    Very pleasant long weekend at the campsite. We had a 4-person mobile home, which is new and super functional. The campsite services are very good, the pool is great for kids and the premises are clean. The staff are smiling and very pleasant. The shade provided by the trees on the campsite is great, especially when it's not 30 degrees.

The beach is a 20-minute walk away... a pleasant little forest path to cross... Nice bike ride to Sables d'Olonne... through the Olonne marshes and forest... a change of scenery... Very lucky to have had good weather in April...not many people...👍 And I'll finish with the welcome and kindness of the owners... They are very attentive and available to customers... We recommend this campsite..and we'll be back with great pleasure... Les Tourangeaux
