French pitches are usually quite generous however as CaddyClan says they get a bit smaller nearer the beach! I would say that on average they are at least 100sq mts.

We were in the Vendee last year at Le Pin -at Le PIn, I would say you would have no problem at all.

However, we looked around a few of the sites on the coast (Le Pin is 15 minutes inland) and some of the pitch sizes we thought were tiny - some were only just big enough to get our caravan on, never mind an awning or car! We didn't wander round the whole of each site so maybe pitches further away from reception were bigger but we decided never to try one of those coastal sites for that reason.

Most of the sites we've booked with have asked for our tent dimensions in order to provide a suitable pitch.

Pitches in the south do tend to be smaller in my experience though. The last site we stayed at we had a biggish pitch but it was long and narrow. As has been said, find a site you like and ask on here or email the site to ask.
