Campsite ReviewLa Grande Metairie, Carnac
Le Grand Metairie Campsite is situated on the outskirts of Carnac adjacent to some of the many alignments of Standing Stones that abound there. There are two entrances the rear one leads to Carnac Plage (the beach) and the nearest Supermarket. The site is divided up in to areas each given an alphabet letter up to X although each only had 20 pitches max. Each pitch is divided the usual French way with a hedge although at 6 foot much higher than expected, all pitches had electricity and water was available but bottled water is preferable.
Toilet blocks (there were three) are large and cleaned regularly; each had pot and clothes washing facilities on the outsides, with copious amounts of hot water. The site has its own mini market, take away, restaurant, swimming pools, Jacuzzi, bar, safe play area, animation room (pool tables ping-pong tables and large screen TV) and paper shop. There are also ponies for children to ride sheep, goats and ducks to look at. Twice a week a tourist train was available to take people on a guided tour of the area with English playback.
Outside of the site is the Megaliths of the Carnac Alignments, which can take quite a time to find all of them some are free, some cost. There are numerous marinas where sailing tuition came be obtained. 20km away there is the Quiberon Peninsula which boast the French National Windsurfing School, also schools for the new craze Fly Surfing where one ties a board similar to a snowboard to your feet and wear a waist band which attaches to a very large kite then you fly the surf (extremely fast and dangerous looking it is too).
Obviously with the amount of rivers and estuaries around there is lots of fishing including salmon fishing, coarse fishing and freshwater fishing. Boats are available for tuna and shark fishing.
