Many thanks for all your comments - it really does seem to be a mixed bag! Just a couple of questions,

Tony, is there any shade at all on your favourite pitches?

and

Pennine Plodder, how does the weather in the Loire rate against that in the Vendee?

Many thanks,

Susie

Tony is quite right - the pitches quoted are 'the best' - but no shade - there are pitches on the site which have limited shade.  You can contact the site directly and ask.  We too have a pitch which we prefer and we book each year while there.  we do have an awning and a day tent though and shade is not an issue.  There is a tree lined walk between the parts of the site and these offer shade at times during the day.

We were there at the end of August and thought it was a good site, as others have said helpful efficient people running it and excellent on site facilities. We were quite near the entrance and route from the bar so there was some noise from people making their way back to their pitches, the fact that it only happened at 'closing time' and was quiet up til then probably made it seem noisier than it was. I'd happily go back again.

Only draw back was having to drive to a local town, I prefer a site on the edge of town (like Les Ecureuils at Jard).

The only pitches that seemed to have any shade were next to the main toilet block and as it is a very open site then you really have to take your own shade.   We will be going to France again this year and will either be staying at Pin Parasol or here in the Dordogne valley   http://www.belombrage.com/gb/camping.htm which has caught my eye.
