Les Ecureuils - St Hilaire-de-Riez, Vendée

Parc Description

A firm favourite with young families, Les Ecureuils could hardly be better positioned, with a wide beach just across the road, where golden sands stretch for miles. Les Ecureuils is a family run, really attractive, well-kept parc too, landscaped with trees, hedges and flowers. There’s also a superb outdoor pool with waterslide, as well as an indoor pool and a fountain that children always seem to love. In the evening, you can have a relaxing drink in the bar, which is also the scene of regular family discos in high season, or perhaps enjoy a meal in the equally pleasant restaurant. There are several shops not too far from the parc, including a well-stocked supermarket, which is open from June onwards. Our 32nd year at this parc.
