During Napoleon lll's rule in the mid to late 1800s, France colonised several overseas territories, and with Britain restoring ownership of some territories to France, Napoleon doubled the size of his empire.
By 1920 the French colonial empire was the sixth largest in the world, after that of the British, Mongal, Russian, Spanish and Qing, with an area of 11,500,000km² and covering nearly 8% of the globe. But its global power was to diminish following the second world war when anti-colonial movements started to challenge the French authority.
Relics of the empire remain peppered across the globe, rebranded as Overseas Territories & Departments, which are governed by French law but retain their own autonomy.
The French overseas territories are divided into three distinct groups; Overseas Regions, Overseas Collectives and Special Status. There are also hundreds of islands off the coast of mainland France, Corsica springs to mind, but we're also talking about smaller, tidal islands like Mont St Michel.
Mainland France
Metropolitan France also has many of its own islands, often sitting just a few hundred metres from its coastline. There are over 150 islands, islets, archipelagos and tidal islands off France's coast, including many off the rocky Normandy and Brittany shorelines, the Bay of Biscay on the exposed western coast and to the south in the Mediterranean sea. We've put together some of our favourites.
Mont-Saint-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel
Mont-Saint-Michel
Visited by over 3 million people each year, the UNESCO-listed Mont-Saint-Michel is perhaps one of France's most recognisable landmarks.
Connected to the mainland via a bridge, the rocky outcrop was strategically constructed to be easily accessible at low tide from the mainland but well-placed to attack incoming enemies approaching by boat.
Fun fact: The town of Mont-Saint-Michel is constructed in a feudal layout; at its base are the houses of fishermen and farmers; above that are food stores and houses; up another level are the great halls; then, at the top, the abbey.
Camping le Balcon de la Baie is owned by an enthusiastic young couple. It is close to Mont Saint-Michel, Saint Malo, Dinard and Dinan, and only a two-hour drive from Cherbourg. This quiet little site has just 39 touring pitches set amongst mature trees and well tended shrubs and plants. Some have sea views and many have a 6A electricity connection. There are also mobile homes to rent. An attractive small pool complex offers a main pool (20 m) merging into a paddling pool and a whirlpool. A bistro/crêperie is a short walk from the campsite and there are shops and a restaurant in the nearby village of Saint Broladre. A little further afield are Dol de Bretagne with a wider choice of shops, bars and restaurants, and Cancale (famous for its oysters).
This site changed hands in 2011 and the resident owners offer a warm, friendly welcome at their quiet site in the small village of Beauvoir, just 4 km. from Le Mont Saint-Michel. The 68 well defined grass touring pitches, 50 with 10A electricity, are of a reasonable size, well maintained and level. Some are separated by hedges and there are trees providing some shade. The large fenced, heated swimming pool has a paved terrace with ample sun loungers, and next to the reception is a bar serving takeaway food during July and August.
This small rural site is simple and well cared for. Forty-six of the 70 modestly sized pitches are for tourers, all have 6A electricity, but are not clearly separated. Shrubs and well trimmed hedges are planted throughout. One building houses all of the facilities, which are modern, bright and of a high standard. It would particularly suit families with young children.
This delightful, quiet site is located in a peaceful, rural setting, yet is only 8 km. from the busy tourist attraction of Mont Saint-Michel. The site has 100 pitches which include 50 for touring units and 50 for mobile homes to rent. Electricity connections (6/10A) are available to all pitches and many trees and shrubs provide a good amount of shade. A welcoming reception has a terrace overlooking the pool. The site slopes gently down to a small enclosure of farm animals kept to entertain children and adults alike. Here you can meet Nestor and Napoléon, the donkeys, and Linotte the mare, as well as miniature goats, sheep, chickens and ducks. The owners intend to maintain a quiet and peaceful site, hence there are no discos or organised clubs.
The Chausey Islands are a group of small islands and islets off the coast of Normandy and close to the Channel Islands. The islands were subject to disputes between the French and British over who the islands belonged to for many years until 1499, when they were abandoned and handed to the French. But the bitter dispute didn't end there. A fortress was built in 1559 by the French, 185 years later, the British destroyed it and when another fort was built in its place, the Brits destroyed that too!
The biggest of the islands, Grand Île, is home to a population of just 30, many of them fishermen, but this figure rises during the summer months as tourists flock.
Fun fact: Stone from the islands was used to construct Mont-Saint-Michel.
Set in the grounds of a château, Castel Camping le Château de Lez Eaux lies in a rural situation just off the main route south, under two hours from Cherbourg. Of the 122 touring pitches, all with electricity (10A, Europlug) and 87 with water and drainage. Most of the pitches are good-sized, partly separated by trees and shrubs on flat or slightly sloping, grassy ground overlooking Normandy farmland and a small fishing lake.
Sitting just a few hundred metres off the coast of northern Brittany near the port town of Paimpol are the idyllic islands of Île-de-Bréhat. Famous for its pink granite shorelines, almost Mediterranean climate and pretty Breton houses, it is definitely worth a visit.

Flower Camp took over this site at the beginning or 2024 and needs some T.L.C. I was assured by the management that the new owners have great plans for its future. In a beautiful location on the Presqu’île Sauvage between Paimpol and Perros-Guirec, attractive trees and shrubs provide a balance of sun and shade for the 38 touring pitches all with electricity (long leads may be needed in places), and some also have water and drainage. Pitches are on grassy terraces divided by low fencing or hedges on a gradual descent towards the bay and the sea (a sandy bay with rocks). Most terraces have a slight slope, so those with motorhomes will need to choose their pitch carefully.
A neat and well managed municipal site situated close to the historic fishing port of Cité des Islandais and within easy reach of the Ile de Bréhat. This is an ideal location for many interesting walks. The site has 130 well maintained, mostly level pitches set in both wooded and open areas and all have electricity connections (5-12A). A very large area has been provided for sports, a play area and picnic tables. Although the site does not have its own swimming pool, the beach is just a short walk away.
This group of islands consists of four inhabited islands off the southern coast of Brittany.
Belle Île - the biggest in land area and in population. Its shorelines are characterised as being rocky with sharp falls on the southwest side and much gentler and 'beachy' on the northeast side. The island receives less rain and a warmer climate than mainland Morbihan. It hosts the Lyrique en Mer Festival each year which is the largest opera festival in western France.
Groix - much like its bigger sister, Groix's shorelines are gentle to the south and rougher to the north. It is also home to Europe's only convex beach.
Houat & Hœdic - both smaller islands, similar in size.
Within the Bay of Morbihan lie around 40 islands, the largest of which are Île-aux-Moines and Île-d'Arz
Camping de Bordeneo is ideally located in Belle Ile en Mer, in a beautiful wooded park just 600 metres from the beach. The campsite has various services, an aquatic area and entertainment in summer, but also throughout the season, an indoor heated swimming pool with massage jets, a gym, a multisport field and a large playground. 104 touring pitches are offered in various locations on the site. They also have 97 attractive, fully equipped mobile homes to hire.
Located close to the famous standing stones, menhirs and dolmens of Carnac, Camping les Bruyeres de Carnac is ideal for discovering this beautiful region, which is rich in history. The site has about 60 touring pitches, many with shade and with reasonable privacy. Children are catered for with a small playground, animal park, maze and children's club in the high season. Swimmers can enjoy the heated pool or relax in the sauna or whirlpool. The small bar and restaurant are open daily in the high season and serve honest food including mussels and pancakes.
Camping la Ferme de Lann-Hoëdic is an attractively landscaped site with many flowering shrubs and trees. The 108 touring pitches, all with 10A electricity, are large and mostly level with mature trees which offer some shade. The 20 pitches with mobile homes are in a separate area. The working farm produces cereal crops and the summer months are an exciting time for children to see the harvest in progress. The owners go out of their way to make this a welcoming and happy place to stay. Located in the countryside on the Rhuys Peninsula, Golfe du Morbihan, it is an ideal base for cycling, walking and water-based activities.
Kervilor may be a good alternative for those who find the beachside sites in La Trinité too busy and lively. In a village on the outskirts of the town, it has 250 pitches on flat grass and is attractively landscaped with trees (silver birch) and flowers giving a sense of spaciousness. The pitches are in groups divided by hedges, separated by shrubs and trees and all have 6/10A electricity. Around 167 are used for touring units. The site has a central pool complex with outdoor and covered swimming and paddling pools, slides and fountains. Activities and entertainment are organised in high season. The pleasant port of La Trinité is only 1.5 km. away with sandy beaches within 2 km.
Le Bois d’Amour faces toward Belle Ile and lies just 150 m. from the attractive, sandy Goviro beach at the southern end of the Quiberon peninsula. There are 259 pitches here, of which only around 50 are for touring units, most with electricity. The pitches tend towards the smaller size, with mobile homes, lodges, glamping, and chalets occupying the other pitches. There is also a safari tent village. On-site amenities include a large indoor pool and a separate children’s pool. Quiberon is explored by bicycle, and these are available to rent on-site. In high season, a regular programme of activities and entertainment is organised, including activities for children. The site gets very busy in the high season, with pitch sizes often being reduced to increase capacity, so expect to be close to your neighbours.
Occupying a five-hectare site on the Quiberon Peninsula, just 100 metres from the sandy beaches, this campsite has plenty to offer and is unusually quiet and laid back in low season. Of the 350 pitches, around 200 are for touring and are set amongst high mature hedges and colourful shrubs giving plenty of shade and privacy; some have sea views. Long leads are required on a few pitches as the 10A electricity points can be shared between three or four pitches.
The largest of the French mainland islands (and the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia and Cyprus), Corsica is a region of metropolitan France, although it has obtained a special status as a territorial collectivity and therefore benefits from a greater degree of autonomy than other French regions. By distance, it is closer to Italy than to France.
Historically it was ruled by the Republic of Genoa and then by the Italians which has shaped not only its deeply ingrained culture but its language. Corsican is a recognised language of France; it is most similar to the native language of Tuscany, Italy.
Because of its location, it benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, although there can be snow in the hills.
Fun fact: Corsica has the perfect climate for producing wine, but few bottles are sold in mainland France. Instead, most of it is kept on the island and is drunk by the locals.
This is a relaxed, informal, spacious site alongside an extraordinarily long and beautiful beach. Riva Bella is open all year and is exclusively naturist from 1st April to 5th November only. The site is divided into several areas with 199 pitches (with 6A electricity), some of which are alongside the sandy beach with little shade. Others are in a shady, wooded glade on the hillside.
On Corsica's west coast, Torraccia is a small, peaceful site set back from the sea but within easy reach of two sandy beaches (5 minutes drive). There are wonderful panoramic views down to Chiuni beach and the neighbouring valley, as well as the soaring mountain peaks of the interior. This is a pleasantly relaxed place to retreat after a day at the beach or an excursion up the hills. The site caters for around 70 touring pitches, most on grass and with decent shade, and also offers accommodation to rent in the form of bungalows and camping pods.
Pronounced 'ray', Île-de-Ré is a popular island off the west coast of France near La Rochelle. Although now connected permanently via a road bridge, the French often see it as a home-from-home getaway. It has been frequented by many celebrities, including Charles Aznavour, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Johnny Depp, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. It is known for its warm climate, salt plains and fresh oysters.

Camping Sandaya Les Amis de la Plage, a former municipal site, is located on the southern side of the Ile de Ré at Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré. The site has direct gated access across the sand dunes to a superb sandy beach.
Pitches at this four-hectare site are exclusively for mobile homes and chalets. The Ile de Ré is known as l’Ile Blanche because of its dazzling white beaches and this park lies between the villages of La Flotte, St Martin and Le Bois-Plage.

The site provides a peaceful family atmosphere in a quiet location, 1 km. from the nearest beach and from the village centre. Leisure facilities include a covered swimming pool and a popular restaurant. Between June and September electric shuttle buses serve the entire island.
The largest French metropolitan island, aside from Corsica, Île d'Oléron lies to the south of Île-de-Ré. Salt marshes and forests dominate the landscape, with oyster farming and tourism accounting for much of the area's revenue.

Situated on the west coast of the island of Ile d’Oléron, les Gros Joncs is owned and run by the Cavel family who work hard to keep the site up to date and of high quality. There are 50 or so touring pitches of a good size (some extra large) with tall pine trees providing a choice between full sun and varying degrees of shade. All have water and 10A electricity to hand. The main building not only houses a light and airy reception, but also a modern, beautifully presented bar and restaurant, a fully stocked and competitively priced shop, an attractive indoor swimming pool and a magnificent spa.
Camping le Domaine d’Oléron is a neat, well presented and well-managed site where you will receive a warm and friendly welcome from Anneke and Freddy who speak excellent English. The site is set in a peaceful rural location between Saint Pierre and Saint Georges and is part of the Chadotel group.
Les Chênes Verts, peacefully situated on the eastern side of the Ile d’Oléron, was completely renovated in 2012 and has direct access to the Passe de l’Ecuissière beach. The 149 touring pitches are of a good size and 80 have 10/A electricity connections. Several are occupied by fully equipped safari-style tents. Recent improvements include a small shop with fresh bread and croissants available and a snack bar.

This attractive five hectare site is a member of the Huttopia group. It can be found close to the popular seaside resort of Saint Trojan-les-Bains on the south side of the island. There are 163 pitches (56 for touring), which vary in size, most of which have electrical connections (10A French type). Huttopia Oléron Les Pins is situated in a lightly wooded setting on undulating, sandy terrain, just 1 km. from the nearest sandy beach.

Large units should telephone ahead to ensure suitable pitch availability.
Séquoia Parc, is just 7 km from the beach (Marennes-Plage). This is a high-quality family campsite in the heart of the Charente-Maritime region, set on the grounds of La Josephtrie, a castle with beautifully restored outbuildings and a courtyard area with a bar and restaurant. Sequoia Park is more a resort than a camping site; mobile homes outnumber pitches 3 to 1; however, both enjoy all the facilities of this fantastic site. On-site, there are 148 touring pitches available, which are divided by established hedging, and all have a good degree of shade; there are four different pitches available, with level 1 just offering a pitch whilst level 4 offers private sanitary facilities.

Îles d'Hyères is a group of islands in the Mediterranean sometimes referred to as the Golden Islands. Four main islands are spread over several kilometres to the south and southeast of the town of Hyères.
Porquerolles – the largest of the islands and considered an extension of the Giens peninsula.
Port-Cros – a mostly mountainous island, part of Port-Cros National Park.

With 1040 touring pitches, 957 of which are level and have 10/16A electricity, you can pitch either in the shade in one of the pine forests or the most popular pitches beside the beach with a sea view. Pitches are generous (80-150sqm), but those located furthest from the beach are the largest with more shade. There are also 280 mobile homes/bungalows to rent situated on the hillside with superb views.
A village of lodges and 15 touring pitches by the Mediterranean Sea, camping Les Oursinières, named after the Provençal sea harbour, lies in a nature setting surrounded by many beaches, coves and superb coastal ranges.

Five of the 18 French regions are counted as overseas and treated as integral to French culture and society. Like mainland France, they benefit from membership of the European Union.
Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe
Located in the southern Caribbean sea and consisting of six inhabited islands, Guadeloupe was first populated by the indigenous people of the Americas over 5,000 years ago. It wasn't until the mid-17th century that the French took possession of the islands.
It was made an Overseas Region in 1946. The islands, often thought of as an undiscovered getaway for French mainlanders, are best known for their serene volcanic sandy beaches, beautifully blue waters, tropical weather, authentic Creolean atmosphere and rum, Guadeloupe's national tipple of choice
French Guiana
French Guiana
French Guiana
Bordering Brazil and Suriname, French Guiana is the largest of the outermost regions of the European Union.
It boasts an impressive feature (one that is sure to pop up in a general knowledge quiz); it is home to the EU's largest national park, the Guiana Amazonian Park, which covers over 40% of the territory. The region is also almost exclusively covered by rainforest.
Martinique
Martinique
Sitting directly north of St Lucia in the Less Antilles of the West Indies, Martinique was home to artist Paul Gauguin for some years. It thus became the inspiration for many of his tropical landscape paintings and portraits of native women.
Réunion
Réunion
Réunion
The colourful island of Réunion, situated east of Madagascar and southwest of Mauritius, is perhaps one of the better-known Overseas Regions. About 40% of the island is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site which preserves its exotic flora and fauna.
Like Guadeloupe, rum is big business. There are several distilleries across the island, many open for tours - you can even make your own blends using exotic herbs and spices like tamarind, coffee and ginger.
The island is largely self-sufficient, and many cultural practices still exist. Along with the rum distilleries, geraniums are distilled into essential oils for use in perfumes and herbal remedies, coffee is hand-ground and roasted, and the markets are alive with local artisans selling their wares.
Mayotte
Mayotte
Mayotte
Sandwiched between South Africa and Madagascar in the north of the Mozambique Channel lies the forested island of Mayotte. Although listed as one of the most disadvantaged departments of France, it is significantly better off than many islands in the channel, with native crops such as bananas, mangoes and coconuts contributing towards the economy.
A National Marine Park protects the waters surrounding Mayotte.
Overseas Collectives
Many of the remaining overseas territories are known as Overseas Collectives. Collectively, these islands don't form part of France like Overseas Regions do, they are semi-autonomous, not members of the EU (except for Saint Martin) and don't use the Euro currency.
French Polynesia
French Polynesia
French Polynesia
Dispersed over an expanse of more than 2,000km, French Polynesia is made up of 118 islands and atolls in the South Pacific Ocean. The islands are divided into six archipelagos:
The Marquesas Islands
The Society Islands - home to the major tourist destination of Bora Bora and the capital of Papeete, located on the island of Tahiti.
The Tuamotu Archipelago - made up of nearly 80 islands and forming the largest chain of atolls in the world.
The Gambier Islands
The Austral Islands
The Bass Islands
The collective is known mainly for the international tourist destination of Bora Bora, famous for its luxury aqua-centric resorts, crystal clear waters, soaring volcanoes and celebrity holidaymakers.
Wallis and Futuna
Wallis and Futuna
Wallis and Futuna
Though classed as both French and Polynesian, Wallis and Futuna are a distinctly separate entity. The collective is made up of three volcanic islands and a handful of small islets.
Saint Martin - North
Saint Martin - North
Saint Martin - North
Situated in the West Indies with a population of over 35,000, the Collectivity of Saint Martin is split in two; the north owned by the French and South by the Dutch - a division that dates back to the 17th century.
Fun fact: The division forms France's only border with the Netherlands.

Saint Barthélemy
Saint Barthélemy
Saint Barthélemy
Known as Ouanalao by its indigenous people, Saint Barthélemy lies 22 miles southeast of Saint Martin and is a popular tourist destination during the Christmas and New Year period, especially among celebrities.
After briefly being taken over by the British, the island was gifted to Sweden in return for trading rights. Through the late 17th and early 18th century, it was owned by the Swedes, and it fell into French hands in 1878.
The island hosts the Saint Barthélemy Music Festival, a major international festival held annually which showcases calypso, méringue, soca, zouk and reggae music.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Part of the former New France, an area of North America colonised by the French in the 16th century, the Overseas Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is located close to the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and 2,370 miles from mainland France.

New Caledonia
New Caledonia
New Caledonia
New Caledonia obtained a special status in 1999 after the Nouméa Accord of 1998 - an agreement between the French Republic and the Island to give back political power while still providing military assistance and controlling foreign policy, immigration and policing. In a vote of independence in 2018, residents of New Caledonia chose to remain part of France.
The main island of Grande-Terre is double that of the island of Corsica in the Med Sea, making it the largest French island in terms of area and fourth largest in terms of population after Réunion, Martinique and Corsica.
Basketry and wood carving are important cultural crafts and are still widely practised by the tribal communities. The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre, designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 1998, celebrates the indigenous culture of New Caledonia.

So why not plan your next trip across the Channel to visit some of these sites, they’ve been given this status for a reason, so you know you’re in for a treat!
There are many reasons to go camping in France for your summer holiday; sunny beaches, blue seas, magnificent mountains and great food and drink. France also has a fantastic camping culture meaning there are lots of great campsites to choose from, most of which have very high-quality facilities.
