La Pignade

Despite its funny name (pronounced 'Pin-yard'), this 4* holiday park ticks all the boxes for a great family holiday! It's location is perfect - within easy walking distance of the seaside resort Ronce les Bans, a resort which oozes French charm and offers plenty of fun for the kids. Close to the resort and within easy cycling distance are various beaches, from family-friendly coves to the surfing waves of the Cote Sauvage. The campsite itself has bags of activities and facilities on offer. There's a picturesque pool, with indoor and outdoor swimming, a great splash zone for the tots and plus fun waterslides. When not splashing in the pool there is plenty to enjoy on park including sports and archery, plus the on-site riding school where trails through the local woodland are a real hit.

For days out head to the Ile d'Oléron, treat yourself to locally caught oysters or stroll through the streets of local towns Rochefort and La Rochelle.
