Thanks everyone for all the fantastic advice, i think we will be taking our own van if we do have to go in school holidays as this seems the cheaper option but at least by looking on some of the tour operators websites i know what is on offer.

Im still unsure which are the best areas for the weather, from what i have read Brittany seems to have the more unsettled weather, is this correct and what about Normandy, Vendee regions?

Sorry to keep asking all these questions but want to make sure we get it right.

Vendee has its own microclimate and particularly the southern vendee can be very good in terms of weather. However weather anywhere isnt 100% guaranteed, weve just been to the loire where weve never known really bad weather in august and it rained every day for a week.Completely unexpected and very much unprecedented so we were told!

People staying in the south that we knew had travelled all that way down and it was still raining!

This year we stayed just north of Royan and the weather was brilliant.  We did have 2 wet mornings but after lunch the sun came out and set of for the beach.

This is the furthest south we have been and the best weather by far. We have previously stayed in the Vendee.

we used sites aboard this year and found them very reasonable, although know we could have got a cheaper price if we had booked independently, the main reason i used them was we were taking our own tent to france for the first time and i only booked the week before we went, so wanted to make sure i hadn't messed up booking!!!
