General information
The easy-going French camp site Aux Rives du Soleil is located right by the wide River Saône, just north of Mâcon. It is a peaceful camp site in natural surroundings in an area of hills and vineyards on the borders of Rhône-Alpes and Burgundy (the river is the border between the two regions). There are no large cities in this rural area but many typical French villages and towns.
The owners at Aux Rives du Soleil will do everything in their power to assist you. It is very peaceful in the evenings; this is not a camp site where discos or musical evenings are organised.
This site has other qualities, for example the attractive open hearth, a space with an open fire in an authentic building more than three hundred years old! You can enjoy a drink or dinner in front of the fire in May, June and September. In July and August there are also themed evenings such as wine tasting.
Don't forget to take your inflatable boat to float up and down the river! And if fishing is your hobby, there is plenty of that here. The pitches on these level grounds are separated by hedges. There is a swimming pool, a playing field with apparatus and a separate, safe enclosed toddlers' pool.
New at Aux Rives du Soleil camp site: a snack van and a bouncy castle.
You can rent canoes here for paddling around or fishing. There are also bikes for rent for trips to Pont-de-Vaux (3 km) where you can sign up for a boat trip. There is a theme park within 25 km of Aux Rives du Soleil and all Francophiles will feast on the cultural delights of Burgundy!
