"We sucked at pétanque": readers' favorite campsites in France

Winning tip: Camping les cascades, Occitanie

If you want to fall asleep to the hypnotic rhythms of waterfalls, camping les Cascades is for you. At the foot of the Cascades du Sautadet, an hour's drive north of Avignon and not far from Orange, this four-star site is located in a green and preserved area. You can also splash around in the swimming pool or the paddling pools with the children, spend a nice day on the beach of the Cèze river or take a walk in the neighboring villages. You have the choice between cottages, glamping tents and tent safaris. Lots of sports to do too, including football, table tennis and canoeing – the locals even offered us a glass of wine for our failed attempts to try the classic French game of pétanque one evening!
