    Just wondering if anyone has been on a sun holiday to the sites around Paris please? We do the sun holidays every year and have always stayed in scotland or England and have thought about going towards Paris as I personally have never been there and thought might be a cheap way to do it :) Any advice on the camps there would be most appreciated! Also do you know if they can be booked online.

    Thank you ever so much for your advice!

    Thanks to everyone for answering my question. Hopefully I'll get the booking form this week. My surname begins with a "W" so I usually do have to wait for things!! Finger's crossed anyway!!

    I think the way it works is that, you get one priority form if you booked at the previous opportunity. If you miss an opportunity, you don't get another form. Been doing this for a few years now, and that's the pattern.

    For anybody who's never booked a Sun £9.50 holiday: be prepared - you can't holiday for £9.50. It's based on 4 people sharing, so the minimum fee is £38. Then there'e a power charge; typically £12. Then linen, and so on and so on. By the time you've upgraded to a good standard of caravan that'll keep you warm, you're paying between £100-£150.

    HOWEVER, £150 for a long weekend in some beautiful locations is really good value for money, and I've never knocked the Sun holidays and never had a bad one. Just important that people understand it's not quite *that* cheap!! :p

    The most we have ever paid is just under £80. Our last one in May was in a luxury caravan too.

    We never upgrade the accomodation, but often arrive to be told we have a free upgrade anyhow.

    Is every single site now bookable online? as we always have to post ours off as the site we want is never included normally.
