tranquil and relaxing place to get away from it all

When we first arrived on the site we weren't sure that our choice for our week in France this year was the right one, how wrong could we have been. After a nights sleep and a look round the site we started to realise how easy it would be to miss the point of this campsite.
This is genuine, rural and... rustic France where not many people speak English and they probably don't get a lot of English speaking tourists. Communication was carried out through our basic rusty French, gestures and facial expression bit we never had a problem getting by or being understood (eventually) and in no way did the language barrier pose any issues at all.
Set in a woodland environment this is not touristy France this is relaxing, tranquil and natural France where the sun breaks though the trees and birdsong fills the air. If you take the time to understand and embrace it you will be rewarded with an experience that is chilled and relaxed without hassle and any pressures where you can escape, wind down and recharge.
The Staff are helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome.
If you come here expecting to find clipped hedges and manicured grass areas, where the staff speak good English and with lots of other tourists from the UK here where its lively with an arcade or disco or club, where there is plenty to keep children occupied then you are surely missing the point of this site and have perhaps made the wrong choice.
There is a small restaurant and bar on site and supermarkets a short drive away
This is not a 5 star site I wouldn't claim it is, yes some of the signs could be better, yes some of the grass areas are overgrown but what it IS, is a place to get away from the commercial hustle and bustle of some of the typical campsites in Europe. This is peaceful, tranquil, quiet, relaxing blah blah etc etc if you want that then this is where you can find it.
It's refreshing and good for the soul.
We had a great week here taking things at a slow pace doing what we wanted without watching the clock. We feel all the better for it, de-stressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site or come here again.
If you are thinking of coming here make sure you know what to expect otherwise you might miss the whole point and that would be a real shame.
