Arrived at second the French campsite. La Valley in Deauville on the mouth of the Seine.
Looks like more your traditional campsite, from the limited experience as a child of the 70s staying in campsites and statics at Filey. One hour from arrival to fully setup and off to the pool. It's got more grass, slightly smaller pitch and less tree cover, better for charging my leisure battery.
Update.
So the usual bread list applies, you need to put your name down on a list with your requirements for bread, pain su chocolate etc, the night before, or there is very little left come 09:30.
The toilets are clean as are the showers. They are not unisex as in Huttopia but split between the sexes.
THERE IS NO TOILET PAPER, in the stalls, you supply your own.
The outside pool is geared towards young children as it is shallow and mainly slides and flumes. There is stiff competition for the chairs and sun loungers!
The showers work on a wireless token you receive on entry to the site. I had to queue at the reception (opens at 9am) to find that out. My other half hadn't told me.
There are two security guards on the gate at night, so not sure how salubrious the local population are.
On the way into La Treuville is a large Carrefour where they sell everything you could think of. Honestly it's HUGE!!
Deauville is VERY pretty but quite 'exclusuve' we saw three Lamborghini a Rolls, an Aston Martin, a Ferrari and lots of Porche! Last image is the architecture, showing the style of buildings.
