9.50 Sun Hols - Spain & France parks

I've done the Sun Hols for years and year now - normally 3-4 a year! ;-) but am considering trying a park in either Spain or France for my next one. I've checked online and can only find 2 which are bookable online - Le Chene near Paris or Vilanova near Barcelona. I can tie them both in with cheap Easyjet flights etc. but wondered if anyone had any experiences of going to a park abroad with The Sun?

For those with priority forms, code yesterday was ISLE and bonus code today is HOLS.
Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    we just went to chene le gris in JUne we had read mixed reviews and were very worried as the year before we had booked butlins through the sun and even though we had upgraded the appartment was still dirty when we got there. The challets at chen are spotless, compact but lovely and clean, we used it as stay over to do a cheep two day trip to disney which was litrealy 15 min drive away going on the no toll roads. The resort doenst really have any entartaiment got 2 pools one with slides that arent heated but the boys loved it and even after a busy day at disney land would come back and go swimming at 7 for an hour, staff are really friendly, its also got a small playground for kids quite dirty with sand and debris. The walk to the challets is also walking on stuff like little stones but we were lucky we were very near the begining so not a long walk . we also did a day trip to paris on the train whcih was brilliant as train station is litreally outside but we never heard the trains and takes 45 minuites . no tv in challet which we thought was brilliant very peacefull resort. we were very pelased with it and are going back begining of october to do a cheep eurodisney trip again, boys cant wait we stayed four days, unless really hot day where you are in the pool you couldnt stay on site all day with kids. it is about a three and a half hour drive from calais but all in all we were very very pleased and happy there. any other questions pelase ask

    also you need to bring own sheets etc they provide blankets and pillows and another strange thing is you have to leave the palce spotless when you leave well exactly how you got it
