We’ve put together below, a list of our favourite top ten beach holiday campsites in France because we know that one of the first things most families look for when booking a camping holiday to France is the distance to a good quality beach. Most peoples first thought when you mention a beach holiday in France is one of the many quality campsites located in the south of France.
Being parents we know the importance of keeping our children protected from the suns harmful rays. Sunburn in children can almost double the chances of them getting skin cancer when they’re older and around 50% of our total lifetime sunlight exposure occurs in childhood. Babies can burn in only a few minutes with older children suffering the effects of sunburn in under 10 minutes.
European Breakdown Cover is a policy taken out to cover you in the event that your vehicle develops a fault and breaks down whilst travelling abroad. Policies vary from company to company but in a nutshell, should your vehicle breakdown whilst abroad your policy will generally ensure your vehicle is fixed at the roadside or towed to the nearest garage where it can be fixed.
Carnac is a small town located in the Morbihan department of Brittany on it’s southern coastline. It’s believed that the name Carnac may come from the Celtic word “Cairn or Carn” which means a mound of stones erected as a marker or memorial. The Standing Stones at Carnac are truly remarkable and date back to the prehistoric age.
One thing you notice when you go camping in France is the number and quality of children’s play areas and play parks they have. Although UK towns, cities and villages generally have a number of play parks, they tend to be either small or filled with old, rusty or inadequate equipment. Our local play park is of a reasonable size but has not had any new equipment for many years.
We looked at the weather forecast for St Jean Day Monts and were greeted by the prospect of rain for only the second time during our family holiday in France. With three boys to entertain we decided to leave the campsite in search of something to see and do. The first place we visited was the Chateau at Noirmoutier-en-l’ile, just to the north of the campsite.
