Smiley, My understanding is if its a petrol ST ie the ST220 then this is not suitable for towing if it is the diesel ST TDCi then I have towed with this car and it was an excellent towcar, plenty of power and torque. Low profile tyres aren't great but never caused me any problems Regards...

Sam, Sorry for not repsponding sooner to your post but we have been to Les Brunelles twice in the last three years. We have been the last week in June and 1st week in July as they accept camping cheques which really does make the campsite a bargain. I can highly recommend the site both for...

Sorry posted this as a reply to Steve's comment instead as a reply to the topic I would agree with Steve W, very nice site but one of the most expensive I have ever stayed on. Cost me an extra _31 euro's on top of two camping cheques for a two night stay, had to pay for two kids aged 3 and 2...

I would agree with Steve W, very nice site but one of the most expensive I have ever stayed on. Cost me an extra _31 euro's on top of two camping cheques for a two night stay, had to pay for two kids aged 3 and 2 and the extra for the armbands inc for the children Cheers Rich

Sam, We have been to Les Brunelles for the past two years always the last week in June 1st week in July using Camping Cheques. If you can do this then it works out at about

We used this crossing in the middle of June and back 1st week in July. Couldn't fault it apart from the loading on the car deck on the way out very tight. Paid

Hello, You won't go far wrong with Chateau du Martragny. It is West of Caen near Bayeux and is ideally situated for all of the World War 2 sites in the area Website address is www.chateau-martragny.com Cheers Richard

Julian, We have just returned from 3 weeks in France and had our last two nights at Chateau Galinee near St Cast which is just over 15 miles West of St Malo. It is a Castels site so has all of the normal facilities including an excellent swimming pool area. There is no direct access to the...

Can anybody recommend a site within a hour of Birmingham which is open all year round and has good indoor facilites for two young children, ie indoor play area / indoor swimming pool. A Bar / Restaurant would be a bonus. We are looking for something similar to Sandy Balls in Hampshire which we...

I have a 56 plate 2.2.TDCi Mondeo Hatchback with 17" Alloy Wheels and caravan all year round. It came factory fitted with Michelin Pilots which I cannot recommend highly enough, good grip and the wear rate is the best I have experienced. I am fortunate it is a fully serviced company car so I...

Hello, I haven't been to this site since 2003 but can highly recommend it having also been there in the early 80's on three occassions. Excellent location and all of the facilities of a top class campsite. Various pitch sizes, the one we had was huge would have easily fitted two outfits plus...

Jeremy, We have a 2005 Lunar Chateau 400 which is obviously a slightly different layout to the one you are looking at, by chance we also bought it new from Highbridge in 2005 and upgraded from a folding camper. We also have two young children, age 3 and 18 months so the 400 layout was big...

Did the reverse of this journey back in 2004. From memory we used the D166 to Epinal and then the N66/E512 through to Mulhouse and then Basle, then the Autoroute to Interlaken. It is a hilly route before Mulhouse but no problem. Forge de la St Marie is a great site

Michael, I have just driven that route last weekend. I would go for the Lisieux option. The D579 is a good route only a few hills and bypasses Lisieux all the way to Gace where you can pick up the A28 again. The Pont Du Normandie is _5.80 (with caravan) for the toll and further _1 for the...

Paul, The actual campsite doesn't have a beach with direct access, just access to the boat moorings, it is about 10 mins by boat down the river to the beach or about the same time in a car I believe there is a nudist beach on the coast near St. Aygulf, I personally wouldn't let it worry you...
