3 Rue de l'Écluse, 37150, Civray-de-Touraine
Been here?
This shaded picnic area beside the Cher is next to a canoe base and offers a flat grassy space, picnic tables, bins and riverside walking paths. Recent stays describe quiet nights, with canoe trips available nearby and toilets accessible 24 hours a day. Access is narrow over a small bridge, with 2.05m clearance, so it suits vans but not larger motorhomes; Chenonceau castle is 2km away by rowing and 10 minutes by car.

We spent a very good night near the picnic tables. The site is very quiet and pleasant. A few bins are available. Another van was also there. Walking is possible along the Cher. Canoe trips depart from here.Translating
When we arrived, we were lucky to find space for a canoe trip the next day—not to be missed!—with Canoë Company. The manager even offered to let us spend the night there. Excellent quiet place, with toilets accessible 24/7, running water, fishing possibilities and walks near the château. We highly recommend it!Translating
Attention: narrow passage over a small bridge (2.05 m is okay). Large, flat grassy area, quiet beside the Cher. A few walkers, but nothing troublesome. The only noises were a hot-air balloon right next door in the morning around 7 a.m., though it was not very loud, and a tractor on the other side of the Cher at 8 a.m. Out of courtesy, we asked the canoe rental company if we could spend the night, and they had no problem with it.Translating
Accessible by van Quiet and pleasant night because it was Thursday evening and the canoes and bar were not open! Pedestrian paths along the water for early risers.Translating
Great for a picnic! Nice open space near the river and Château de Chenonceau. We did not spend the night, but I see no prohibition.Translating
Very nice picnic spot, but not much room for spending the night. A large grassy parking area reserved for canoes, closed when the rental company closes.Translating
Attention, there is a very narrow little bridge inaccessible to large motorhomes, plus a large rock that makes passage difficult. Cars or small vans only.Translating
