We are planning our first family camping trip to France and its nearly time, thank god!!! We are going to Le Moulin Fort in the loire at the and of July. Has anyone got any info on the site or the area. In fact any tips for the trip would be good. We are new to this!!

After that we are heading over to Camping Haliotis near Le Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy. Any Info would be nice.

Thanks

Thanks mate.

The campsite is near Francueil which is on the river Cher. I hope its a good place to chill.

Hi Daz, welcome to UKCS. If you want info on the Loire Valley, here's an interesting site for you to browse.

Hope this helps.

Thanks m8 , very helpfull.

Great. Its hard when you book over the web. Its good to hear from someone whose been there.

HI, this is another good website for the Loire Valley, www.lewebdu49.com

Also try the local papers and shop adds for vide-greniers(carboot sales!) and music festivals.These are usually held in small villages and are a great night out.

we went there , twice , on our trip last month , one night heading for Pong in the Vendee and 2 nights heading back to the ferry.

this is an excellent site , huge pitches , go site yourself then sort it with reception later , lovely bar and pool area and a great atmosphere with lots of different nationalities mixed together.

When we turned up at the end of our hols it was like meeting old friends , the owner rushed out of reception and in excellent English , "you return to us my friends" and shook my hand , recognised us straightaway.

decent supermarket within easy walking distance and they sell fuel as well and a 4 mile drive to mont st michel.

You will love it there , nice site run by very nice people.

enjoy.

 Looks like we made the right choice. All we need now is info on the Loire campsite Le Moulin Fort near Francueil.
