La Pignade Holiday Park

We have just returned from a 14 day stay at La Pignade with Siblu Holidays we have two children 3 and 1 who we could not get out of the small swimming pool. We had the greatest time, the campsite is excellent and clean, the evening entertainment is a must starting with a childrens show (spoken in french and english) then followed by cabaret for the adults the whole entertainments team put their heart and soul into each evening. We were also very lucky to get a free upgrade to a 3 bedroom - 2 bathroom caravan with decking (a must!), unfortunately though when we arrived our first caravan had lots of ants but we went to reception and was moved immediately to the same standard caravan a few doors down. The area where the park is located has everything you would need beaches and forest ideal for a bike ride. The bike hire located just outside the campsite did the best deals in town. A trip to La Palmyre Zoo is an absolute must the kids loved it, but also my husband and I thought it was fantastic to feed the giraffes and elephants, popcorn!!! (take some with you and make your own its cheaper!). Also the train Le Petit St Trojan on Ile D'oleron is worth a visit it takes you to a lovely beach with the best waves!!. Saintes is well worth a trip to see the Roman Ampitheatre and on the first monday of every month there is a huge market which covers the whole of the town selling everything from animals to shoes!! Our only downside to the whole holiday was the caravans are close together, which is fine if you are lucky enough to have nice neighbours. A fair few of the caravans are privately owned and unfortunately the french couple next to us did not appreciate our childrens playful banter!! All in all we did have a great holiday and would definately recommend this site to other people with small children.

We have just returned from a holiday at 'La Pignade' Holiday Park in France, a holiday park owned and managed by the Holiday Comapny SIBLU, and it was a most excellent holiday !! The site was very impressive and ideal for young children; the swimming pool was very clean and well maintained, and supervised well by SIBLU staff. There were two big slides there, okay for young kids, although probably not scary enough for teenagers ! The mobile home we had was clean, tidy and well equipped. Ours was a short distance away from the centre of the park, so we heard none of the evening entertainment in the centre of the park, and the children slept well. Most importantly all the staff, especially the reception staff, were extremely helpful, and very pleasant - we had a slight problem when we arrived in that they gave us a 2 bedroom caravan when we had booked a 3 bedroom home. However the staff there sorted it out very quickly, and were very helpful. The park was in a lovely area of France, some very interesting towns and villages nearby, and some beautiful beaches about 10-15 minute drive away on the coast. The nearby Zoo at Palmyre is a must, and puts UK Zoos in the shade - the kids loved it. All in all a very good holiday, and we would certainly use SIBLU again, and recommend them to family and friends.
