Camping la Mignardière

Gostou Initial greeting on arrival was very pleasant. However WiFi wasn’t explained.
Place looked clean and tidy.

Não gostou Unfortunately our pitch (161) was extremely uneven, big bumps. Only needing pitch for 1 night we made it work however if we needed to be there longer this wouldn’t have worked with our van and awning.
The snack bar was out of stock of over 50% of the menu.. the food we did order wasn’t great.
The day we left we went to the shop in reception to pick up some water for our journey and there was only 1 in the fridge, I asked if the had anymore ( extremely politely I may add as I am very conscious I don’t speak French so try and compensate with smiles and manners!) and I was answered with a straight NO
I feel for mid August I would expect stock to still be high in most items.
We stayed at many sites and this site made us feel very un welcome.

Gostou There’s really nothing much to dislike about this campsite. It’s easy to get to, being less than 10 minutes from the main road. Supermarket 2km away ( SuperU) and fuel station but there is an Aldi as well that also sells fuel. €0.10 per litre cheaper than SuperU!!
Our “comfort “ pitch was huge, and very quiet, even though we were there over a public holiday weekend. Reception team very efficient and friendly.
The “bar” was open during our stay but to be fair it’s just a cabin that sells cans of beer, wine and soft drinks, along with pizzas, panini etc. Adequate but only just. However walk 2 minutes across the road to the Auberge and all is forgiven. The food is top class ( you need to book!) but if you only want a drink there is a separate comfortable area.
Tours is literally just up the road and there is loads to do. We drove in and parked in the Indigo car park opposite the main station. Parking for almost 5 hours was €4.70. Bargain.
So yes we will definitely go back to the site next time to do more exploring, possibly at a different time of year when it’s not so hot., it was creeping towards 40 degrees during our stay.

Não gostou Only 2 minor niggles in the shower’s near our pitch, while clean? Were inadequate for the amount of of users, and the shower head was completely missing from one of them. Not a huge drama as we showered in the caravan but worth a mention. Finally the website says check in from 1500. We arrived at 1445, the barriers were open so we parked and waited for reception to open. Having waited for 10 minutes a passer by pointed out a box near the reception that contained details for all expected arrivals. The envelope contained a map showing which pitch, the barrier code in case it was closed and the WiFi details. So, if you arrive early and reception is closed, find your envelope and go and set up, call back to the office before the end of the day.
Check out is 12 noon but interestingly as we were having a late coffee before leaving, a couple walked around looking at the Nextdoor pitch, which has just been vacated. Shortly after they returned with their caravan! Obviously they had arrived VERY early and reception had basically said “ go and look and if your pitch is now free we’ll allow you on”

Gostou Rien
Déçu

Não gostou Emplacement réduit par rapport à l'annonce. Pas entretenu : herbe haute.
Sanitaire vétuste et pas clean. Piscine : aucun respect de la réglementation : grosse bouée plongeon ballon qui occupaient un quart de la piscine voir plus . Heureusement notre séjour était de courte durée....4 étoiles non justifiées ...comme quoi. Avons fréquenté des 3 étoiles beaucoup mieux...

Gostou Excellent pool, wide range of facilities

Não gostou Very busy (crammed in as many people as possible). So toilets could do with more frequent cleaning, often very noisy before 10 which wasn't great with infants particularly as we were placed near the playground and bouncy castle.

Gostou The campsite was quiet but had good facilities to keep a small child entertained. It was helpful that there was both an indoor and outdoor pool. The snack bar had good prices and good service. Staff at the site were friendly and helpful. The morning croissants were amazing (the best I've had). The little free train that ran around the site in the afternoon was great to entertain our child.
