The Vendee

Had a fairly long drive to the Vendee to a camping cheque site called La Yole near St Jean de Monts. A very British style site with Canvas Holidays, Keycamp and Eurocamp all well represented, not to mention those independents who had booked with Caravan Club. Rosemary bought an English newspaper from the site shop and so a Thai chicken curry cooked on 'the jamie' did not seem out of place. The walk to the beach and back was just 'back to back' campsites of a similar nature, although most seemed empty. Every other voice was British but at least there were no full English breakfast signs or Cornish pasties in evidence. The area has changed a bit since we bought Mark and Katie here when they were young 30 years ago.
