France Sep 2011, Planning

August 2011

As we did last year, we booked a Mobile Home holiday with Siblu Holidays and as last year we use Tesco Supermarket holiday vouchers. We booked before the value of Tesco points was reduced, now you only get three times the face value instead of the four times you used to get. We also had a £100 voucher from Siblu, awarded as compensation for problems we had last year (see the blog for 2010 below). The vouchers together with a £9 return ferry crossing Dover Calais, made this a practically free holiday.

We booked eight days at Siblu's Domaine de Dugny at Onzain in the Loire valley and eight days at Siblu's Domaine de Litteau in Normandy.

We had been to Domaine de Dugny in 2009 with the van but Domaine de Litteau was new to us, although we had been to Normandy a few times before.

We did however change the booking later, we changed the ferry to the Hull Zeebrugge route, at a cost of £200 but there would be a lot less driving involved and I like the overnight ferry anyway. This new route meant we would have one day less at Domaine de Litteau though.

Lastly, young Ralph, Amber and Chelsie would be joining us for the first week in Onzain.
