We arrived in ther Dordogne on the 16thAugust and we had two nice days, then we had heavy rain fro 4/5 days then a few cloudy days then 3 mega hot days. The day we packed up we had a thunder storm. Drove to the Loire for a night stop over and although it was dry thought it was cold.

We stayed near Royan for the first 2 weeks in August and had warm sunshine the whole time, although we did have a couple of wet mornings but by lunchtime the sun had come out.

We were also very lucky with the weather in May and came back with a fantastic tan - mainly because we didn't travel far from the site because of car problems.  We were due to go back again a week last Friday, and had to postpone our trip, but now re-arranged for Friday this week.  Just hoping the good weather continues - and taking another fleece, and a hottie for the cooler nights!

Tethers, how was Le Soleil then, and will you be going back next year. I personally cannot wait to go back but it was our first time their. Hope you had a good holiday anyway.

It was great. Arrived 3 hrs early for the mobilehome but that was 'no problem', kids disappeared unless they were hungry or skint. Despite its size the atmosphere was relaxed on site and the area has loads to do. Noise from Luna park was intrusive but not overly so in a lively holiday area. Kids have demanded a return and we are happy to oblige - 1st rule of holiday is parents will only have a good time where kids havce a good time - nobody gets a good time if the teenagers are grumpy.

We were really lucky too. We were just outside Paris from 26 Aug to 02 Sept and did not have one drop of rain fall!

You lucky lot we have wall to wall rain in June in France.  I don't mind a few days with rain but to be raining from morning till night and then during the night and waking up to it again in the morning, soggy feet, canvas and clothes!!!!! No thank you.
