Benodet - Brittany

It was our first family holiday with our two young children and we decided we wanted to try something different so we booked direct flights to Brest, rented a car for a week and booked a mobile home on a 4* campsite called La Pointe St Gilles. It is located near the town of Benodet in Southern Brittany where the Odet River meets the ocean. It is located about 1.5 hours from Brest Airport and the drive was hassle free and ideal when travelling with young children.

Our home for the next 7 nights was a wonderful 2 bedroom mobile home with decking outside with the all important BBQ which we used quite a lot. The mobile was bright and modern and came fully equipped with all essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. It was located no more than a minute’s walk from all the onsite facilities. There was a fantastic indoor and outdoor pool complex with water slides and chutes and the children’s playground is ideally located close by.

There is a small restaurant and bar onsite as well as a supermarket. There is also a wellness center for anybody looking for some pampering. There is a little secluded beach opposite the campsite so everything is close by. This site is ideally for anyone with young children and it suited us just perfectly.

The town of Benodet is a lovely 20 minute stroll along the beautiful coastline and the town itself has some lovely restaurants and bars or if you don’t feel like walking the “Petit Train” goes by the campsite 3 times a day. We did a day trip to Zoo De Pont Scorff and we visited the town of Concarneau which is only 17 km away.

This holiday was an easy option with a one and two year old and we really enjoyed the whole trip. I would really recommend it!
