The campsite has pools and offers both kids and teen clubs. There is a beautiful outdoor bar and BBQ also on site and a pizzeria, take away, bread and food store. And there is evening entertainment.

“Lovely clean, well-kept and relaxed site with a great pool. Clement & Charlene were very friendly and helpful. Bart, the kids club/entertainment guy, was really good and there was range of activities for different ages. The visiting food trucks offer an alternative to cooking in the evening and are reasonably priced – good pizzas, crepes and the Friday BBQ was excellent. Evening entertainment was enjoyable and low key – the outdoor bar area is very nice and relaxed. Lots to do in the surrounding area, Provence is beautiful. Highly recommend.”
