An interesting site in a relatively unknown part of France. Ideal for the water enthusiasts
The lady at reception was absolutely delightful and extremely helpful. We were allocated pitch no 77 which was a service pitch one level back from the pitches overlooking the lake but as the pitch in front of us wasn’t occupied for a few days we had an excellent outlook over the lake. Getting to the pitch was a bit difficult as the access road was very narrow and the motor mover was essential getting on and off the pitch. Although the pitch appeared flat we soon found out that it had a considerable slope . In fact initially we set up parallel to the lake but after a while we decided to change our set up to make sleeping easier. Pitches are relatively tight but are private surrounded by hedgerows. Being on a service pitch we were able to use our main water pump but due to the way we had to pitch up it was a bit tight also being a service pitch I should have been able to use a direct waste water but as we had a British van the outlet was on the opposite side so I had to use the waste Master, but not a problem.There were two shower/toilet blocks on the site and both were cleaned regularly. Plenty of hot water and the shower cubicles are a good size. The washing up areas, laundry areas and chemical waste were all well maintained and cleaned regularly.The bar on site offered a limited selection of beers on tap. Bottled beer was available and plenty of cocktails. Of course wine readily available. As for the restaurant we ate on a themed night when we had the local delicacy ( basically cheese and potato pie and sausages) which was very nice and it was a great atmosphereThe restaurant does have a varied menu offering salads, pizzas, burgers but also grills and speciality dishes. There was limited entertainment but it was okay.The swimming pool was a nice size pool with a depth of 1.5 mts. I should imagine it would be quite cramped in peak season.We also swam in the lake as this site has its own beach and there is a large specified area allocated for swimming.The site offered free Wi-Fi. If you have a canoe or paddle board and enjoy that sport this is an excellent location . If you have children this site offers great childrens play areas. Getting to the site can present a little difficulty especially using sat nav which doesn't seem to recognise the location. When you get to the roundabout on the outskirts of Salles Curran whether you’ve travelled on the D119 or the D993 look for the D577 and drive that road for 2.3 miles. After 2.2 miles you will approach a right hand bend and just after you turn right into a tarmac road. The site is signposted but not very well. Continue down this road for 1.3 miles. Be careful because there are some tight bends and the road does narrow in places. You will think that you will never get there but shortly you will see flagpoles with international flags mounted. The entrance to the site is here on the right.
