After years of wanting every holiday to take us somewhere new, we’ve just booked Bontempo Village La Yole in the Vendée for the third year running. This family-friendly campsite near Saint-Jean-de-Monts has somehow converted me from a committed country-counter into a repeat visitor.

With huge caravan pitches, four swimming pools, cycle routes, nearby beaches and plenty for kids to do, here’s why La Yole has become our easy choice for a family caravan holiday in France.
