Hi, we are going to DLP at easter and would like a campsite with an indoor pool (due to weather probably not being too good) - we will be in our motorhome btw.

Thanks

I think you'll find that the only one is La Croix du Vieux Pont, which is about forty minutes away.  I had the same dilemma looking for somewhere for my son, for early May.  However, it does take Camping Cheques (www.campingcheque.co.uk) £13.95 per night, two people, car and caravan, or tent or motorhome, awning and electricity,  or the ACSI Card at 16 euros.for the same package.  However, I would check when the indoor pool actually opens.  Strangely sites in France have a very short 'full facilities' season, and even if they have an indoor poo doesn't mean it will be open.

yeah, have seen this one in the ACSI book, the pool isn't indoor I think its just covered, but suppose thats better than an outdoor one, don't know what camping cheques are!! we have the ACSI book & Card though, we don't need it to be particulary close to DLP as we will only be using it for the 2 days we are not in DLP.
thanks

Sorry, that's me getting mixed up to.  La Croix du Vieux Pont takes Touring Cheques as well as Camping Cheques - but unfortunately not ACSI!

Have a look on the Camping Cheques website www.campingcheque.co.uk!  Vouchers (or electronic download on to a card) which cost £13.95 per night which covers the cost of a pitch for two people, car and caravan (or motorhome or tent), awning, electricity and one dog.  Like ACSI some sites have special offers, such as 7 nights for the price of 6, 14 nights for 11, and so on.  The disadvantage over ACSI (certainly with paper cheques) is that you have to buy them in advance.  The electronic ones can be downloaded at any time.

They are valid for two years, and around 700 sites throughout Europe.  Some people book their ferry crossings as a package with Camping Cheques because it makes it cheaper (both from Camping Cheques themselves, or from the Caravan Club) and sometimes people sell Camping Cheques they can't use themselves, on forums such as this one.

You can have a look at the sites offered by Camping Cheques at http://alanrogers.com/guides/e-guides/cc-directory - either look on-line or download it to your own computer.

Hi the indoor pool will definitely be open. Last year we actually swam in the outdoor pools as the weather in France was glorious in April! I would definitely send an email and arrange a booking as it's the easter school holidays and the site does get busy. We are going this year for our 12th Easter, we love it there!

La Croix du Vieux Pont definitely take camping cheques,We used them there last year.May I also say that the swimming pool is totally enclosed when the roof is fully closed.and is usually only opened when the sun shines and it is warm enough to leave it open all day.

does anyone know anywhere else with an indoor/covered pool near to paris, preferably south of paris as La Croix is about 1hr 20 mins north of disney and we have to drive back that way when we go home the next day, so to drive 1 & 20 mins in the wrong direction seems a bit pointless.

Thanks
