French summer holidays

The park we are looking at is in a place called LA FLOTTE, Looks a lovely area and the bonus of easy access from the airport,
That's the North Coast up from Saint Martin, I don't know it at all but it'll be great. Once you're on the Island it'll all work grand for ye, buses are good etc and like I said cycling is the way to go if ye can
 
Ile de Rey is great. we spent 3 weeks there about 2 years ago in May, St Martin de Ray is the big town on the North side of the island.

Rich day trippers mostly, nice restaurants and the like..Savage ice cream by the harbour.

St Marie de Rey on the South side is nice too but way more residential.

There is a place Bois up by the big beach (Plage Gros Jonc I think) where all the campsites are, very Nice altogether. its supposed to be rammed in the high summer but rent a few bikes and you'll be away. It's flat and there are bike paths everywhere though the vineyards.

For small kids the Aquarium in La Rochelle is great. Also depending on the time of year a Top 14 match in La Rochelle was brilliant. Loads of atmosphere with big brass bands and Fireworks etc. You get resale tickets on their website but the season is over by summer
Stacky (previously of these parts) was a big fan of Ile de Rey

I've had a look a few times but never went in the end as I always got drawn to Italy or Portugal - looks a lovely spot, and you might bump into ROG for a quart while you're at it

The Rotisserie chicken fella near the place we were staying was good buddies with ROG, he got fierce excited when I told him Je suis Irelandais pa's d'Anglais
