A word to all long-standing campers, history buffs and nature lovers: now’s the time to book your camping spot with Sandaya in the Loir-et-Cher and set off to explore Blois and the majestic Loire châteaux! Ready to start taking it all in?
From your Sandaya campsite in the Loire Valley, wander alongside France's last remaining wild river towards Blois with its royal château, and learn all about an enthralling chapter of history in the Valley of the Kings! Stroll around the historic town centre, enjoy outings on the Loire or bike rides along its banks; this "Town of Art and History" has some wonderful experiences in store for you during your camping holiday.
So, what are holidays with Sandaya like? Start the day with a spot of bathing in the heated swimming pools of the water park, then set off for a bit of mini-golf with the family or a football tournament on the outdoor sports ground, then head for the campsite restaurant for a delicious break on the terrace. Whether it's during low or high season, book your favourite cottage or pitch, and your family campsite awaits you for a holiday fit for a king beside the Loire!
Set off on a journey back in history and take the children along to play princes and princesses in the loveliest châteaux of the Loire!
Saddle up and head for the historic centre of Blois via the wonderful Loire à Vélo, a cycle path of which families are particularly fond due to its flatness and safety. Gradually Château de Blois reveals itself looking out over the town. The children will just love the 3D screens in the Estates General Room and the superb sound & light show that is shown on the château walls during high season! Another unmissable feature of your stay is the famous Maison de la Magie and its 5 floors full of pranks and party tricks for the whole family!
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the campsite, as the day is set to be a busy one! In Blois, historic heritage is everywhere, and your curiosity is constantly stimulated!
Hand in hand, head off to explore its ancient streets, featuring mansions and timber-framed houses. Then you're off to the château for a nice architecture lesson: with 4 wings, each different in style, this place alone encapsulates the entire chronology of the châteaux of the Loire, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. And you can round off your day with a romantic cruise aboard a traditional boat called a gabare. You'll be seeing Blois from a whole new perspective!
It is from the royal château, standing on its promontory, that you'll enjoy the best views of the town of Blois!
Outings on the Loire, maybe you'll be fortunate enough to see one of its most illustrious inhabitants… the beaver!
Did you know that Château de Blois is also home to one of France's largest fine arts museums!
So have you taken a liking to château life? Then head for Château de Chambord, Château de Chenonceau or Château de Cheverny to carry on your magical journey!
