A must visit area

We were welcomed by a very pleasant lady , at reception, who spoke perfect English. We were asked to chose our pitch and return let her know which we had decided on. After walking around the site we eventually chose Pitch no. 3. It was a good size pitch near the entrance and all amenities. Good flat level pitch on grassy area close to amenities and good size. Not much of an outlook as the pitches were in small cul de sacs of about 11 spaces. FACILITIES Toilet and shower block- Although the main block was central there were two other blocks on this site. The block looked relatively modern and consisted of unisex toilets and showers which were cleaned regularly (3/4 times a day) There was also a separate block purely for disabled people. Washing up area- Lots of hot water and constantly kept clean Laundry area.- as per the washing up Fresh water- somewhat difficult to find initially but I did eventually find an outlet just 100 meters from our pitch. Waste water and chemical waste- only available outlet we could find was at the main Motorhome service point which fortunately wasn’t too far away for us but had I chosen a pitch elsewhere I might have had a long walk to get there. Bar- used on first night but the prices were somewhat extortionate. ( £10 for two beers). It is after all a Commercially run site Restaurant- we didn’t see many people using the Restaurant which quite honestly it was merely a snack bar with a very limited menu which again we considered overpriced Pool- a nice little pool which we used twice. Really to cool off. I should imagine it would be quite cramped in peak season Entertainment- on the day we arrived we were told that there would be lots of “activities” as from the 1st July. Although there was something taking place it wasn’t’ noisey at all. LOCATION Supermarkets- an excellent Intermarche within a mile or so. Lots of choice. Petrol/diesel- at the local supermarket Attractions- Lots to see and do in the area. We visited the Puy de Dome and it was excellent value for money. We travelled to the summit and back by the train and spent a good few hours at the summit wandering around. This area is very popular with ramblers and hikers. There are lots of castles and points of traditional crafts in the area. Clement Ferrand is the regional capital but very busy. This area has something like 80 extinct volcanoes . Sadly because the site is not in a recognised tourist area it is possibly overlooked by many British travellers. The site is part of the Huttopia Group of campsites and as such you will pay higher costs for pitches and facilities. Having said that it is situated in a residential area and is well managed. It is not the easiest place to find but it is worth visiting. We stayed for 5 nights but if we had booked longer we would have done more touring of this beautiful part of the Avergne which is steeped in history. I will make a point of coming back
