big  busy  all singing dancing  plenty brits      if that's what you want

wnt there in the 80s when it was much much smaller and enjoyable (for us)

We are looking for a site for a caravan, two adults, two kids aged 12 and 7.  We def need Outdoor and indoor swimming pool.  We need some entertainment for the kids but we don't want them to be split into two diff age groups.  It would be great to have a shop on site and that is it really.  Also of course we need sunshine which I know isn't always guaranteed.  We heard that if we go down as far as the Loire area sunshine is nearly guaranteed.  We would be staying there for the first two weeks of July.  We are arriving at Dunkirk and we reckon about 300 miles would be enough to travel as we will be after driving through England from Pembroke prior to this. 

Thanks a mil Val

We were there in early May, in the mud bath. Facilities for touring units vary abit. The new sanitaire block will be exemplary and heated, however the ehu system is antediluvian. You would be advised to take an extension lead and it uses the old french fitting.

For the children it looked absolutely ideal , there were donkeys, bicycle carts, swimming pools etc. There is a little shop and a bar.  ( not our favourite holiday but we are boring old farts)

Nearby in Amboise is the Leonardo da Vinci museum which would satisfy the most truculent of teenager

Thanks for replies.  We only have two weeks from the time we leave Ireland to return to Ireland again.  We will stay in a couple of sites but hoping to take the longest part of the holiday in and around the Loire mainly the distance and the weather.  It is nice to know that there is people from our own land posting on this site. 

Ciarri where would you recommend and are ye travelling to France this year.

Thanks.
