Hi folks
Well after much deliberation I think we are going to go for one of these 2. Both have large full service pitches available to us, both are close to the beach and both have a town area to walk into which is on our checklist. We have 2 kids 8 and 5 and a dog.
Whilst I know dogs on the beach is not allowed interestingly the reception at du Letty said when the weather is grey or the beach is not busy (morning/evening) you can take your dog on the beach without too much trouble - quote... not sure about this but if it works out will treat it as a bonus.
Anyone got an opinion one which to plump for? Benodet and Carnac both seem similar holiday towns.
Thanks
Duncan

Having been to both towns - although not stayed at Du Letty - my personal preference is for Carnac Plage - a greater choice of restaurants and shops etc in the town centre. Carnac always seems to have a better "sun count" being that bit closer to the Vendee. On the counter Du Letty is far more orientated towards the tourers whereas in Les Menhirs there is a much greater proportion of Statics and Tents.

I did wonder about the weather factor between the two so thanks for that input. Welcome any other comments

Carnac is gorgeous and in my opinion much nicer than Benodet. If you arent taken with Les Menhirs have a look at Grande Metarie which may be better for teens.
Carnac is great for evenings out, nice creperies etc
The beach is fab

We took the dog to Du Letty on our first visit and had no bother with him on the beach. In fact i was not aware you could not take dogs on the beach..............
