Campervan Holiday Blonville sur Mer France
Campervan Holiday Blonville-sur-Mer France
After leaving Fecamp we drove west towards Honfleur on our way to Blonville-sur-Mer. We had a booking for a few nights camping at a beachside campsite called The Blonville-sur-mer beach campsite. It’s about one hour thirty minutes, so not too long a journey. We took the route over the Pont de Normandie which is a Toll bridge. (So we could stop off at Honfleur) It cost about €6.50 we easily paid by contactless payment on our phone.
After Honfleur, it was only another 30-minute drive to our campsite at Blonville-sur-Mer. The town is West of Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer. We picked this campsite so we could easily visit the nearby towns. The beach at Blonville-sur-Mer stretches for about two kilometres and is made up of fine sand. This makes it a perfect beach for families and a safe place to swim. Lifeguards are present during the High season from 1st July to 31st August.
We checked in to our site, parked up and headed off for a swim, the first swim of the holiday. It was cold, very cold, being the English Channel and more or less across from The Isle of Wight and the Solent, I felt that it was just like being at home. I lasted around 10 minutes. I am saving any future mad swimming ideas until we turn the corner and drive further south.
After our homemade evening meal, we walk into town. The centre of Blonville-sur-Mer was about A ten-minute walk from the campsite. It is very small, offering a supermarket, a few family-run shops, and several restaurants alongside a bakery La Blonvillaise (which made some very nice bread and cakes) This place may be small but it’s lovely looking, the buildings are beautiful, It is a very welcoming little place.

Access to the beach is via the following streets: Rue de Hoinville, Rue Louise, Rue Laforge, Boulevard Marcelle Lechanteur, Rue Pierre Jacquot, Rue Chevalier, Avenue Michel d’Ornano (opposite the Camping de la Plage campsite and the marshes). You can find a parking space in all the streets leading to the beach. These streets all offer free parking.
You will also find a ‘blue zone’ parking area (limited time – blue disk required) between Rue Jean Duchemin and Avenue Michel d’Ornano, by the central pharmacy.
