I got cheap flights to La Rochelle hoping to get a holiday pk accessible by taxi. Alas there are v few and I don't fancy car hire. I have provisionally booked La Pignade but have reservations as we did a Haven holiday in the UK and it was awful! I am going at the end of June early July. I have an 8yr old who loves flumes a 3yr old and a nearly 2yr old by then. I have seen some beautiful places on ile de re and oleron (no flumes but I could cope I'm sure). However I'm wary about mosquitos as it is close to marshland. Are they much worse than anywhere else? Is that really low season for the iles I would hope there would be other kids on hols too.
Anyway all tips welcome. I like the idea of being near a beach and a town/village.
Thanks :)
