  • Woodland setting close to the coast and ancient salt marshes
  • Easy access to Loire Valley vineyard days
  • Covered heated pool, restaurant, café and grocery shop
There's rather a brilliant pool at Camping Les Brillas in the Loire Valley between Brittany and the Vendée – it's covered and heated to cope with all weathers, but if ever you tire of dips in here, you'll find a rather brilliant beach (with equally brilliant shore fishing) at Les Moutiers-en-Retz only about a kilometre away. (This is ancient salt marsh land too for those who want to tramp around inland for a spot of wildlife watching.) As well as that pool, this friendly site is well set up for relaxed stays amid its woodland setting, with a play area, a mini farm, a TV room and a restaurant and café as well as a grocery shop. Evening entertainment is laid on for all ages and activities for les enfants by day and evening in July and August: might this keep them busy while the grownups have another wallow around the Brillas pool…? Amenities on site include a toilet block with a washing-up area, a launderette, disabled facilities and a drying room, and wifi access.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Indoor swimming pool lovely. Location to Moutier-en-Retz. Lovely easy cycle rides around the whole area. Beach close by (although sea is brown from silt - very clean but just be aware it’s brown). Lovely village and if you like shells you can collect loads on the beaches, fun fishing huts to look at on bike rides. Clean and nice shower area. Friendly reception. Good reasonable food in snack bar.

Disliked: The noise levels are quite high. The type of families that stay here when I was there were large French groups who were really nice during the day but did not seem to understand the rules on being quiet at night or in the morning. I asked to move pitch as there were some quieter ones but I was told there was no space when clearly there was. The teenage kids were not great to my kids on the playground area either. There was a kids club but if your kids don’t speak French they won’t be able to join in. I didn’t mind that as my kids didn’t want to join but if your kids would like to and don’t speak French they will find it difficult.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The swimming pool and evening entertainment activities were fantastic. The reception staff and entertainment staff were really friendly and accommodating, helping us with anything we needed. Brilliant stay!

Disliked: The menu could have been better, for example there were pizzas on offer but no margheritas, which is strange as it's such a simple option and great for kids who are a bit fussy with what they eat.

Local attractions

This lovely land is among the old salt marshes of Les Moutiers-en-Retz, close to the coast, and near Loire-Atlantique countryside days around vineyards, hiking trails and traditional French villages. The seaside is close by for shore fishing, coastal walks and strolls along the beachfront: as well as the several lovely beaches within easy reach, the Camping Les Brillas team particularly recommends the fishing port of Le Collet and the towns of La Bernerie-en-Retz and Pornic. Planète Sauvage, the zoological park with about 1000 critters from 150 species, is a considerate 25 kilometres away at Port St Père and also comes highly recommended; further afield at an hour and a half's drive but oh so very much worth the trip is the fably bizarre medieval theme park Puy du Fou.
