Whenever I've been to Brittany the weather has been mixed. The last time was 3 years ago when the first week was fairly windy and changeable but the second week was much better. I remember the first time I ever went was similar too. And as for the Vendee, I've only ever experienced very good weather (but that was a few years ago now!)

South of the Loire is considered to have a slightly different climate than the north (if you believe the BBC weather web site) and Brittany in particular is more akin to the SW England.

And as for summers getting wetter/worse, 'more intense rainfall events' is what our climate change gurus at work tell us...



Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

The first time we went to Brittany under canvass it rained almost continually for 2 weeks. We had to dig a deep drainage channel around the tent to stop being flooded out. We loved the place despite the rain so the next year we booked a gite and had nothing but sun for our holiday. Full of optimism we returned the following year with the tent and ... yep, it rained solidly.
We now travel further south.

We don't see things as they are, but as we are.
