When our children were younger we went to Camping Du Letty in Benodet for a number of consecutive years - the kids didn't want to go anywhere else!! When the children "flew the nest" we tried other destinations for our Summer hols for a number of years. Last year we thought we would try out Du Letty again after a break of 8 years. We really enjoyed returning to Du Letty in 2011, especially as they had just opened their superb new water park and so we decided to return next summer.
We had hoped to get a pitch right on the beach but for 2012 Du Letty have changed their terms making the pitches on the edge of the beach "Premium" pitches at Premium prices, ie, twice the cost of the standard pitches. In addition they now require a non-refundable 30% deposit and 12€ booking fee to secure a booking.
We were, however, still keen to return, and after an exchange of emails, have managed to book a pitch in "Les Mouettes", Bay 7, which is one of the bays leading down to the beach, for 28 days from late July to late August. Du Letty now have an online booking system which accepts credit cards, so making the booking and paying the deposit and booking fee relatively easy. The total cost of our stay is 1055,20€, which at current exchange rates (£0.86/€) works out at £32.41/nt. This isn't too bad for a pitch near the beach on this lovely site.
The Du Letty website is very good giving online estimates if you input the details of your proposed stay but I did find a few errors. Christine Guyader-Benois, one of the bosses, advised me that they are still sorting out a few minor problems with their online booking system.
We've gone from not booking at all to booking 8 months in advance!!!??
We must be getting old!!! We're VERY excited about our holiday - something to keep us warm thinking about it on those cold winter nights!!!

We just love the Mediterranean climate, and those +40Deg temps, that you get in July, as for Sunshine, I have been going since 1962!, and we have never had rain, and that's the honest truth.
I have done Northern France in the past, during August, but the weather for us was not good.
Also my take is, if you have gone to the trouble of crossing the channel, you might as well head as far South as you can, even if it does take a couple of days, the journey then becomes part of the holiday.
I can't put my finger on it, but once we pass Lyon, on our way South, it's as though someone has flicked a switch, and the climate is transformed, to an almost tropical feeling.
Like all things it's each to thier own, and I am sure that there are plenty of folk who are the oppasit to us, and prefer Northern France.
