There are many great ways to sightsee: by car, a gentle walk, a boat cruise — but all pale when compared to a horse ride through beautiful surroundings. Last year La Pignade — our holiday parc in Ronce-les-Bains, in the sunshine department of Charente Maritime — launched an equestrian centre (Caliper Ronçois) with pony and horse [...] [...more]
There’s lots of rubbish written about the price of holidays to the Eurozone. The fact is that self-catering in France is still one of the best value holidays you can take – much better than spending a week in a tent in the UK (think how much you’ll spend when it rains); flying halfway across the [...] [...more]
Did you know that we are in the first National Ferry Fortnight, celebrating the benefits of travelling by ferry? Sail across the channel to France and you won’t be hit with baggage restrictions, or long check in queues, and you can spend the journey enjoying great food, browsing through well-stocked shops. This is especially pertinent in [...] [...more]
Charente Maritime is the sunniest region on France’s west coast… it really is, the French weather service says so. So combine the sunshine with massive sandy beaches screened by forests of pine trees, and fun seaside towns, and you have the perfect mix for a top family holiday. Of course, it’s a bit too easy to [...] [...more]
I’m building up an on-going, ever evolving guide to the regions of France. Today’s blog is about the Loire Valley – a part of France I first visited on a camping trip during the middle of a 90 degree heatwave! The Val de Loire was the play-place of French royalty before they lost their heads, which is [...] [...more]

Over a series of blogs I’ll attempt to bring together the best of the feedback to give you some ideas for visiting France’s main holiday regions. First destination is Brittany, in the north-west of France. If there’s anything you can add, please [...] [...more]
We have launched a new Euro voucher that gives siblu customers an exchange rate that is much better than deals with any other exchange rate service. After feedback from our holidaymakers we have created a Euro voucher that can be used on 10 of our parcs in France, to pay for goods in our shops, restaurants and [...] [...more]
One of the hardest parts of any holiday can be the journey, especially if you’re travelling with young children. The dreaded cry of “are we nearly there yet?” is a staple of any joke about family travel, but it’s not laughing matter for parents who have so much to think about. [...more]
Because we have more of our Excellence mobile homes – the biggest in our range – at Domaine de Kerlann than we expected this year, we have introduced a new offer that means bookers are automatically upgraded. Put simply, this means we have top-of-the range holiday homes at mid range prices for as long as availability [...] [...more]
