We're listening to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy at the moment - a very long listen, with three books!  Worth it, though!

We arrive at soleil plage on 20th august, cant wait!

Can you make sure the people on pitch 168 leave it nice and tidy lol.

You might be able to help me out captain blood. Do you know if they hire out tag along cycles for kids(the ones that attach onto the seat post of the adult bike). I need one for my 6 year old so all five of us can go on bike rides together. Im taking 4 bikes down .Dont really want to buy one and not sure if I can fit it in/on already overloaded car.

Whats the site like? Hope the good weather continues!

Not sure if there is a tag along cycle.Noticed there was a cart for 2 kids.The area is quite hilly out of the surrounding areas.Some of the roads are hilly and winding with no foot paths.An example of this is the road from Montford to Carsac.I cycled up it yesterday and there's no way i'd let my kids do is as its far too dangerous.Nearby there are some proper cycle routes which would be best to drive to.One is just  south of Sarlat.Leaflets for these are in the reception.

Weather has been red hot again today.We went on our first canoe trip ever today.Great for 1st timers like us.We did the nature one that takes about 2hrs.Lots of places to stop along the river for a picnic.

Most important for dads regarding pool at Soliel Plage swim shorts are allowed.

Robin,

Thanks for the info. I wondered what it would be like for cycling. Proper cycle paths for us then. I've found a hire company with tag on bikes. We fancy the canoe trip, sounds great. Would we be able to all go in one canoe? There are 5 of us kids aged 12,8,6. Good news on swim shorts. Funnily enough i've just bought a pair of trunks for myself and boys thinking shorts would'nt be allowed as is the norm in france.
