The Paris campsite at a glance

The Bois de Boulogne, around the campsite

The campsite belongs to the Indigo group and was renovated with Huttopia, according to the press. The appeal: sleeping inside Paris, among trees, with the metro a shuttle ride away.

Who it suits, and for what

  • Travellers with a van, caravan or tent who want to see Paris without driving in the centre.
  • Families: nights in the Bois de Boulogne, days in the centre. Combine with the Bois de Boulogne and the Parc de Bagatelle.
  • Avoid it if you want to sleep near the monuments or come back late: the return depends on the shuttle and the metro.

Alternatives around Paris

Allow half an hour to an hour of travel. Check winter opening, because some sites close from November to March.

  • Maisons-Laffitte (Yvelines): a campsite served by the RER A.
  • Versailles: a Huttopia campsite near the château, handy to combine Versailles and Paris.
  • Disneyland Paris: Davy Crockett Ranch offers pitches and cabins, to be confirmed on the Disney site (see Disneyland Paris hotels).

Wild camping is forbidden in Paris, in the woods as elsewhere.

No tent: budget hotels

If camping does not suit you, a simple hotel is often cheaper than you think out of season. See where to stay in Paris on a budget and Paris hotels by budget.
