Sounds like a winning combination of places.

We usually do two sites, but we were so in love with Provence we stayed for the duration of the holiday.

This year is supposed to be the Dordogne and the Aquitaine coast near Lacanau..

Our first camping trip to France was many years ago now, you will not be disappointed.

Not sure if you are aware but independant camping shops are few and far between, there is a monopoly by Decathlon...amazing shop, checkout the locations

This will be our first year camping in France, although we've been many times previously.

Absolutely love the place, and really looking forward to our two centre holiday this year: Les Deux Alpes and the Ardeche :)

In recent years Decathlon has been a pleasure rather than despiration to replace and airbed. We bought the Decathlon 'super bed' in 2013 it is fantastic, I can even have less air in my side as its two beds inserted into a cover, with a duvet type thing over the top. I can't actullay find them on their website, so like many other items they try, these may have been discontinued. At 120 euros it wa a bit steep.

I know I am digressing, but did you see their infalatable tent.......crazy money 600 euros, and thenh there were all the extras you had to buy to make it workable.

They have now discontined the seconds base's which we have and love all together.. We bought the one with  the bedroom, then the basic version in black and beige. Great combo, very versatile and lots of room. I just can't understand why they do this. The seconds base is now really popular in the UK, our local archery club have them as standard day shelters at their events..madness
