La Fortinerie is a 'Longere' (traditional French farmhouse) over 300 years old, it is a small farm typical of the region, with 4 acres of wooded land and open grounds. It is nestled in the 'Foret de Monnaie', surrounded by trees; a place where you can really get a breath of fresh air, you will also find a variety of flora and fauna around the edges of the ponds and streams which run through it. Our bell tent is for glampers on a budget and is a bedroom only with access to our brand new shared bathroom block and kitchen. There are 2 separate bathrooms each with WC, rain jet shower and basin, as well as plug sockets for hairdryers and shavers. The shared kitchen is fully equipped and also includes cutlery and crockery. These areas are shared with the main campsite which has 5 pitches. The bell tent also features a private BBQ. WiFi is available throughout.

We have lived in France for a few years now and love the French way of life, the slower pace, fresh air and clean living. After spending most of that time working for others, we decided to put our efforts into our own project and here we are, the new owners of camping La Fortinerie, looking forward to opening fully in June 2018.

We are nestled in Foret de Monnaie in the Loire Valley. The picturesque town of Saumur is a 30 minute drive and the beautiful villages of Mouliherne and Vernantes are within about 5-10 minutes drive. There are lots of activities in the local area, most centred around the great outdoors, such as walks, cycle routes, dog-sledding, acro-branching (treetop adventure/ziplining). There's also rich culture and heritage such as troglodyte caves, chateaux, the Cadre Noir, wineries and mushroom farms.
