My favourite stop whenever I’m passing through this part of France.

Jun 2026

Liked This is my second visit to Le Petit Hêtre, and it won’t be my last. If you’re after true peace and quiet in the French countryside, Le Petit Hêtre is a hidden gem. Ludovic’s hospitality truly stands out—as always, he’s ready to help and make you feel at home. The site provides everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, including the bonus of power hookups. This is the perfect place for anyone who values a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and wants to unwind in nature. I highly recommend this site to anyone seeking a restful, uncomplicated, and stress-free getaway at exceptional value. A special thanks to Ludovic for his genuine friendliness and those thoughtful little touches—like a couple of cold beers left in the fridge for your arrival. I feel like we struck up a real friendship. Looking forward to my next stay!
