Sous la Colline, Campground in La Biolle, France.
Sous la Colline is a campsite set on a meadow surrounded by woodland, offering about 25 pitches with electrical connections. Basic facilities include showers, toilets, dishwashing areas, and a common room for guests to use.
The site centers on a farmhouse from 1892 that still shows its original building structure. Converting it into a campground demonstrates how older rural buildings can serve modern visitor needs.
The name reflects the site's position beneath a hillside, connecting directly to the natural setting. You experience here the straightforward way locals relate to their countryside surroundings.
The site operates from April to October with adequate space for cars and caravans on the meadow. Visitors should be aware the surroundings are heavily wooded and access roads are narrow, which can be challenging during wet weather.
The location sits within easy reach of Lac du Bourget, the country's largest freshwater lake, making swimming or water activities accessible. This nearness means visitors get countryside peace while staying close to larger water-based options.
