    We usually never go back to the same place twice, but frankly, the 2 weeks seemed so short that the stay was really great! |It's the only 25m pool in all the campsites in France to open at 8.30am, great for swimming|Activities, entertainment, nothing to complain about |Personnel who listen to us

    Beautiful campsite on top of a hill. Therefore a bit remote from the villages. But on the other hand also very quiet because it is not located on a road. The campground is very stretched out and consists of several parts. There are two areas for campers. One under the trees where the sites are scattered. And the other somewhat larger spots that are next to each other with the occasional tree. The campground has a great pool and fun entertainment in the evening. It is all French but they also try for the many Dutch people a nice vacation of it. In terms of food it is a pity that the baguettes are baked. A good deal with a local baker would be a lot better. Also the pizza dough is not to write home about much too dry and too tough. The burgers are highly recommended though. Also the restaurant is a must or evening grab a drink at the bar. The campsite is definitely recommended!

    Mooie camping boven op een heuvel. Daardoor wel wat afgelegen van de dorpjes. Maar aan de andere kant ook heerlijk rustig omdat het niet ligt aan een weg. De camping is zeer uitgerekt en bestaat uit meerdere delen. Er zijn twee plekken voor kampeerders. 1 onder de bomen waar de plekken verspreid liggen. En de ander wat grotere plekken die naast elkaar liggen met af en toe een boom. De camping heeft een fantastisch zwembad en leuke entertainment in de avond. Het is allemaal wel Frans maar men probeert ook voor de vele Nederlanders een leuke vakantie van te maken. Qua eten het is jammer dat de stokbroden worden afgebakken. Een goeie deal met een plaatselijke bakker zou een stuk beter zijn. Ook het Pizzadeeg is niet om naar huis te schrijven veel te droog en te taai. De hamburgers zijn wel een aanrader. Ook het restaurant is een aanrader of savonds een borreltje pakken bij de bar. De camping is dus zeker een aanrader!
