This little place was first built in the middle Ages and there are still some streets packed with really old buildings, most notably its central axis, the pretty Grande-Rue, where one such dates back as far as the eleventh century, alongside an assortment of 500-year-old half-timbered houses that look down on the bustle of shoppers below. If you like exploring old cathderals then this is the place for you because Dol still has a huge granite cathedral with its strange, squat, tiled towers.

Dol-de-Bretagne should appeal to all ages and tastes. There is the beach a short distance away and masses of history such as Le Mont St Michel, Bayeux where the huge tapestry depicting the battle of Hastings is housed and slightly further away and nearer to Caen.

Camping Chateau des Ormes is set in 250 acres of parkland and woods. It's a really popular site and can become quite lively in high season! There's loads to do including a waterpark with 4-lane waterslide as well as an indoor pool complex. For the more lazy among you, there are pedalos on the lake or you could try your hand at a spot of fishing!
