I'm looking for a region/campsite to spend 10 days with the kids in late July.  We will have had 10 days in the Dordogne.  I'm happy for it to be a two day drive from the Dordogne, with a stop in the middle.

We need, a good pool complex with stuff for a 14 year old and a 10 year old.  I like some culture/history to see.  we enjoy very easy canoeing.  I like fairly easy access to supermarkets but this isn't a deal breaker! Sea is nice but not essential.

I don't want to do anything too hilly. and vertical drops freak me out a bit so I think the Tarn region is out!

Any ideas, oh wonderful, Kind people???

Helen - it is possible to see the Tarn Gorge from a flat road along the bottom - absolutely no vertical drops - and it does make spectacular viewing even without going up on high.

There are also loads of activities for kids - though some of those might involve heights, I suppose.  You can canoe there too - an entirely different experience to canoeing on the M25 of rivers, which is the Dordogne!  There are lots of sites, and our friends (teachers) have found pitches without problems in late July/early August.

Access to a supermarket - well there's a little 'market' shop in Riviere sur Tarn, and plenty of local shops, and then a choice of hypermarkets in Millau, with a great (not particularly touristy) market twice a week too.
