Hi, we are off to france to the Loire Valley for a week in August, and are looking for a site that is within walking distance of a town or large village to eat out in, and sample a bit of french wine without having to drive! Just wondered if anyone had any reccomendations?  We have seen a couple of nice looking sites on here, but the english translation isnt great on some of them, and when it says 'close to town' i just wonder wether it is a bit further than we would want to walk!!

cheers

Tom

Tom - we went there last year, intending to stay 3 nights, ended up spending 10. Very good market in the town, we ate in 2 restaurants - Le Clemenceau in the main square and the pizzeria opposite the Chateau, both very good. Le Clemenceau was our favourite - very friendly people own it.

They have the biggest pitches we have ever seen on a campsite. Enjoy your trip.

Leila - there are supermarkets in Angers, about 7 kms away, and in Saumur - wee bit further away. We did most of our shopping in Brissac - superb butcher, small food store and really good weekly market on a Thursday. Just had one visit to Intermarche in Angers.

Enjoy your visit - we loved the area, in fact we are thinking of going back for a few days next year.

The municipals are usually within 1Km of town centre. Try the Tourraine tourist office on line & ask for a brochure. ( Could always go to Google translator) Try "Tourraine + tourism" as a web-search  Loads of sites near the Loire, Indre & Vienne.
