French Travel News-2010/2011 | Carry on camping...in a French Chateau

If you’re looking for a last-minute holiday idea for the school holidays, and you dream of getting back to nature in the lovely French countryside, how about taking a camping trip in the grounds of a grand country house in Brittany?
L'Orangerie de Lanniron, on the banks of the Odet River near Quimper is just one of 29 four-star campsites all over France run by Les Castels (www.les-castels.com).

This unique campsite is located around a magnificent Orangerie built at the end of the 17th century to house orange and lemon trees, while the castle has been restored in the 19th century in the Palladian style with gardens. Now that’s what we call camping in style!
