please can you tell me if the pitches are seperated by hedges ,and are they big enough to accomadate a twin wheel with awning.we are looking for a site in this area and we like sites that have the pools etc to keep the kids happy but not to big and commercial we also have a large twin wheel and like a large hedged pitch and clean sanitry facilitys.we also take a kayak with us so the river would be good ,is it a fast flowing river,any more info appreciatedClive, we were there in May/June this year, for the second time. It's a very pleasant site, right on the River Tarn (lovely for canoeing, straight from the site). The pitches are a very good size, although some are quite difficult to access. The riverside pitches are lovely - watch kingfishers right outside your pitch! The toilet blocks are kept very clean (check out the two-storey block). There is a smallish pool with slide, a smallish restaurant, with limited menu (have to say we weren't impressed but others were). There's a small bar (friendly and very pleasant - with quiz nights which are great fun). The owner/managers are lovely friendly people (she remembered us last year from only a two night stop a couple of years before). Bread on site is the best we've eaten (if you like it well done and crunchy) - the taste is superb. The patisserie in Meyrueis and in Riviere sur Tarn do the best fruit tarts and quiches in France (and I've sampled a few!!!!).
Vultures fly overhead in the thermals, and lots to see and do in the area - highly recommended. Would go again.
Hi ValJames - the route we'd normally use is Calais to Senlis on the A1 autoroute (gets the first bit out of the way quickly - and we stay overnight on an aire - but if you don't want to do this then Chateau de Gandspette is a good overnight stop just off the autoroute at Eperleques), then off the autoroute cross-country to Ermenonville, then back towards Paris on the (was) N2 - then skirt around south-east of Paris on the Francilienne (was the E/N104) - lovely route. At the Evry junction we take a short hop on the A6 down to Nemours, then the N7/A77 through Nevers/Moulins, and the N9 down towards Vichy, where we head to Gannat, and on to the A75. We have an overnight stop just around Clermont Ferrand. This free autoroute is spectacular and takes us right down to just north of Millau where we come off at Aguessac, then over the bridge and left to Le Peupliers! A lot of this route is toll-free - and we've done it so many times we even know where the best patisseries are on the way down - how sad is that!
When I mentioned the Rouen route I forgot we were heading towards the Dordogne to see friends, so much further 'east' - however you can do that way - Boulogne/Rouen/Evreux/Chartes/Orleans/Clermont Ferrand/ - if you don't mind more tolls.
