We arrived on site on World Cup Final day - much anticipation for the French!
The pitch allocated was flat; approx 10m x 15m and offered plenty of shade from the hot weather (much needed) and the water supply and drainage were straightforward at the rear of the pitch.
At the time of our stay French schools were out and so, the site was busy with a fair mix of young families and older couples which made peace and solitude less likely (our choice of dates - we will not make that error again)! We would with hindsight, have been better off with a pitch to the rear of the site away from the kiddies play area. There are also a number of chalets on site which were probably in use up to 40% capacity.
The bar was a little pricey - but the restaurant was reasonable with their modest menu.Facilities were clean but as the site became busier, could have been benefitted from a second cleans per day!
This region is quite different in that it is in the Vendee with lots of waterways across these flat lands. Walking to the pretty village of Coulon is to be recommended where inland boating prevails and visits to the Cities of La Rochelle and Niort are worthwhile.
In addition to this somewhat surprisingly, we spotted a pair of Kingfishers and a Coypu at or in the river near dusk on more than one occasion.
