Welcome to the Charente-Maritime, a land bathed in sunshine. It’s the perfect place to recharge by the ocean, stroll through charming villages and get away from it all, surrounded by nature! Ideally situated between the iconic towns of La Rochelle and Rochefort, a few hundred metres on foot from the sea, our campsite at Fouras offers you an array of authentic experiences, which you can discover as a family or with friends!
An extraordinary place in the heart of nature
Nestled 300 metres from the beautiful and unspoilt Espérance beach and near the lovely seaside resort of Fouras, you will love the peacefulness and tranquillity of our campsite by the Atlantic ocean. For you to enjoy during your stay: a wooded site of 20 acres, a large outdoor swimming pool, a bar and snack bar area where you can get snacks in between meals, activity programmes for all the family and the option to take the cycle paths to go off in search of local tourist attractions.
Not forgetting sports enthusiasts! With two tennis courts, mini-golf, sports pitches and a boules court, they can challenge themselves, and have a great time!
A region with a host of treasures to discover
From Fouras and its medieval fortified castle, to the tourist islands of Aix, Oléron and Ré, not forgetting the must-see Fort Boyard, the cultural heritage of the Charente never ceases to surprise you. You can travel between land and sea by bike or boat, where you will be surrounded by spectacular landscapes, shaped by the rhythm of the waves and the breeze off the ocean.
Tempted to discover new experiences? Why not try water walking, sea kayaking or sailing, all ideal ways to follow the path of the sun! And to get your fill of sea air, head to Pointe de la Fumée for a spot of shore fishing, or simply watch the oyster farmers at work.
