CAMPING’S If you want culture, beaches and fine food,

NIGEL ROE BAD news if you’ve booked a week at Domaine des Ormes this summer… you should have booked two.

There’s just so much to do at this bustling Brittany campsite you’ll never cram it all into just seven days and nights.

Set in the grounds of a grand 16th century chateau near the village of Epinac, Les Ormes is one of the very best sites in Europe and earned a coveted five red tents from Michelin.

You can wander past lily-covered pools and through peaceful woods, enjoy a round of golf on the 18-hole course or even book a ride in the owner’s helicopter to get a bird’s eye view of the park’s 600 acres.

For adrenaline junkies there is waterskiing, climbing and a highwire trail through the tree tops.

Bikes can be hired on site and there’s also a stables where horselovers can book a lesson.

And the kids will love the pool complex with its slides and brilliant wave machine.

There are plenty of bars and places to eat, while Friday nights in high season are a real blast. The whole park echoes to the sound of fireworks as the entertainment staff put on an all-action stunt show.

Make sure you get there early to grab a good spot to watch it.

For our tennight stay we booked a posh Moda mobile home with Canvas Holidays.

With two bedrooms, a family-sized bathroom, outdoor deck and built-in Bluetooth speaker bar it was really luxurious.

The pitches are tucked away in a quiet corner of the park between towering pines with red squirrels scampering around.

If you can drag yourself away from the site you’ll be spoiled for choice for things to see and do in this pretty part of Brittany.

Spectacular Mont Saint-Michel, one of France’s best known landmarks, is around 12 miles away. Be warned though, it can become busy in high season so get there early to beat the crowds.

Two million people visit every year yet only around a third of them ever make the trek from the lower parts of the island up to the abbey to take in the views and see the spectacular medieval architecture.

If it’s a sandy beach you’re after, head for the rival resorts of St-Jacut and St-Cast, named after religious figures from the Dark Ages. Locals used to fight over mackerel catches, nowadays they compete for tourists instead.

The resorts are linked by a bridge across the river Arguenon, the scene of a massacre of British troops during a battle in 1758.

Plenty more Breton history is on show in gorgeous Dinan, a medieval
