Arriving at Limoges Airport this summer? Enjoy a hassle-free journey to Camping Le Paradis! We offer convenient pickup and drop-off service, ensuring a smooth start and end to your vacation when you store your caravan or motorhome with us for the year.
Camping Le Paradis, created in 1995, is situated in the Charente region of France, in the middle of the beautiful french countryside and is open all year round.
Whether you are looking to stay in a mobile home for sightseeing or house hunting, a place to stop with your caravan or motorhome whilst touring or somewhere to refresh and recharge ‘enroute’ to Spain, Camping Le Paradis is the perfect place.
Camping Le Paradis has all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay - we offer an on-site library with a wide range of books covering all different genres and DVDs to ensure you never get bored - perfect for those long summer evenings! And if that wasn't enough, we also have two large communal bbqs and seating areas where you can share food or conversation with your fellow campers.
The tranquil area of the Charente is ideal for a leisurely walk, a healthy bicycle ride or simply spotting a wide variety of birds, butterflies and wild animals.
Those looking for more interest or culture will find Camping Le Paradis is easily accessible to La Rochelle on the west coast, Poitiers and Futuroscope, Limoges with its porcelain and airport, Confolens, Cognac and much more.
For the more active and energetic amongst you, the campsite is close to 'Les Lacs de Haute Charente' (two very large lakes) offering a beach and swimming, fishing, canoeing and windsurfing. Horse riding facilities, an excellent golf course and an Adventure Park with a commando assault course are just a short drive from the site.
In the afternoon, a local baker visits the campsite with a delicious variety of fresh bread and cakes, the bakery is based only a short 2km distance away from the campsite if you find yourself wanting more!
There are some wonderful local restaurants, including a pizzaria situated 2 - 4km away.
Please explore this site for further details or use the contact form to get in touch with the owner, who will be happy to answer all your questions.
Welcome, we are Jonathon and Bernice, the new owners of Camping Le Paradis.
Due to Covid-19, like many others, spending time at home, we decided we wanted a new direction in our lives. Over the years we have spoken about owning a campsite and moving away from our hectic life style in the South East of England.
So we really did reassess what we were doing, and we realised that life really is too short!! So we decided our adventure would start now! In October 2021, whilst searching for campsites available to purchase in France, we came across Camping Le Paradis for sale. We emailed the seller and 2 weeks later, we went to view the campsite and signed on the dotted line in December 2022, then the rest is history!!
So if your looking for a break away from your busy life, and need to recharge your batteries in the slow lane, why not come and join us, at Camping Le Paradis.
There is so much to do in this beautiful region of France. Here we'll try and give you a flavour of what's on offer but if you have any queries please contact us as there is much much more to see and do.
Just 10 minutes away are the lakes at Lavaud and Mas Chaban, these neighbouring lakes cover more than 350 hectares. The scenery is unspoiled and children and parents can swim, ride pedalos, canoe, row, sail, sailboard, fish or just relax on the fine sand beaches.
The Château de La Rochefoucauld is just a twenty minute drive, where you can see this ancient fortress in all it's glory with the impressive 16th century "pearl of the angoumois" at it's centre.
Courvoisier, Hennessy, Martell and Rémy Martin are only an hour away centred around the town of Cognac with it's medieval quarter "Vieux Cognac" running from the Tours Saint-Jacques, alongside the river, up to the Saint-Léger church. The "circuit du chêne" (oak trail) takes you through the processes involved from tree to barrel to distillation.
Angoulême with it's magnificent Cathédrale Saint-Pierre is just 45 minutes away. The ancient fortifications have been replaced by boulevards above the old city walls, known as the Remparts home to the classic car racing in September, offer fantastic views over the surrounding countryside.
Limoges, of course the home to the world famous Limoges porcelain, is a fascinating city with a rich and interesting history. The 10th century Crypt of Saint Martial, The Gothic cathedral of St-Etienne and the Gare de Limoges Bénédictins are a few of the architectural highlights.
La Rochelle with its beautifully maintained historic architecture, is considered one of the most picturesque and historically rich cities on the Atlantic coast and is under 2½ hours away.
And that's without mentioning the roman remains at Chassenon and Les Bouchauds the chocolate factory at Trois-Palis, the magnificent hiking and cycling routes, michelin starred restaurants, local markets, adventure parks, museums, Vélo-Rail and well, you get the idea.
Our Covid-19 measures at Camping Le Paradis will continue to evolve in accordance with current rules.
These will be cleaned on a regular basis as part of our usual cleaning procedure, with hand sanitizers provided at the entrance/exit for you to use before entering.
One of the numerous advantages of a camping, self-catering vacation in your own place is that you have complete control over your surroundings.
Our campsite features wide pitches that are properly spaced from one another, allowing you to come and feel secure in your ability to maintain social distance with minimal effort.
Camping Le Paradis is in a nice quiet area where you can go walking, cycling, or just rest without having to interact with anyone safe for a trip to the Boulangerie or the store, where you are unlikely to meet many other people if you go between 12.00 and 14.00
Camping Le Paradis has all the amenities you need to make your stay more comfortable.
We have three full shower rooms, each equipped with a large shower, W/C and wash basin. There is also a large disabled shower room that is wheelchair accessible with the same features as the full shower rooms. All shower rooms are fully tiled for easy cleaning.
We have a kitchen that is fully equipped with everything you need to wash your dishes. We also offer laundry services (washing machine and tumble dryer) at €5 per load, per machine.
A separate toilet block (accessible 24/7) contains two toilets and two wash basins. There are also two exterior basins for hand washing small clothing items and one wheelchair accessible basin hand washing small clothing items located near the toilet block.
There are two communal barbeque areas with seating areas where you can grill up some of the local fare and enjoy your meal al fresco if you so desire.
Our office area includes comfortable seating as well as housing our library, which provides books of all tastes, as well as a DVD library. You can also pick up essentials from our shop here for any last-minute needs, such as LPG bottles.
For those of you who like to bring your pets along for the ride, we have a fenced dog walking field for them to enjoy on a leash.
