Welcome to "en Campagne" Camping and Gîtes . A mere four hours' drive from Paris, the small hamlet of Essubras is part of the community of Saint-Christophe and is located in the beautiful and hilly landscape of the Charente-Limousine in the Département of Charente "en Campagne" (which means "on the countryside").

You will always find a warm welcome at Camping & Gîtes “en campagne”. However: the campsite is only open from 1 april - 1 oktober. 

A unique holiday for those who love to get away from it all. Our hope is that you will leave "Essubras" loving it. Explore our web site to discover just how you can spend your time in the beautiful Charente Limousin.

On arrival at the Camp Site you'll immediately feel stress simply melt away as you relax and enjoy the good life!

Surroundings:

Quiet streams, lively rivers and bucolic scenery the Charente Limousine is perfect for getting back to nature, on foot, horseback, or mountain bike.

"En Campagne" is surrounded by very peaceful undulating wooded hills and fields. It is not densely populated, there being just small villages and hamlets and no main roads and where just the stars light up the night sky. More information on the nature around us at our page: nature

Together with the friendly local people, it means you can enjoy your holiday in an unspoiled and unhurried way in a place where time seems to stand still.

There are plenty of museums and historic places of interest to visit. Look for more details at our page "surroundings".

You will find the hamlet of Essubras and our Camping and Gîtes, in the centre of Charente-Limousine and the ‘Pays de la Mandragore’.

The pays de la Mandragore in fact, is more than just a beautiful place to be. It is also reputed to be the home of a legendary monster… the Mandrake (or as the French call it, Mandragore)! In fact, the Mandrake is a poisonous plant that originally comes from Southern Italy and Greece. It possesses a root, once thought to resemble the human form and is said to shriek when plucked!

The total "En Campagne" property covers 1.5 hectares, and features a large area for campsite. The main building of the complex  is an old 17th century former farm house. Which was enlarged and renovated after 1970 into a holiday centre. We created, after extensive building and renovation works, in 2004 a welcoming and comfortable environment of high quality: a  gîte/apartment complex with campsite. Four gîtes (apartments) are in the main building and two gîtes (cottages) are 17 th century cottages retaining many original features.

Our facilities:

The swimming pool on the Camp Site is an ideal "playing" paradise. More info of our swimming pool and other facilities such as, free wifi installation, the volleyball court, the table tennis table and the  jeux de boules court can be found at our page: "facilities".

Further attractions of the Essubras region include lakes and rivers. These feature excellent water quality and are ideal for swimming, rowing, canoeing or wind surfing

For the more energetic visitor there are also nearby facilities for tennis, rafting, canoeing, racing on a circuit,  cave exploration and abseiling.
