A clean, welcoming place with a magnificent view over the vineyards, unfortunately spoiled by a dog barking all night—not cool at all.Translating
Simply perfect hospitality! We had a fascinating cultural exchange about the region, followed by an exceptional tasting of their wines, each more delicious than the last. The owner was remarkably kind and attentive. A memorable experience in every respect!Translating
Bravo and thank you. The view is superb, and the seasonal colors are beautiful. Clean place, bin and water available. We visited the owner’s wine cellar and had a tasting. Thank you for what you do. Ben and Kiki.Translating
Many thanks to the estate for generously offering a few pitches! A truly exceptional spot, in the heart of the vineyards and just steps from Beauval ZooParc. The place is extremely quiet and pleasant, and the addition of a picnic table is a real bonus. A wonderful initiative—thank you again for your generosity!Translating
A very warm welcome. After parking, we were immediately invited to a wine tasting. In the cellar there is a seating area with activities for children, and later some delicious grape juice. We bought plenty for both adults and children and really enjoyed the idyllic place.Translating
A perfect spot: quiet, facing the vineyards, and three minutes from Beauval. The owners are very welcoming. We thank Alain for the tasting and the conversations about the regional terroir.Translating
Pleasant setting with an unobstructed view over the valley and vineyards. Very adequate pitch size. For those wanting to visit Beauval Zoo, ideally located barely three minutes away.Translating
Very warm welcome with a cellar tour. Pitches among the vineyards. The plus: very friendly neighbors :)Translating
Very good, quiet location for people visiting Beauval Park during the day, as we did. We were alone among the vineyards and took the opportunity to buy some excellent grape juice. The park is only a few minutes away by car. The free drinking water available on site is a huge plus! Thanks again!Translating
Very warm welcome, even though we arrived unexpectedly. Wine tasting with the purchase of a bottle of white wine; other choices are available. Very beautiful spot in nature, five minutes from the zoo.Translating
The welcome was very friendly and we were shown our pitch. We toured the wine cellar and learned about the production, followed by a wine tasting. Chaterine explained the individual wines and grapes to us. We found the Côt and Gamay very delicious. Access must be via the D675, following the signs from La Touche. Easily accessible even for an 8-meter vehicle. We highly recommend it.Translating
A very beautiful and quiet place. The dogs only bark in the morning when there is activity on the property. A wine tasting was still possible at 6 p.m. Thank you for setting up this place.Translating
Very welcoming hostess, beautiful pitch dedicated to motorhomes, possibility of topping up with water if needed, view of the vineyards, quiet. The only drawback: dogs barking constantly from 6:30 a.m., but it is a farm, so it is part of the scenery!Translating
Absolutely fantastic. Stayed after visiting the ZooParc. Level hard standing pitches with superb views. Weather was atrocious but the proprietor still made the effort for us to have a tasting. We bought lots of the very fairly priced wine.
A very warm welcome from Mrs. Barras, who was very friendly. We had a small tasting at a beautiful cellar. The motorhome pitch is super-quiet and the place is lovely. We were able to fill up with water. A great night.Translating
Very warm welcome, beautiful quiet pitch for one night. We could not try the tasting because we were short of time, but we certainly wanted to!Translating
Wonderful welcome at 8 p.m. Absolute peace and quiet. Five minutes from Beauval. Perfect.Translating
Great place. Tour and tasting with a very friendly lady. Excellent Sauvignon. A quiet night surrounded by vineyards. We will return.
Wonderful place! We highly recommend it. The setting is sublime and the owners delightful. Do the tasting—the wines are very good!
Thank you for the welcome at this magnificent, restful site.
Superb, quiet pitch in the middle of the vineyards.
Very warm welcome from the owners. Pitch surrounded by vineyards. Very quiet and relaxing. I recommend it 100%.
We were very well received at this estate, with a wine tasting hosted by the winemaker’s wife, who was really kind. The parking area is flat with a beautiful view over the vineyards and nature. The site is less than five minutes from Beauval Zoo’s parking area!
Ideal place for visiting Beauval Zoo: quiet and in the middle of the vineyards.
Wonderful place to stay for one night. The owners are very pleasant, and you can taste their delicious wine! A quiet night with two children. I highly recommend it.
