Lakes and canals

As part of a 'Combined Deal' - two campsites and ferry crossings advertised in the Club magazine, my wife and I stayed in this site for a week in September 2022. What a delightful discovery! The campsite is neat with hedged pitches and good clean facilities. the staff are helpful and there is a small shop and bar plus indoor pool. There are chickens and goats and a some 'glamping' sites away from the main camping area and the chickens will visit you too. We visited after rentree, so apart from some weekend families there were few children and those that were there there created little noise. The main attractions are the four/five?- I lost count, etangs, one of which is for serious aquatic leisure activities - the others informal fishing lakes. My wife is a keen painter and I enjoy wildlife photography so this area is all in walking distance - and they laid on the sunshine too. The extensive lakes lie just outside the campsite boundary and are very popular with fishermen who caught large carp, eels and other fish. I happily photographed grebes, kingfishers and other birds and spotted water voles too. The nearby town of Pont Audemer is a hidden gem. Although quite a large town with extensive facilities it is accessed by a quiet canal-side road and is a maze of narrow allies and canals lined with medieval houses - opening up to a wider main street with weekly market. A quiet cycle ride in the opposite direction to St Sulpice provided additional walks and painting opportunities and we had no desire to travel further although the coast at Honfleur and Le Havre is nearby. We normally stay on small CL sites in the UK so this was large by our standards but I would not hesitate to recommend it.
