If you can't find a beach site, why not try a river beach? Tarn/Millau, Ardeche, Dordogne, Lot. I wish we had discovered riverside areas. Years ago when our children were young - often more scenic, interesting and easier to get a pitch in high season.

I'd agree with you Lizzie. Our first camping holiday in France was split between Le Paradis at St Leon sur Vezere, and a second week at a beachside site on the west coast. We enjoyed our first week much more, and so did our small son - and it set the tone for many more riverside holidays. Our second year was an inland site at Val de Cantobre, followed by a beach holiday at Camping de la Baie at Cavalaire on the Mediterranean where the water was so much more toddler friendly. Though it was more crowded around the Med than the west coast beaches, we've never been back to the west coast since, which tells you something.
My sons enjoyed their holidays, in the Ardeche, the Tarn, the Dourbie, the Verdon, and other river valleys so much that as adults, now with children, they sometimes go back to the same sort of sites we visited when they were small many years ago. They still like the west coast, but for the wild waves and surfing.......... and don't take their children there yet!
