These are our top 3 but I can't choose!
6 of us, 'kids' are between 18 and 9.
Any experiences to help me decide please?

Can only comment on Des Ormes but we loved it. Such variety for all ages. Caters well for teens with climbing wall, zip wires, cycle trails, amusements hall, proper horse riding school as well as pony rides for younger children. Lots of pools, inside and out, with waves, lazy river, slides etc.

The town nearby has a market with nice food stalls teens might like (sausages, pancakes and galettes were all popular) and it's easy for tourist day trips to places like St Malo, Cancale and Mont St Michel.

I've been to Des Ormes and Grand Metairie. They're both fab and you'd enjoy either/both.
We did both on the same holiday (one week north Brittany, then one week south) we were in a supertents in Ormes and a mobile home in Carnac.
Not sure I could choose between them... maybe Grand Metairie. It had less to do on site, but had safe flat cycling (easy and safe with children to get to beach) and lots of nice places to visit. Oh and standing stones. I love standing stones.

Only been to Des Ormes which was big and good. I'd also be looking at the weather... the further south, the better the weather. We had a lot of rain at Des Ormes.
