We welcome families and quiet couples, don't accept single-sex groups and unaccompanied teenagers, don't have a club or disco and, as a condition, we ask that people make no noise near the mobile homes after 10:30pm - Sometimes, despite our best endeavours, people break the rules: if they do they will be asked to leave.
Fishing
One of the main activities on site is of course fishing.
The caravan site has two fishing lakes. The top lake, which is set in, the wooded area is mainly for experienced fishermen, with Carp at 20lb plus. A small daily fee is charged for this and all catches must be released. In May 2005 within 3 hours one of our guests bagged a total catch of 140lb. He was so pleased with the fishing on site he booked again for later in the year bringing the whole family for a holiday in France.
If you wish to go fishing in France, you are required to obtain a fishing permit from the local fishing tackle shop a short drive away in Montendre. There are lots of ideal locations for day fishing in Charente Maritime, which we are more than happy to help with.
The bottom lake is of mixed fish and is free of charge to all guests in our mobile homes. Again our policy is catch and release. The lake is an ideal spot for eating out at night on the island where picnic benches are set aside for such activities (how romantic).
