We are booked on this site for two weeks in August and wondered what to expect. I guess it must be ok as it always gets booked up early?

We have been to St Jean de Monts before but I think we are a bit further down this time. Can anyone recommend places to go, things to do etc. in this area or give us any thoughts on the campsite please.

Thanks

My friend went there last year and was helped a great deal by the management when his car broke down.

I am seeing him tomorrow and will report back if you have had no replies  by then

We went in 2005 and are going again this year in the middle of August so will probably see you there. We found that the site is very child friendly and the kids seem to mix in well. There are a number of Keycamp, Eurocamp pitches and also some private ones. There is a lake which you can hire a canoe and go on, tennis courts, football pitches, table tennis tables, small shop, small arcade, restaurant, take away, swimming pool is okay.

 Rather than me ramble on if you want to email me on graeme at gsimpson3.fsnet.co.uk then I can answer any questions you may have. Suffice to say we fully enjoyed it but the one down side can be the unpredictable weather.

The area offers lovely countryside, with the Lac du Jaunay very close.  You are within 15 mins drive of some lovely beaches and St Gilles Croix de Vie for hypermarkets and other shopping.  Les Sable d'Olonne are about 30 mins away and th picturesque towns of Jard and Tranche are a little further down the coast.  The markets are very good - never been to a bad one.....  There are museums within easy reach if that's your thing and of course the Puy du Fou is about 50 mins away and offers a fantastic day out (I am told).  It is less busy an area than St Jean or Notre Dame de Monts or St Hilaire de Riez, being set back from the coast.

We have been to La Garangeoire twice and both times it was great.  We like country sites rather than those close to towns and this was a great site for us.  Nice walks and cycle rides in the area and not too far a drive to the beach.  The pitches are absolutely massive which is great.  The pool is quite small and gets really busy in high season so we did not really bother with it much.  The restaurant is nice and the shop has a good range.  The staff are really friendly and helpful.  It poured on us for a week last July but we still found stuff to do in the rain and will definitely return there in a few years.

You must have been there when we were last year, I took my daughter pony trekking round the site from the little stable at the end and we got absolutely drenched, but we will still go back the site is fab.
