Weekend Trip to Camping Le Thouet

Great big pitches and a warm welcome. Don't rely on the bar to provide food...they had nothing on our visit. Basic facilities but fantastic location and a nice pool too cool off after cycling and sightseeing

10 nights at Eden Villages Domaine de Bréhadour

Brilliant site, excellently ran. The pool, entertainment and bar/restaurant were better than expected. Would definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Camping Le Thouet

Very friendly staff- very welcoming- including the beautiful dogs . Pool looked lovely but it didn’t get warm enough to use it. Shower was great! We had the camping field to ourselves. Lovely walk along the river to the neighbouring village.
