Released in 2006, the film Camping directed by Fabien Onteniente arrives on Netflix from July 15, 2025. This French comedy stars Gérard Lanvin, Mathilde Seigner and co-writer Franck Dubosc in a light-hearted summer chronicle of campsite life on the Atlantic coast. Produced at the time as a cartoonish but affectionate portrait of French holidaymakers, the film proved a popular box-office success and spawned several sequels.
Camping will be available on Netflix from July 15, 2025.
Synopsis: At the Flots Bleus campsite, people arrive from all over France. Like every year, it's time for the regular families to get together for the customary aperitif. Except that this year, the Pic family no longer have their pitch 17, the Gatineau family have their own tent, and Patrick Chirac, the playboy from Dijon, has been dumped by his wife. It's at this campsite that Michel Saint Josse, a plastic surgeon in Paris, unwillingly finds himself confronted with the existential problems of a species hitherto unknown to him: the camper...
Camping follows in a well-known tradition of popular French cinema, in which characters with contrasting backgrounds cross paths on vacation. The film marked its time with its accessible tone, cult expressions and unifying cast. Its success in cinemas, with over 5 million admissions in France, led to the production of two sequels, released in 2010 and 2016, still centered on Patrick Chirac, played by Franck Dubosc.
Camping features a number of familiar faces. Gérard Lanvin plays a rigid surgeon confronted with the relaxed world of camping, while Mathilde Seigner and Claude Brasseur play colorful regulars. Franck Dubosc, who co-wrote the screenplay, plays a role that would become emblematic of his career. This cast provides a variety of comic situations and dialogues rooted in French vacation culture.
The launch of Camping on Netflix is part of a strategy to re-release popular French films from the 2000s. As summer approaches, the platform is banking on the nostalgia and accessibility of this family comedy to attract a wide audience. The return of Patrick Chirac could also spark a new desire for a sequel or spin-off, as several old hits in the same genre are being revived or adapted as series.
This film will appeal to fans of light comedies, those nostalgic for the 2000s and those who have experienced camping vacations in France. It could be of interest to viewers who enjoyed Les Bronzés, Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis or Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? Its availability on Netflix also means it can be discovered by a new generation, in a relaxed summer setting.
Camping is a French comedy directed by Fabien Onteniente, written with Franck Dubosc, about life at a family campsite on the Atlantic coast. Featuring an intergenerational cast, the film is based on comic situations linked to the cultural and social differences of the holidaymakers. Long appreciated for its light, accessible tone, it's back on streaming for a new digital life.
