Holiday Parks in France Close to a City

Montpellier is the sun-drenched, cultured capital of the Languedoc region in the South of France, situated but a few miles inland from the Mediterranean Sea. It’s also a youthful, vibrant university town, and one of France’s most multicultural cities, regularly voted the most ‘desirable place to live’ in France.

Straddling the Loire and Cher rivers, Tours in central France artfully combines ancient cathedral city with university town. It makes the perfect gateway to the famous châteaux of the Loire Valley, and is an ideal place for the serene appreciation of French culture and lifestyle.

The seafaring town of La Rochelle is the jewel of Charente Maritime, a wonderful region in France perched on the Atlantic Ocean.

Discover our holiday parks near Bordeaux. Capital of the Aquitaine region in France’s southwest corner, the city of Bordeaux gracefully lines the Garonne River as it meanders towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Sitting where the water of the rivers Rhône and Saône converge, majestic Lyon is the capital of Rhône-Alpes, an inland region of France stretching from Lake Geneva to the Cevennes and Provence. A great base from which to explore this historical, cultural city of gastronomy, with its multiple Michelin stars, is Siblu holiday park, Les Rives de Condrieu.

Unofficial capital of the Côte d’Azur region in the southeast of France, Nice is also the ‘grande dame’ of the French Riviera. It offers opulence, year-round sunshine, and a timeless appeal. In fact, Nice is sun, fun, art, and every visitor experience rolled into one city, whether you’re after a spot of shopping, a beach hit or some city culture.

Perched on a bluff above the River Orb within the beautiful Languedoc region of southern France, Béziers lies discretely between Narbonne (to the south) and Sète (to the north). It is an attractive Roman town, renowned for its summer Feria and wonderful wines.

In southwest France, just south of Bordeaux and the glimmering Bay of Arcachon, lies Biscarrosse. It is a remarkable three-in-one holiday destination. Biscarrosse-Plage presides over immensely long, sandy beaches with the rolling surf of the Atlantic Ocean crashing their shores.

Blois is a right royal town, situated halfway between Tours and Orléans in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Loire Valley. Its castle, the Château Royal de Blois, presides over everything, and serves as an excellent introduction to the famous châteaux de la Loire, but the town is an absolute delight to visit in its own right too.

Sitting where the rivers Orne and Odon meet, the buzzing university town of Caen is one of Normandy’s most important cities. Although left bruised and battered during WWII, Caen has rebuilt spectacularly, held on to many of its splendid historical buildings and maintained its sparky Norman spirit too.

You’ll find the historic port of Roscoff in Pays du Léon, a corner of France in Brittany’s Finistère that enjoys a gentle microclimate and prodigiously produces artichokes, cauliflowers and, most famously, the Roscoff pink onion! It is also well known to visitors from the UK and Ireland for cross-channel ferry links.

Royan is in an idyllic spot. Situated in the Charente Maritime region of France on the stunning Atlantic Coast, it lies just south of La Rochelle, north of Bordeaux and close to the northern tip of the Gironde estuary.

The kids have packed buckets and spades and you want to sunbathe on golden sands… It has to be a beach holiday in France. France has miles of sandy coast to choose from, much of it just a short drive – or walk – from one of our holiday parks. The only decision you have to make is whether to go wild on the Atlantic side or a bit ritzier on the Med!

Discover our holiday parks with indoor or covered pools for those who need to dive in come rain or shine – handy if you’re swimming to keep fit and don’t want to overheat in the sun while you plough up and down.

View a selection of our best water parks below and choose the one which suits you best. Who will be the undisputed champion of the pool in your party? 

If there’s one thing that France is famous for, it’s wine. In fact, two French wine-making regions have even achieved Unesco World Heritage status – meaning they’re “of outstanding value to humanity”!

Planning to get the plane from Ireland and rent a car when you arrive in France? France has many world-class airports with direct links to Ireland – with some Siblu campsites within an hour’s drive. ‘Fly-drive’ packages give you the best of both worlds: the speed and convenience of flying and the use of a car for your holiday.

If you want the freedom of bringing your own car to France the ferry can be a great way to start your holiday. Many families find that the journey itself becomes an adventure for the kids, especially as many of them have supervised play areas, cinemas and children’s entertainers. Grown-ups can enjoy the shops, bars and restaurants.

Discover France's beautiful countryside and coastline on two wheels. Well-signed cycle paths mean it is a pleasure to bike around the country and, most importantly, it allows you to work up a great appetite for tucking into some delicious pastries. 

France offers a wealth of cultural activities, from its beautiful Chateaux in the Loire Valley, to the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, medieval towns in the south and so much more. Our holiday parks make the perfect base for exploring this fascinating country and learning more about its rich history.

Lush green scenery, breathtaking views, water sports for kids and adults… If this sounds like your perfect break, why not try a lakeside holiday? France is home to some of the most beautiful lakes in the world, from small natural mountain lakes to large artificial leisure lakes.
