We have just returned from a week at Le Chaponnet followed by a week at Chateau du Deffay.  We expected the sites to be quite different, but not as different as it turned out. Le Chaponnet had a very mixed clientele, in terms of age and nationality.  It also had a buzz and vibrancy that was great, and we are sure to visit again. Chateau du Deffay is very different.  Around 3/4 of the caravans and motorhomes were from the UK, which was a real shock,  The site has the feel of a Caravan Club site.  This is good because we like Caravan Club sites; it is also not good as we didn't come to France to stay at a Caravan Club site. Finally, the croissants from the site are not that good and were quite greasy.  The ones from the local LIDL were much better and less than 1/3 of the price.
