Château de Chanteloup

Alan Rogers Review

This attractive and peaceful site, close to Le Mans, is situated in the park of a 19th-century château in the heart of the Sarthe countryside. There are 90 very large pitches all with 10A electricity, although long leads may be required in some places. Some pitches adjoin woodland, many are around the edges of the lawns and completely open, and a few overlook a small fishing lake. New premium pitches are also equipped with unlimited WiFi, furniture and parasol, barbecue and fridge. The pitches are unobtrusively marked out and this enhances the feeling of spaciousness around the old château.

The focal point of the site is the Château itself. This houses the reception area, a very welcoming bar and also a separate TV lounge, which in the closed season reverts to being the family lounge. A range of outbuildings have been renovated to a good standard and house all sanitary and other ancilliary facilities. A heated outdoor swimming pool is available all season, together with a small, unheated pool. There are no mobile homes on this site, but a small number of glamping tents for hire can be requested in advance of your stay. An excellent booklet of ten interesting drives through the beautiful Sarthe countryside, starting from the campsite, can be borrowed from reception. Tours of the grounds and the village by pony and cart can be arranged.
