im looking at going to france late june. im hoping to fligh so want some where near to the airport. we have never been to france and know nothing about it really?!
one place we liked the look of is le clarys plage vendee which isnt too far from nantes airport which ive found cheap flights to:D
were trying to do it as cheap as possible (like everyone):rolleyes:
but im struggling how/who to book through, im nervous with not been before incase i get something wrong! and think it would be easier to go through an agent but we really carnt afford their prices:(
i would really appreciate any help/tips from you lovely people on here to guide me on my way. there will be 2 adults and 1 infant travelling.
thanks in advance

Hi,

My family and I have been travelling to France for the last 6 years and we love it!! First of all we booked with Keycamps and now we take our own camping gear. However, when we are looking up campsites we always look in the Keycamp book first and look at what description etc they have. If there is any childrens clubs, they can still join in even if you haven't booked with them. The Vendee is a beautiful part of France to visit, Brem-Sur-Mer, Le Chaponnet are definitely well worth a visit.

Good Luck!

Hi, the gites de France organisation are a regulated body which controls holiday rentals in France. I have always found them to be of a good standard and usually very good value: http://www.gites-de-france.com/gites/uk/rural_gites

Hi

we're flying to Tours in April for 0.01p each way which worked out as £33 for both of us. Tours is a lovely town and its on the edge of the Loire Valley which is stunning and not far from burgundy either. If you want somewhere relaxing but easy to get to then why not combine this with a suggestion from one of the other posts for camping.

We;re also hiring a car for 4 days costing us (from opodo) £70 and since the car rental place is only open when the Ryan air flights come in its pretty easy

hope that helps
