A beautiful site
Have read the other recent reviews on this site and think the 'each to his own' approach best describes them. We have just returned from France, spending 10 days on the west coast and the last 4 days at the chateau. The entrance driveway is most inspiring and we thought we had done well with our choice of site. Check in was simple. The young lady at the desk was very helpful and offered to tell us about the site in French or English. We were given a very space pitch, in I think, the orchard area, with a mix of open and shady ground. We used the new toilet block and were very impressed with its cleanliness and the, always available, hot water. We felt that the shop had enough provisions to keep 'you going' and loved the availibity of fresh baguette etc every morning. There are several s
'supermarches' in Bayeaux about 15 minutes away. We didn't use the restaurant or bar so cannot comment on the service or food and own only 'gripe' would be that there was no visible menu or price list - this might have encouraged us to use it. There is a small, new looking, play area for children and I could imagine our grandson loving it, and also the outdoor pool. Both areas looked clean and well kept. Comparing the stated pitch fees with the Club prices, the Club offers good value for money. The site is quite expensive compared with some others in the area if you don't book through the Club. It is an excellent base to do the World War II tours. For peace and quite some pitches might be better than others but we didn't think it was a noisy site - children's laughter and enjoyment is not a bad thing after all. When there was a problem with another caravan tripping the electrics the problem was quickly dealt with by a very helpful young man who worked systematically to identify the cause and rectify the problem. All in all we loved the site and would happily use it again.
