English Speaking campsite in the Heart of Historical Normandy

Welcome to 'le Puits' CAMPING - Open 1st March to 31st October Inc.

Camping Le Puits is a family run campsite in the village of St Martin des Besaces offering camping / caravanning and Bed & Breakfast. Perfectly situated for exploring the undulating picturesque countryside, tasting renowned cheeses, sampling sparkling cider and of course, the famous Calvados.

Once a working farmstead, the grounds (9 acres) have been re-designed with 30 large individually marked pitches, hedges, apple trees and borders overlooking lush green fields. The farmhouse, which has been tastefully renovated, retains its country charm with 4 elegantly decorated en-suite rooms providing comfortable Bed & Breakfast accommodation with pleasant views.

Link to Memorial Site

To the North of St Martin des Besaces are the D-day Landing Beaches, where they recently celebrated the 65th Anniversary of the landings, and Bayeux with its famous tapestry. To the South is the historic and pretty village of Domfront, within Normandy's large regional park. To the East in Suisse Normand (little Switzerland) is Clécy with a miniature railway and the River Orne for canoeing and fishing. To the West lies the breathtaking Le Mont St Michel and the beaches along the Cotentin shoreline. Within the village, there is a Museum dedicated to the liberation of the Bocage Region and for the more adventurous - nearby Bungy Jumping.

catdogWe accept domestic pets on the camp site (not in the B&B), so long as they are kept on a lead at all times. There is a vet in the village capable of dealing with the necessary injections for return to the UK. Please see the new Government information, which was changed with effect from 1st January 2012.

Peter and Fran offer all visitors a warm, friendly welcome and endeavour to make your visit to Normandy as enjoyable and memorable as possible.

REFLECTIVE JACKETS & WARNING TRIANGLES IN FRANCE

A law concerning the compulsory carrying of a reflective jacket (EN471) and a warning triangle (ECE R27) in France came into force on 1st July 2008. The fine for non-compliance will be between €90 and €135.

ADVISORY information regarding breathalyzer kits

Recent reports have suggested that it is now a legal requirement to carry a breathalyzer test in your vehicle whilst driving in France. However, the legal department of the ACF (Automobile Club de France) have confirmed to the Camping Club that the law has not changed, and this requirement is currently only a proposal. Until the law is changed motorists are able to carry on as they do at present.

If the law were to change the ACF are unable to confirm at this stage whether it would be applicable to visiting motorists or just French residents. However, if you would like to purchase a disposable breathalyzer, they are available from most French pharmacies and cost approximately €1.00.
