Looking for an all singing and dancing site that will occupy teenagers for 3 weeks in Northern France please. Areas i can get to (disabled) are Champagne, Somme and lower Normandy. Does anyone know of a good site with great activities (including fishing) thanks.

La Croix du Vieux Pont at Berny Riviere in the Champagne/Ardennes region - it also has good disabled facilities in the toilet blocks if you need that.
It has everything teenagers want, a range of activities, indoor and outdoor pools, bar and restaurant, take-away, and also fishing in the river and in the lakes! Also coaches to Disney Paris, and to Paris itself.
Unfortunately the last few reviews seem to have had bad weather there - but that's the one disadvantage of holidays - you can never guarantee the weather!
L'etang des Haizes has a good pool with a slide. When we were there they organised football / archery etc. in the evenings. Lots of people fishing in the lake too.

We stayed at Le Paille Haute in the Somme area.
It has a fishing lake, which our kids used.
It has a small pool, but dont know what entertainment there would be, as we used it for three nights at the end of August and there was nothing on. It has a really good resturant. This was mainly to visit the Somme battlefields, etc. which it a very moving experience.
The site is close to the city of Arras.
It is also withing 2 hours drive of Calais.
It may not have enough on it for three weeks though.
Would love to go back to this area and spend longer.
The site recommended by Val A would be the one we would go for. Friends stayed there last summer, were very lucky and had really hot weather. They loved the site.

Yup agree - great site - we're going back there in June...
We were there in June last year and we had a heatwave! I guess we were lucky (it was hot in the UK as well) but one of their pools is covered, so even if it does rain, you can still swim.
