We stayed here many years ago.......

...don't know what it might be like now, but then it was quiet and peaceful apart from a few cars (around 7.30am) leaving the site from mobiles.  It was also very cheap at the time.  We went into Paris, Versailles and also a couple of places along the Loire as day trips.  We were there only 6 days as I recall - it was in 1988!

We've stayed at Les Courtilles de Lido, which has 180 pitches - maybe bigger than you want, but when we were there it was very French.  It is a site which takes Touring Cheques all season, so a pitch for two people, car and caravan, awning, and electricity, will cost just £12.95 per night.  It also does 7 nights for 6 Touring Cheques, or 14 nights for 11!  There is a little train noise, which shuts off at bed time, fortunately.

It's near to the little town of Moiret sur Loing, which is very pleasant, and has a train link into Paris, and it's also near to the Chateau and forests of Fontainbleau.

The Loire Valley around Blois and Orleans is just south of Paris and very beautiful with loads of fantastic chateau's. Not quite as manic as Paris. Plenty of campsites in the area, last time we were there we stayed at the Castels Grenouille site near Blois.

Have fun

A site I have used several times in the past is at Rambouillet, a lovely site in a forest. However the last time we went it was closed, and has now been reopened by Huttopia.
Have a look at the web site.

The above very French in village of Dienville. The area generally is Lacs de la Foret D'Orient. The site is small and not as commercial as others in the area. We loved it, but it was a long time ago, and don't know what it is like at the moment. looking at the web site, it does n't look much different.

Le Belle Etoile http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=9248 takes Camping Cheques up until the 14th July - and again after the 20th August - meaning a pitch for two people, with car and caravan, tent or motorhome, awning, electric hook-up, and one dog, would cost £13.95 per night or 7 for 6 up until the 1st July, or after 1 September.  This saves you about 8 euros per night on the normal site tariff

Eurocamp and Canvas are no longer at Les Courtilles de Lido, either, so it should have reverted to a more French feel, I would have thought.
