre of the historic town of Le Mans. The village railway station has services to Le Mans (seven minutes), with onward travel to major towns and cities including Paris, 58 minutes away on the TVG. Le Vieux Moulin is under new management and was renovated to reopen in June 2017 after being closed for eight years. Set in four riverside hectares, it has over 100 mature trees of at least 50 different species, home to many a red squirrel as well as bats, butterflies and lots of birds. Facilities include a pool, a pétanque court, table tennis and a playing field for ball games (bats and balls are available for free; a small refundable deposit is required). Quieter areas away from the main activities are dotted all around if you'd rather snooze under the sun or read a book. A supermarket, pharmacy, patisserie, hairdresser, butcher/delicatessen and bar-restaurant are all at Neuville-Sur-Sarthe.
