Our first website was Château de Lez Eaux, Domaine des Ormes was the second and Château de Galinée was our third campsite.
Domaine des Ormes was the biggest and most bustling campsite we stayed at. Wow, you possibly can keep right here for weeks and nonetheless not discover every thing the positioning has to supply. It felt utterly totally different to our first campsite at Château de Lez Eaux and it was far more energetic with an countless checklist of actions for youths.
