Guines, La Bien Assise
This story happened on: 09/06/2012
Hi Just returned from a week at Guines, La Bien Assise, a site I have visited many times in the past, however I had not been there for 8 years and was caught out with the new roundabout & entrance. For those who have not been for a few years they have built a roundabout and put the entrance on the roundabout, I actually sailed on through heading for the old entrance only to find it is closed up. I had to then drive out the road where I did locate a lay bye that enabled me to turn around. It’ still a good site and in fact I feel the grounds have matured well since my visits many years ago. The washrooms could do with an upgrade but they are clean and things work. I can’t fault the pitches which are huge. I do however feel that the actual town has gone downhill and could do with some investment and a makeover we used to walk around it at night but this time it just did not feel right. We viewed other towns in the area and found them much more pleasing to the eye with decent foot paths and flowered areas but Guines seems to have been let go a bit. I did like the fact that there is a new Carrefour just outside the town which is very useful especially given the fact that it also sells fuel.
