Camping in France
On arrival in Roscoff we had a two hour drive down to Carnac, I was a little nervous as I had never driven on the right hand side before but I am glad to say my concern was unfounded as the drive was a very enjoyable one and very well signposted.
We stayed at Le Grand Metairie campsite in Carnac in a 2 bed Holiday Home which sleeps up to six, the holiday home comprised of two bedrooms, Lounge / Dining area and Wooden deck. Kitchen was very well equipped with hob, microwave and fridge freezer and a gas barbecue out on deck for glorious al fresco dining.
On site you could do as much or as little as you like, with a huge variety of amenities to keep the children happy such as swimming, pony rides, playgrounds, tennis, bike hire to name a few. My daughter joined the Busy Bees Club which was on for two hours in the morning and she had a blast and made plenty of new friends and the adults were happy too as the saying goes “when the children are happy the parents are happy”.
Dining was a mixture of onsite dining, sampling the local restaurants in the nearby town of Carnac and barbecue on deck, there is a local shop on site or for more variety a big Super U supermarket was about 5 minutes drive away.
Having the car at hand was the greatest pleasure as we took a couple of days out to explore the local area, we didn't have far to go as 3000 Pre historic standing stones were located at the resort entrance. Whether it’s the beach, markets, medieval towns or fishing ports you can have it all within a short drive.
The feeling of tranquillity, cleanliness, plenty of entertainment on site and the freedom to enjoy the surrounding area made this family holiday very enjoyable and one that I would not hesitate in repeating.
