We have travelled to Le Baume since the children were 3 and 7 they are 20 and 25....now.
The site does look a little tired but if you knew how much they clearly have invested back into the site you probably would not grumble.The staff are very rude,I have never known any diffrence,it is a shame as so many people comment but nobody does address it,my theory is you only have to check in,on the last day chuck your swipe in the box and bon voyage.
They have made big improvements to the pool areas the resteraunts,the whole site over the years.
Lifestyle is who we choose this year,its cheaper but no childrens club,so please do not groan and moan,if you want a childrens club then use Keycamp,Siblu,Eurosites,you need to pay more,if you do you will find UK speaking reps who have an amazing time with the children.
I have used,Siblu,Keycamp.Eurosites,Haven,Eurocamp for clubs and they were all fab....the children loved them but put your hand in your pocket if you want the clubs.
The supermarket is expensive but there is a Geant,Carfouur,and a cheap Leader close by .
Most people go on holiday and are prepared for days out,vist the Gorge,amazing,A day trip to Italy,the markets in Frejus nightly ,in peak season.Jet ski,paragliding....St Tropez,St Maxium need I go on,there is alot to do its not a cheap budget holiday,It is the cote d azur.
The children loved the disco from a young age ,peak season there is plenty to do.As the children get older they can go out in the evenings ,take the car or bus or what ever.
We travel to other destinations throughout the year but Le Baume is somewhere where freinds can pop and see you for a few days,we have had 13-14 people at any one time in our vans,great fun.We do keep coming back for a few weeks in the summer.
Lifestyle reps Nigel and Hayley were lovely,would l use them again it is all about price ..... although the vans were clean well postioned and large enough,with bedrooms really seperate plus decking and AC at no extra cost.
So in summary,you pay for what you get,if you want to arrive at Le baume on a cheap easy jet flight with no car hire,not really enough money for the overpriced shop on you sun deals it not for you.If your prepared to pay for Keycamp etc and have clubs included then you ill probably be a happier family if you do have young children,it is all about choices.
