Lovely site with great facilities and friendly staff

This was our second experience of a campsite in France, with kid’s aged 7 and 5. Another excellent site with great pool facilities and direct beach access. It’s a big site and it’s a bit of a trek to the beach but you can hire bikes if you haven’t brought your own; we didn’t as they were quite... expensive and the kids were old enough to walk it.
Huge clean sandy beach with life guard. We didn’t visit a lot because it was so exposed and the heatwave had begun (mid 30s).
Pool facilities were excellent, well staffed and maintained. 2 great shallow pools for kids with slides and then 2 other separate slide sections for older kids and adults. Really cool ‘big dipper’ slide as the kids called it, that was like a high half pipe, great fun if slightly terrifying (in a good way).
Shops and snack bars etc were great. Reasonably priced on site shop that’s well kitted out but there’s an ALDI just up the road for a cheaper option. Nearest big Carrefour is about 30 mins away and an excellent L’Clerc in Lespere, same distance. Staff throughout the site are excellent. Really warm and friendly and always a Bonjour when they pass you on the paths. The entertainment team seemed to be having a great time and added great atmosphere to the pool entertainment and aerobics in the afternoons.
The cabin was good (we were glad of the AC), pretty standard and a decent bit of covered decking. We had booked a ‘Mobile Home Cosy 4/6 persons 2 Bedrooms withA/C’ for reference.
We were happy to be located away from the evening entertainment/shops so it was quieter, about 5 mins walk. Beach was a further 10ish mins from there.
The ‘commerce’ area of shops and eateries is great as it has central seating so everyone can order something different. Two particularly good things on this site were the wine bar/shop, separate to the restaurant and the takeaway system. Excellent wines and prices with a nice meats/cheeses menu. The takeaway place gave you a pager so you didn’t have to hang around after ordering and could go to the next place or playground while waiting. Great quality food - posh chicken nuggets and pizza etc.
I’d highly recommend the site and the staff especially made it. I think the only thing that could have improved it was more sun loungers at the pool, but we did always manage to get one eventually.
The nearby town of Montalivet is great with an excellent market and lovely cafés and restaurants. It has a real beach town vibe and prices to match but the market is great value and a lovely way to taste local wines and seafood. Some other small towns worth a visit and not far from the ferry to Royan for a lot more attractions and a bigger town/city (save a fortune and just travel as pedestrians!).
And remember to go out at night and look at the stars - almost zero light pollution, amazing! You forget that when you live in the city!
