    I disagree. The Vendee is the warmest part of France apart from the Med and is a good way further north than Bordeaux.

    I agree - south of the Loire the weather is much more reliable than in Brittany.

    We like Brittany and The Vendee (although Vendee was too hot in the school summer holidays for our pasty, gingery family!) but probably a bit of a longer drive than 3 hours. We've broken our journey at campsites nearer the channel ports before, and liked Camping Le Vallee at Houlgate and Cote de Nacre at St Aubin - lots of nice beaches and traditional Normandy architecture in the area. Food and drink is good too :).


    I would also recommend cote de nacre in St aubin Sur mer, a lovely village on a D-day beach.
