We drove from the north of the UK with 2 young children, having seen the pictures of this holiday accomodation through French Life. I'll start with the single positive, the 'apartment ' was clean inside. Now the very bad news; it was accessed by a dark, dirty back entry and the door to the apartment was 2 metres away from the refuse collection area. It was mig-August (2009) - you imgaine the smell and flies.
With regards to the accomodation, we had paid for a 3 room apartment (the largest available). The first room (with 2 bunks) was actually the moment you open the door, it was the entrance hall!, close the door to the kitchen / living room and that's thats your first room. The second was the closest to a bedroom in so much as it had 2 beds. The window was 18 inches by 18 inches (I measured it) and looked in on a dark and dirty corridor with cast iron bars on the window. There was no storage facilities in this room. There was one lamp and 2 single, very rough beds. The 3rd 'room' was the kitchen / living room ; bedroom/ whatever else. This had the most uncomfortable sofa bed and a pull down bed from the wall - remember this was also the kitchen / living room ! There was absolutely no kitchen worktop at all - self catering? The shower - someone needed to hold it for you as it was not fixed to the wall - basic mixer taps.
The patio door opened onto a garden that was shared, strewn with toilet paper, dirty and dogs either side. The garden was 10 meters from a public car park that had teenagers playing loud music until 5am.
We stayed just one night, out of what was to be 14 !, In that night the 2 adults were bitten by bed bugs over 10 times. We left after 1night and enjoyed a tour of France in quality hotels (less costly than this one!)
This is an absolutely disgraceful complex. I regualrly visit HM Prisons in the UK as a lay visitor and I can assure you that the conditions there are substantially better on all levels. This is the first review I've put on TrIp Advisor as I've relied on it for many trips to date, but this time I've felt compelled to wriite.
Please aviod this accomodation at at all costs.
