  • Eco-friendly Gironde site surrounded by woods and vineyards
  • A 20-minute drive to Blaye; less than an hour to Bordeaux
  • Outdoor pool, restaurant-bar and animals to meet on site
What might you like to see as your views when you wake up in the morning? Vineyards, perhaps – or maybe woods? You'll get a bit of both at Camping Chez Gendron, in a wooded area among the vineyards of the northern Gironde between Bordeaux and Royan. This is a quiet and eco-friendly site that welcomes families, cyclists and all those that would like to explore this gorgeously green area. There are animals to meet on site (horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens among them), and you can take strolls into the woods and vineyards to stretch your legs without needing to travel. If you'd like to roam for a bit longer, simply find one of the walking or bike trails that pass directly by the site. Other outings nearby might take you to the city of Bordeaux, the beaches and lakes of the Médoc Regional Natural Park, or the pretty villages along the Gironde estuary. Closer to home, the town of Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde is five minutes' drive away for shops, supermarkets and places to eat, plus a Sunday market. And what about time on site? Well, when you're not looking out at the views and/or chatting to the animals, you can be having a swim in the open-air pool (with a paddling pool for the kids), or playing games of football, volleyball, handball, table tennis, billiards or table tennis. Kids can let off steam at the playground or bounce on the trampoline, and there's also a restaurant and bar that are open from May to September for drinks and meals.

Local attractions

The nearby Gironde estuary is a haven for wildlife, and there are a few lovely ways to see some of it – perhaps taking your binoculars to to Terres d’Oiseaux nature reserve (10 minutes’ drive) to see what birds you can spot as you follow the nature trails, or joining a boat trip from Vitrezay (10 minutes). Elsewhere along the estuary you can visit the UNESCO-listed citadel in Blaye (20 minutes), before boarding a boat to cross the river to the Médoc Regional Natural Park. Over there, there are lots of wineries to drop in to as you make your way to Lac d’Hourtin or the beach at Carcans. Back on the site’s side of the estuary, head north for a trip to Planet Exotica theme park or a beach day in Royan (an hour), or turn south to Bordeaux (55 minutes) to see the cathedral, Place de la Bourse and Grosse Cloche and visit La Cité du Vin to learn all about the area's most famed product.
