Camping Des Gayeulles, nestled in the beautiful Gayeulles Park, is located in the heart of Breton’s capital city Rennes. You experience the best of two worlds here: the nearness of the city and the tranquillity of the countryside. Whether you come with your own camping equipment, choose to rent a luxury city lodge or prefer a small hut, Camping Des Gayeulles has something for everyone.

The vast Gayeulles Park

The park in which the campsite is located is more than 100 hectares in size and is an ideal spot for families and sports enthusiasts. Enjoy lovely hikes through wooded areas, over open meadows and past ponds. There are also sports paths, foot trails and cycle paths and a recreational lake with an indoor swimming pool. The neighbourhood boasts a petting zoo as well.

Food and drinks along the waterfront

You are very welcome all year round in Camping Des Gayeulles’ modern reception building. The campsite attracts mainly pensioners, resulting in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Although the campsite itself does not have a restaurant, Brasserie Le Parc de Bois is only a five-minute walk away. From April to October this bustling location on the water is also the place to be with its evening concerts and music.

Travelling without a car

Camping Des Gayeulles is easily accessible by public transportation or bicycle. The bus stop is only 500 metres away and the nearest metro station is a fifteen-minute walk away. A lovely green cycle route, about 5 kilometres long, takes you to the historic centre of Rennes.

Travelling party: Couple

WOW! what a find! this is a wonderful site. Little pop up creperie in summer. Through the woods on site a wonderful bar/restaurant on a beautiful lake. Fab for a stopover or long stay. Suberb if you have kids, tons for them to do. Large pool just outside site. easy bus to Rennes old town, although we were disappointed as it had an awful lot of graffiti on the stunning buildings.
