We stay at a campsite on the coast – Camping du Letty (? not sure about the du / de / whether they’ve got a website). Likewise great for the kids though they need to make their own entertainment – there are better campsites like Point Saint Giles up the road if you want the swimming pool / kids club.
My three siblings and I pretty much ran riot from the age of about two onwards when my parent starting caravaning in Brittany. They / we’ve been going nearly every year since so we know the owners almost like family. It’s lovely, can’t wait. Two weeks of doing nothing but messing about on the beach and rock-pooling with my kids, nieces and nephews – hope to get in some cycle rides, snorkelling, spear fishing and a few trips into Benodet of an evening with my wife. Lots of seafood, decent wine.
Pure bliss.
They’ve a new ferry doing the Roscoff route too – it’s the maiden season so we’ve splashed out on a decent cabin for the overnight. Not cheap though (we’ve decided to do the journey in the UK from Sussex down to Devon rather than the longer trip in France)
Brittany is good if you are have a young family or are really old. Pretty dull otherwise IMO.
I don’t know – there’s was / is a sailing school just up the road from the campsite as well as a profusion of rather enlightened German and Dutch girls that made my brothers and I very happy during our teenage years. Agreed that it’s perfect if you’ve got young kids though – our two girls will be running feral within 2 days.
Whats the weather like in mid July? Is it more or less the same as Cornwall?
Pretty much spot on. We’ve had scorching years and not-so-scorching years but generally it’s good. We’re there until mid-July and are expecting it to be alright. As long as it doesn’t pee it down for 2 weeks I’ll be happy.
