Why stay here ...

Surrounded by farmland and close to St Vincent du Jard, this small, friendly site is ideal for a quieter stay. Guests receive a cheerful welcome from the English-speaking staff in reception, who will also provide fresh bread and pastries each morning. The range of amenities include outdoor and indoor pools and a multi-sports area. Some evening entertainment, such as moules-frites and disco nights, is held in the summer months, but the peaceful atmosphere is maintained all season.

The site offers easy access to lovely beaches and seaside villages nearby, where provisions can be obtained, and the resort of Les Sables-d’Olonne is a 35-minute drive. You can take a leisurely bike ride on one of the numerous cycle paths. To the east are some pretty towns such as Luçon and Marans, which are worth exploring.

Visit May 2020

La Mouette Cendrée
We, 2 persons and 1 dog stayed at La Mouette Cendree during May 2022. We were blessed with dry and warm weather, some days it could be described as hot. The site was quiet and I had the swimming pool to myself on several occasions. The site is well maintained and clean. Bring your own toilet paper as none provided. The site is about 35 mins walk to the nearest beach. The beaches to the south of Jard Sur Mer were nice and backed by forests which gave welcome shade. The Super U supermarket is about 10 minutes walk via the industrial estate. The walk into town is roadside, and takes about 30 mins. Walking the dog around the site was no problem because most of the grass pitches were vacant. It may not be that good in high season. I don't think I would use this site again because of its distance from the beaches and the town. No problem if you ride a bike or drive everywhere but in a campervan it means a bit of preparation before every trip

Good value for money

La Mouette Cendrée
Just returned from visiting this site. Nice site located near Jard sur Mer and St Vincent. Not very welcoming and no site information provided, but helpful tourist information office in Jard. Pitches nice size with hedges around and waterpoints nearby. No motorhome servicepoint so had to connect with hose into back of them and use a pair of pliers. Toilets and showers clean and modern but toilet paper not provided and handgel provided outside. Showers require connect bracelet to use but these were not easy to use and seem to malfunction and only half of the showers worked. Not particularly quiet site despite noise warnings and 1 night loud music until midnight. Walking distance to Super u was about 10 minutes and to the beach about 30 minutes. Lovely walk along sea front from Jard to St Vincent. Also nice walk from Jard along seafront and through woodlands. Good market in Jard on Monday morning.

Small, quiet, friendly site

La Mouette Cendrée
This was only our second trip away in our caravan and our first as Caravan Club members. We found the site quite easily and were told we could park anywhere, which was nice. Most of the pitches are a decent size and are reasonably private. Bit disappointed not to have been given any info on arrival, not even a map of the site, so were really left to fend for ourselves. Having just re-read some of the other reviews, it sounds like bread, etc, is available from reception but having been there a week we were not aware of that! However, we were loaned a converter plug for the electric (as we'd left ours at home!), for which we were grateful. The site was generally quiet and the location is very convenient for the supermarket, the village and the beaches, although Jard-sur-Mer and some of the other little towns are really just holiday resorts with little or no character. I suspect in the high season it is very busy and not so quiet. We weren't greatly enamoured with the cleanliness of the loos and showers and chose to use our own in the caravan. That said, if we were to return to the area, we would probably stay here again.

Quiet site out of season

La Mouette Cendrée
Nice site can recommend to anyone, we stayed late in september (2016 ) and we had the choice of any touring pitch. Clean site services all there the site loaned me a conversion plug from blue plug to french 2 pin and earth plug. Supermarket around two minutes in car through industrial estate or a 15 min walk. Village centre and beach all within walking distance. Would use again if we return to this area.

fantastic again

La Mouette Cendrée
This was our 4th visit here and we loved the new covered pool. The site is wonderfully placed for supermarket and conches beach 10 mins in car. Christine and Patrick and family really work hard at running a fab site, and we will return again next year. Pitches are a good size and toilet facilities are adequate, plenty of hot water and a pleasant mix of touring and statics. A little gem.
