Hi All

Wondered if anyone could suggest any sites in the Caen/ Le Mans area. We plan to stop for a few nights on the way to the coast(La Rochelle-ish).

Driving from Boulogne, so somewhere about 3hrs into the journey would be great.

Thanks

We stayed at Chateau Chanteloup (one of the Castels sites), overnight on the way down to La Tranche and again on the way back last August. The site is in the grounds of a beautiful Chateau. It has a bar and restaurant and a lovely pool. There is also a lake in the grounds. It is not far from Le Mans, and was for us a very convenient break in the journey.

I don't know if we can be of any help, our campsite is a little further down south but that makes your end drive shorter.

Happy Hol's

Thanks All

Didnt use any of the suggestions, but used a link from 'thehoniballs', for somewhere else.

Thanks La Touche, we were tempted.

Hi

My brothers had stayed at the Chateau Chanteloup (one of the Castels sites), on different occasions last year. The one 'thehoniballs', mentioned.  They were very pleased with it and the facilities and setting. Which had been recommended to them also.

Thanks again everyone. In the end ( after LOTS of research ), we went for castel camping, Le Brevedent, near Lisieux, for 4 nights, then onto Orangerie de Lanniron at Quimper for 6 nites.

The booking process has proved to be really efficient.

Just hoping the sites prove to be good. This is our 1st time camping abroad, so a bit apprehensive.

We stayed at Le Brevedent last year, and could happily recommend a stay there.
