Marie and her five children are on a cycling holiday. Coming from the Paris region, they like this type of campsite: ” We prefer to stay with the locals, it’s more personal, quieter in general“.

Marcelle lives alone, she is isolated. What she prefers in this process are exchanges with visitors. ” I like the contact so it suits me perfectly. And I welcome really lovely people. When they come back happy from a day of hiking, it’s fun. “, she enthuses.
She keeps in touch with some vacationers who send her “always messages and photos” the next year.
the cheap price of stay is also an argument for campers. ” With a large family, it is cheaper than a camping pitch“, explains Mickael, who came from Fougères.
