What a grand place indeed. Family-friendly Les Rives de Grand Lieu, in the Loire-Atlantique town of Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu, has direct access to a leisure centre alongside the river Boulogne, where guests can go swimming, paddling, fishing or strolling along the banks. It is also in front of a 20-hectare leisure park with archery, golf, windsurfing and a whole heap more. The five-hectare lake next to the site has several shaded picnic spots for lazy days as well as outdoor activities for all ages and supervised swimming in July and August. A happily wide range of activities is arranged on site by the friendly team in high season and a tree-based playground is around for kids to investigate too. A terrace snack bar serves breakfasts, hot and cold sandwiches, pizza, salads, pastries, ice cream and drinks of the soft and hard varieties. Several restaurants are within 10 minutes' walk.

Lodge Baléare safari tent (two person)

Liked: River nearby, quiet,would be ideal for self contained rv

Disliked: Had a small yurt, very dirty, could not stand up in half of it, no where to put belongings, not one hook, cleaned the dirt and bugs off an outside chair to bring it in to have something to put a small bag on, cleaned dust off the top of the microwave to have a "shelf." there was a heater that belched fumes but it did work.

Power optional grass site

Liked: The proximity and the beautiful park across the road. Clean sanitary facilities

Disliked: Poor organisation. We weren't offered a security device to open the gate until day 2 which caused confusion. Pitches were tired and unwelcoming and only separated by a rope barrier. Our experience of the snack bar on day 1 was diabolical. It took several reminders and 45 mins to get our drinks, and 2 hours + to receive a pizza (overcooked) and 15 mins later a croque monsieur (practically raw). We were offered a free drink and thought it was emphasized it was a dry white wine preference, even pointing out the choice on the menu, I still was given a sweet one. Very poor.

Local attractions

Hire a bike to get out and about around this pretty setting and to ride along to the local town of Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu, just over a kilometre away. Less than half an hour's drive will land you at Planète Sauvage, the 80-hectare safari zoo park home to around a thousand beasties from 150 species. Visitors can view the animals by car in the safari park setting, or amble around on foot around the pedestrian section and the dolphinarium Marine City, the bush village with crocodiles and other scaly critters, and the jungle trail to the flamingos and monkeys. Time must be taken in spectacular Nantes too, 25 minutes' drive away, and to tuck into eel, shrimp and sardines from the local ports of La Turballe and Le Croisic.
