Camping le Soleil Fruité

Alan Rogers Review of Camping le Soleil Fruité

This immaculate site opened in 2006 and is run by friendly, English-speaking owners. Conveniently located a little to the north of Valence, it is only 6 km. from the autoroute. The site lies amidst a large fruit farm growing peaches, apricots and olives with views over the Ardèche mountains. It is possible to pick fruit and there is a twice weekly market featuring the farm’s produce. There are 138 large, level, grassy pitches with 104 for touring (electricity 10A). They are separated by attractive shrubs and trees giving reasonable shade. All the facilities here are of a high standard. Twin-axle caravans are not accepted.

The Drôme offers a variety of opportunities for walking and cycling and Le Soleil Fruité is well placed in this respect. Close to the site is the Palais du Congress, which houses conference facilities and, apparently, the largest cabaret in southern France. Other, more traditional excursions include the plentiful wine cellars of the Côtes du Rhone, including those of Paul Jaboulet in the nearby village of Chateauneuf.
