Thanks for that, we have a 7 metre motorhome and I've read the pitches are small, what size are they?How are the access roads and is it ok getting on and off your pitch?

I read reviews on one site that said it was noisy after 10.30pm? and are the tourers mixed in with keycamp/eurocamp or are they all together?

 If we go it will be from the 17th August so we'd overlap by a couple of days. It looks really good for children up to 12. Our daughter is 10. Do you have children? If she finds friends it gives us a good holiday too (glass of wine, good book and feet up 

We are attracted to it by the location as with the MH its a big plus to be able to walk to the beach and shops.

Sorry about all the questions!!!! Thanks a million

Hi,
Our caravan is over 6.5m shipping lenght and we found the pitch to be adequate. There seems to be some bigger than others. People across from us had their caravan turned sideways on the pitch and still had room to put their inflatable boat(which was quite big) at the side. We dont have any experience of other sites in France so cant compare them.
We did not notice any noise at night, in fact were very surprised at how quiet it was after 10pm. Only one night there was a concert in the town and it went on quite late. You could hear the noise, in the awning, but it couldnt be heard inside the van.
We have two children a boy, 13 and a girl 11. They both loved the site. The entertainment is very low key at night, but they still enjoyed it. Our daughter made friends easily, but our son normaly dosent bother.
We loved the fact that the town and beach were walkable, also there is a large Super U very close, we never took the car to it. Our car was only moved three times while we were there.
We are leaving on 21st August so we will overlap. It would be nice to meet up, sounds like our interests are the same!!!!!!!!!
You will not have a problem recognising our car it will have a N. Ireland registration, we were the only one there last time.
Glad to answer any other questions you have.

Sorry forgot to say that the pitches are mixed in with the tents and statics of the tour operators but we didnt find this to be a problem

Hi Jeff and Sharon

We are looking to go to a similar location at the end of August.  Do you have an address of the site or could pin point it in google - sorry to be a pain.  We are so undecided at the moment were to go along that coast!!!

The beach is divided into two by a road leading to a pier.
To the right of the pier is the most popular beach. The waves are usually good, there were a couple of calm days.
The beach to the left of the pier is less busy. There is a couple of sailing/windsurfing schools, we used one of them for the kids to learn windsurfing, they had a great time.
The pool tends to be on the cool side, but that didnt seem to deter many people. There are bench type seats, some with backs, all around the pool, also permanent sunshades. I usually took a folding chair with me to the pool, a trick I learned from the campsites in England. Got fed up not getting a lounger/seat, due to families allowing their kids to put towels etc on them and then never being out of the pool long enough to sit on them. This totally does my head, in as I think it is such bad manners.
I have only read reviews on this site, where have you got yours from?

Hi we have been to the beach at Tranche lots of times when we have stayed in Jard Sur mer. We would go in the afternoon then walk into the town for Chi Chis ( like doughnuts shaped like curly chips- in a cone/punnet)
