France Ferry & Campsite info (use Search function) mod warning post 1

Yes of course, forgot about Ile de Re. We took a spin across the bridge but not too far beyond that.

This sounds like good advice, thank you

Not this year anyway. We were in the market the other day and it was all seemingly French people, as is our campsite. That could change next weekend though when the English schools close.

There are a good few places just where the ferry port is loverly little cafe Perry Street and there is a shop there

What the hell is the advantage of the food pass? You're paying €48 to get €48 worth of food. Like just pay for it at the time.

Or am I missing something very obvious.

Bilbao only 2 hrs from excellent campsites in Biarritz area

Congrats to the idiots who burnt out the motor on the microwave in the seating area on the Galicia on Thursday.

any advice on where to see the all ireland in St jean des mont tomo?

After doing 2 weeks in France earlier this summer, I'm just after rebooking for next year.

This year was our first time camping, and took the ferry from Cork. It lived up to all my expectations.

This year, we stayed in Le Littoral for the entire trip. Next year, we are splitting it across two campsites.

Our main reasons for doing this, is that I felt by day 11 or 12, the kids were getting a tiny bit bored of the repetitiveness. It was basically the same mini disco every night, and they had had their fill of the slides by the end.

Also, the second campsite is about 45minutes further north than Le Littoral. Weather might be a tiny bit cooler, but it's a little closer to Roscoff.

Also, I found Le Littoral brilliant for young kids (younger than 9), but there were groups of teenagers, who seemed a little bored, and getting restless. My kids wont be young forever, so happy to see what other campsites offer for when the kids get older

We brought two bikes with us this year for the first time but will definitely bring four with us next year. There's loads of cycle paths around La Palmyre which opens up the possibility of cycling day trips which definitely eat up the time (and also wear them out!).

Just returned from a 3 week trip to Vendée.

Drove my 16 Rav4 with roof box on top, left plenty of bootspace for wine and we also bought a bike for our son while we were there which fit in too.

2 full weeks in camping le Jard in La Tranche sur Mer. Excellent site. Great facilities and ideal for us with a 2 and 4 year old. Very fresh, seems to have undergone a big revamp in the last few years.

Stayed in Domaine des Ormes near St Malo for a few nights on the way back. Very outdoors oriented but very good. Huge indoor pool dome complex was excellent.

Arrived home to a 45 euro speeding fine from Normandie, which I got for 99km/h in a 90. No complaints, but was surprised they had the access to the records. Just beware
