American Express, Visa, Diners Club and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, hotels and restaurants. In France, Visa is the most commonly used credit card. Debit cards displaying Cirrus, EC or Visa symbol and Credit cards may be used to withdraw cash for cash point machines if you know your PIN.

Carisma Baby Packs

Do you have an infant and wonder if you have enough space in the car for all the bulky things that baby needs? You shouldn't worry. We can provide a Baby Pack (suitable for the under 2's) for just £20 per week which includes a camping cot and high chair.

Barbeques - The Grate Outdoors!

Barbecues are ideal for making the most of those warm summer evenings and are available for hire free of charge on all our sites. Due to the pine forests of the South West Coast, at Messanges barbecues are permitted only in designated areas whilst at Biscarrosse, Les Sables, Les Conches, St Hilaire and Jard-sur-Mer we hire gas barbecues.
