At the moment there are about 15 vans booked on the C.C First timers Abroad holiday and we are not a rally so we should not interfere very much with the rest of the campsite. We have a welcome drink on 9th June and a meal in the restaurant on 15th but apart from that and a day out at Arromanches etc. every one will be on their own except if they want us to help them with a problem. The site seems plenty big for all of us but Frogman should be along soon as he is the expert about the site and he can even give you really good directions.
As I said earlier if you decide to go there please come and introduce yourselves. Listen for the Northern Ireland accent!!!

Here's the bad penny back. The CC lot are usually a quiet bunch, and at that time you are out of the school hols so mainly the clientele are retired hooligans. Like Marz says, the site is a large area, and if you "want to be alone" there will be pitches available to choose from when you arrive. If they all go for a meal one night, then i would give the resto a swerve on that night, but they do take - aways anyway if you were stuck. Otherwise, I doubt you would know anything was going on.
Always difficult to know what someone else likes, but certainly Le B is one of the lesser commercial sites, if you like that sort of thing. The scenery is as the web photos, the new toilet block has "baby rooms" which can be a bonus. There is a handy kids pool which is totally toddler and Mum friendly.
Don't know how adventurous you are, but I did know that Allengenealogy were stewarding, and the site owners have a toddler around 2 yrs .If you needed anything you would only have to ask. Over the years , I have had GP and dentistry services much better than any we have in UK.--Not essential, but nice to know it exists. We have been going for many years, and have brought our grandkids up there from 6 mths on, and we are still going back , so it can't be that bad
Just one of many sites in the area, and as they say " There are other providers available"
I am pretty sold on this site, based on the fact that it was our favourite to start with (it looks very natural) and you have confirmed it. However, I just looked at booking (not previously worried about this as I was under the impression it would not be an issue at this time of year) to find out it seems to be full!! Just over the weekend 13th-16th. I wonder if they are reserving the space for CC event?
Checked availability for a week when you want it. Works out about 128 euros, more if you want electric. Have tried e-mailing site myself but can't get reply. Frogman told me to phone. Owners speak English Raph speaks better English than his wife.
Thanks so much. Have sent them an email in my best french, accents and the lot. They are probably chuckling at it right now but hopefully will appreciate our effort
at FM14 I had the need to visit the Doctor's "Cabinet" in the next village once - no queue, no appointment. The Medicin was a really good guy - cost €20. Bit different from the system I work in over here....

sorry,but im not saying where we go cos its our little hideaway less than 10 miles from the tunnel.not many pitches but lovely and quiet and a reasonable price with some stunning scenery and good beaches within a short drive from the site.
We are away for the weekend in darkest Yorks but if you do want to contact Le B, I'm afraid they are notoriously bad at returning e - mails even though they do read them. I have looked at the booking forms and like Marz has said, the only fulls are the serviced pitches (grand comfort), and there are only 2 of those anyway, so there are no flups otherwise, no doubt sign of the times, but good if you are going and like peace and quiet. Virtually all pitches have electrics. As I predicted earlier, you will be able to make a choice when you arrive, although obviously restricted. If you have preferences eg if you look at the web photos, photo 9/23 the blue tent is on pitch P1 right next to the kiddies pool, 10/23 the blue tent is on P2 top of the hill with the best views, evening sun, and a direct line to the wc's. If size matters, V14 or 15 are massive. Even if you ask for a pitch, out of season you could swop when you arrive if you preferred elsewhere.
If you did want try for a particular pitch, best to give them a ring at around 6/7 pm our time as they will be working on site during the day -------theoretically., and don't worry about using French, Raph and his partner Jess speak English ( see photo 21/23-------- when they were young Ah bless !)
Mrs FM and the doc are on first name terms.Not sure that's a good thing, he is quite young , good looking, and has a wicked accent, it certainly brings on her hypocondria.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
