Benodet beach just 1km. from the site is a very large white sand bay. Never crowded and perfect for the younger children. Benodet prom has a multitude of eating places an gift shops for all budgets. The coast line has so many beautiful and attractive beaches and towns for 25 miles in both directions and a road system which make it so easy to reach them, that you would have to stay for months to see them all.
As well as campsite shops to sell neccessities such as fresh bread, milk, etc you have large well stocked supermakets for almost everything else within easy walking distance of both sites.
We have many choices of activities on and off site. These range from the above ground tree adventure to swimming and boules The campsites are ideally situated for cycling, fishing, walking, horse riding, water activities and much much more.Please ask us for details. Places of interest include the many nearby towns and villages with their mediaeval architecture and squares. Many beautiful botanical gardens open to the public. Museums and Oceanography centres, some with interactive exhibitions and nearly all with participation rooms for the younger ones to get involved.

You are free to arrange your own ferry crossings. However, we have an arrangement with Brittany Ferries which enables all our clients who confirm a holiday booking with us to get a minimum of 20% discount on Brittany Ferries crossing from the U.K. and Ireland, (Cork to Roscoff)
On our "links" page we have links to airlines that serve Brittany from U.K. and Ireland together with a very useful link to a car hire web page which will give you price comparisons to all the car hire firms operating from your chosen airport of arrival. We can also arrange linen for your stay at a very reasonable cost. Please just ask.
All you would normally have to bring would be Bottom sheets, Duvet covers, Pillow cases and towels. A couple of tea towels also would be handy! Also, EUROPEAN socket adaptors. Get them at the ferry port, or on the ferry, or airport. They are difficult to find in France.
We strongly advise you to take out both health and car cover. Shop around to find the best family deal.(Tescos, Sainsburys,Norwich Union etc.) Ask what you are NOT covered for health wise.(think kids playing games on the beach etc.. think grown ups joining in activities. Think being flown home.).....Please... just ask the question. The insurance company has to tell you! Your NHS European Health Insurance Card might not be enough.(www.dh.gov.uk/travellers) Check with your car insurance co. do you have foreign accident and breakdown cover and to what level.
French roads are good to drive on. Apart from the major cities you hardly ever see a traffic jam. Just take your time and plan your Route. Carry a map.

Observe the same highway laws as in Britain and Ireland and you will be okay. There are a few MUSTS: You MUST carry a REFLECTIVE JACKET in case of accident or breakdown. You MUST have a RED TRIANGLE in case of above You MUST switch on your HAZARD warning lights again in case of above. You MUST have headlight deflectors on righthand drive cars. Get them on the ferry or at the port. Always carry identity/and insurance documents with you.
