Hi all,

We are off to the Vendee at the end of August with our two children aged 3 and 5; and our old faithful Trailer Tent.

Can anyone recommend a site near the beach, access to cycle paths, a pool and not too noisy at night times.  Not worried about entertainment just decent value and nice and clean!!

Just returned from Camping Bel In La Tranche Sur Mer Southern Vendee, went for two weeks and we have a two and a half year old boy, this site is spot on for people with young children it is close to the beaches and town centre all of which are in walking distance...but take bikes if you can as there are lots of safe cycle tracks to use..if you cant take bikes you can hire them from a shop near the site, the site has two playgrounds, a nice pool and every night films are shown for young kids in a cinema next to the onsite bar...there are plenty of attractions to vistit in Vendee such as Zoo's and Aquariums, and theme parks etc, I cannot recomend this site and the Vendee enough.

Thanks for the help gonna have look see!

I've uploaded a picture of the very sexy conway we tour with, I believe it's from the late 70's!!!!!!!  Nearly as old as me (Older than the wife!!!)

Would love to hear any more suggestions.

Hi Jeff and Sharon. We cant thank you enough, we really enjoyed our stay at Bel. Yes it is still very clean and well run, the staff were all very helpful and their english was fantastic ( put me to shame so Im learning French for when we return).  The clown is still a great feature on a fri night, he walks around the site to collect the children.

Such a shame about your car, cant you demand a courtesy car due to a booked holiday unless they can sort it out very quickly? I used to work in insurance and would have honoured that for someone, especially if you will loose money if you dont have a car!!!!

Getting back to Bel, what a perfect location. We walked of cycled everywhere locally, and drove for days out. The pizzaria in town is wonderful too. I've come home raving about it so much so my sister in law wants to come with us next year.

Hope you get your car sorted, good luck. Let us know how your holiday goes.
