Aire de Frais Puits

Nestled just outside the historic city of Orange in the heart of Vaucluse, Aire de Frais Puits offers a peaceful, countryside stopover for motorhomes. Located at 289 Chemin de Clos Cavalier, 84100 Orange, France, the site comprises six generous, flat, shaded grass or mixed-surface pitches of approximately 200 m² each.

Each pitch comes with a 10-amp electrical hook-up, fresh water from an on-site well, free WiFi and up to two bags of ice cubes per day per pitch. Tables, chairs and a hammock are available in the shady communal picnic area, ideal for outdoor meals and relaxing.

Although basic in its sanitary offering — there are no on-site showers or toilet blocks — the site compensates with tranquillity, generous outdoor space and excellent proximity to Roman-era city highlights.

For travellers seeking a simple, nature-connected campsite near Orange with motorhome services (power, water, WiFi) this location is highly recommended.

Within 1.5 km of the pitches lies the heart of Orange, home to its UNESCO-listed Théâtre Antique d’Orange and Arc de Triomphe — both among France’s most remarkable Roman landmarks.

The ViaRhôna and Via Venaissia cycling trails pass just a few hundred metres away, perfect for scenic rides through vineyards and the Rhône valley.

Restaurants, bakeries, and supermarkets are within a five-minute drive or a pleasant 25-minute walk, while the motorway junctions (A7/A9) ensure smooth access to Provence’s wider highlights.

For day trips, Avignon is about 30 minutes away, and the Mediterranean beaches are reachable in around 40 minutes.

Aire de Frais Puits operates all year round, welcoming self-contained motorhomes by reservation. Twin-axle vehicles are accepted, and check-in is arranged directly with the owner by phone (no reception on site).

There are no toilets or showers, so this stop is best suited for equipped campervans and motorhomes.

Charcoal barbecues are not permitted, and under-18s must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

The site is dog-friendly, offering a safe, natural environment for four-legged travellers.

With its quiet atmosphere, generous pitch sizes, and proximity to Orange’s cultural treasures, Aire de Frais Puits is an ideal choice for travellers looking for authenticity and comfort in the Provence countryside.
