Great July Weather and extensive Beaches nearby.

We previously visited the Siblu site in Soulac ( near The Medoc ) when the company was owned by Haven(Europe): ownership has changed. Our two weeks in early July 2022 was during a heatwave : fortunately, I had booked a large Excellence Mobile Home, with Air Conditioning: this type of Mobile Home was... really excellent - spacious and well equipped and insulated, coping well with the 40C heat we experienced.
The Emplacement (77) was a disappointment, however: next to a "Communal BBQ", in use over extended Lunch and Dinner periods, with a small, scruffy patch for a pair of cheap, black sun loungers, also next to the BBQ. There seemed to be access to the site's sewage system next to the sunbathing area, too. "Luckily" the heatwave necessitated the closure of the Community BBQ for the second week!
Historically one was able to select a particular Emplacement on line: this facility seems to to have been dropped.
The number of Emplacements seems to have been increased, too. Certainly the site was busier, although still pretty quiet: the size of the Pool area and provision of seating there was under a good deal of pressure.
Positively the staff in the Bar area were cheerful and very helpful; the Pool was well supervised and the small shop was well run and welcoming first thing in the morning for the "Bread and Croissant Run". Reasonable confidence in French would be a benefit in July.
The Domaine de Soulac is some way from the Beaches: those "in town" could be reached by bike, but with a car miles of extensive surf beaches are available, some 'supervised', but some not: visitors, with children especially, need to be aware of the strong cross-currents and undertows.
