Two stopovers
We used Le Colombier as our stopover point between Calais and the Pays de Loire Atlantique. It is a very quiet site with lots of facilities for families young and old alike. Our stay was for three nights on each occasion and we had electric and water hook-ups. The pitch size is excellent with plenty of room for our outfit. There has been a change in policy in the two weeks between our visits and bread and pastries can no longer be ordered for the next day. The manager guesstimates what is needed. This morning there were no pain au chocolate left, only two pain au raisin but lots of croissants, baguettes and pain traditionelle; my visit to the shop was not a late one. We enjoyed a meal at the Creperie last night and the lady there was very helpful and friendly even bringing a bowl of water for our dog. Unfortunately we could not book a table at the restaurant and was told our 4.30 pm arrival was too late to book. It was suggested that on another occasion we should call ahead to book, use the Creperie or a local restaurant. We would use this site again. Our only concern is the route to the site after Thiberville as the roads are quite narrow and locals do not slow down in the main.
