Nestling in the heart of the Loire Valley, this quiet family-oriented campsite is an excellent base for visiting the most beautiful chateaux in France. La Grande Tortue is situated at Candé sur sur Beuvron, a charming village close to Beuvron, set back from the main tourist poles. Parents will appreciate visiting Cheverny or Chaumont; the children will be content to spend fun-packed hours on the playground, installed near the pool (trampoline, bouncy castle, ball pool, etc.).
