Hi there,

We have a trip to Chalain planned for this August and having read many many reviews I have a couple of questions...

The first is regarding loos.. I read somewhere that none of the toilets have seats?  Am wondering if anyone out there has been to this site with small children and how they managed to sit on the loo without a seat?  Is it worth taking some disposable seat liners or not?  Silly question maybe but am starting to fret about it a little!

The second question is about swimming trunks in the main pool area - are only speedo-type shorts allowed and not bermuda-style ones?

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Its quite common on french sites for the loos to have no plastic or wooden seats. Easier to keep clean I guess. If you have little ones then one of those seats you use when potty training might be the answer. Speedos in site pools is also the norm in almost every site in France. Bermudas ore banned for hygeine reasons and very few sites make exceptions to this.

The no seat & also no bog paper(ie bring your own)thing on busy campsites it to allow the toilet area to be cleaned with hose pipes, often 2-3 times a day which at least keeps them clean. The seatless pans are often purpose built with a thick rim so you can sit on them & often there is a mini loo for little ones.

The pool rules just mean proper swimming trunks(ie not neccessarily mini speedos)have to be worn to stop people jumping in with dirty shorts they have worn all day.
