Too skint to go anywhere this year, so taking advantage of a day off to start researching for next year.

Looking at La Garangeoire, I noticed that they do premium pitches, which include table, chairs, barbecue and a fridge, which would making loading the car a bit simpler, but thought it a bit pricey at 80 euros a night. Does anyone know of any other, similarly good sites that do similar deals, but cheaper!?

Sounds expensive. How much more is that price above the normal pitch price ?

But we've come across several of the larger sites who hire out fridges quite cheaply, other sites  with communal freezers, and brick built communal barbecues too , though disposal barbecues are cheap enough to buy. Hiring tables and chairs I don't know about, but someone else will. I think you can cut costs on this one.

People really pay 68 euros a night for a normal pitch there?  Good heavens. I'm astonished.

A friend used to take a new set of plastic table and chairs on holiday every year - from the stock in his shop - and sell it to someone else on site before he came home!

Yep, 3 large children, age 11 to 17, hence desire to reduce packing!

Still it's really pricey, 560 euros a week. Sorry there's no way i would pay that, I begrudge paying 35ish at Bien assise for 1 night pre/post ferry

Spot on Jaymac. That one looks good,

I never understood the flood pouring into Bien Assise and Gandspette, blindly ignoring all alternatives.
