Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

The coast is littered in campsites, but I think Al's option would be more suited to a group of adult bikers, if we want to be nearer the coast. Camping holidays are very popular in France and if you look at most of the campsites along the coast they are essentially water parks and childrens entertainment complexes.

Other possibilities further north in case Al's campsite can't/won't take us.

Are these the sort of water parks where you ride your bike in, realise it's deeper than you first thought and then have to have help getting the bike out again, with quite a lot of swearing, which serves as children's entertainment and also makes the rest of us laugh? If so, sounds perfect!

Had a bit of a google streetview mooch around Creully where the trois rivieres campsite is, and it's quite a nice wee town as north of France standards go, it's also about a 1km walk to the centre from the campsite, which has shops, bakers for morning croissants, cafe's and pubs. It looks like the best campsite if they will have us.

Ive emailed the campsite (Als one) today so will report on their reply when i get it.

Cheers, really looking forward to this now!

Me too

The campsite emailed me back and if my limited french translation was correct, they were asking if we would be requiring motorhomes.

I forgot to say we would be camping i think so with the aid of google translate, ive emailed back and told them it would be tents all round

Hopefully you don't have a translation fail and end up saying we are all camp, they might get the wrong idea......

My translation mustve been ok i think...
