If you’re looking for a lovely place to spend the first or last night of your hire, the sleepy village of St Julien du Sault in Burgundy is a great choice.

Situated on the banks of the River Yonne this charming little village is just 20 minutes from our depot.

Complete with a campsite – Camping des Îles – (our clients’ local favourite) and an “Aire de Service” (free overnight halt for campervans with facilities to empty waste/fill up with water), the village is a perfect location to start or end your campervan journey.

The campsite overlooks the River Yonne and has a sandy beach for swimmers so it’s a lovely place for a cool dip on a hot Burgundy day.

The riverside beach – Le Côté Plage – is open from April to October, from where it is also possible to hire kayaks if you’re feeling like a little river trip. The campsite has a laundry, with washing machines, dryers and ironing facilities.
