Sites et Paysages de l’Etang

Alan Rogers Review of Sites et Paysages de l’Etang

This beautiful site surrounds a large fishing lake with 110 pitches, of which 53 are for touring. They are well-manicured and divided by flower beds and hedging. The site offers something for everyone; if you want to sit by the lake and relax, have a tour of the vineyard, or hire a bicycle, you will undoubtedly find peace and tranquillity. Alternatively, if you want to join in with the activities held in the high season, plenty will keep you and the whole family entertained. For a day out, you are just 75 km from Puy Du Fou, voted the best theme park in the world! 

Next to the reception area is a well-stocked shop, modern laundry room, T.V. lounge, and bar/ restaurant. Beyond that is the pool complex. There are several children’s play areas, designated barbecue areas, and a small animal farm where children can interact with various campsite animals. There are tours of the local vineyard, inherited by the site when Sites& Paysages purchased it, and wine from the vineyard is sold in the shop and restaurant. The site is run and maintained to a very high standard by Carla the Site Manager, who is always available to assist. The adjacent Parc de Loisirs is a paradise for young children with many activities (discounts for campers). These include boating, pedaloes, pony rides, miniature trains, water slides, bouncy castles, and swings.

Originally the farm of the Château de Brissac (yet only 24 km. from the lovely town of Angers), this is an attractive campsite retaining much of its rural charm. It is part of the EcoEtang association. It also owns the vineyard and operates a gardening business. The site is very well managed, with great attention to detail to ensure an enjoyable stay. The site is personable and welcoming, with the many attractions of the Loire close at hand.
