Hi,
We are quite near you. I would go for Portsmouth or is it Poole to Cherborg and then drive into Brittany or Vendee. Can all be done in a day easily and an early exit from the ferry will mean quite kids for the majority of the mornings drive. There are some nice municiple sites along the way if you need and over night stop.
I have done the Plymouth -Roscoff route which is great for getting into Brittany, but we are better placed for Portsmouth routes.
Don't worry about an indoor pool as the weather will be lovely. There are lots of beaches and interesting places from Quimper down the coast to La Rochelle and beyond. Obviously the temperature gets cranked up alot from La Rochelle down.
Have you considered a campsite next to a lake instead of a beach, they are really impressive too?
We have also done night driving for long distances as the traffic just dissapears and you can cover an awful lot of ground on empty roads with sleeping kids, you just miss the scenery.

Just another thought - if you want to bring costs down then think about going the last two weeks in August, rather than late July/early August. Some campsites bring their prices down, and you can make quite a saving. You could also take advantage of Camping Cheques at sites such as Val de Trie, in Picardie - which takes Camping Cheques from the 17th August. This would mean that a pitch for two adults, car and caravan, awning and electricity would cost just £13.95 per night, and the sites accepts 11 Camping Cheques for 14 nights. The normal site price for 17th August would be 25.80 euros - so you're saving 10 euros per night. There are supplements for the children, but you'd pay these if you were paying the normal site tariff. It has a covered pool, and is about 10 kilometres from the beach. It also has a park on site with petting animals, and you can watch the cows being milked (according to the information page about the site!).
There are several other Camping Cheque sites within a day's driving of Calais or Dunkerque, including Le Grand Large, mentioned above - which accepts Camping Cheques from 22nd August.
