Piou Piou experiences?

Debating between Oxygene and Piou Piou for my 3 year old and was wondering if anyone has had experience with either/both? Would you recommend?

I've often heard mixed reviews about ESF but not specific to Piou Piou so would be interested to hear if anyone has used it

Oxygene every time. Piou piou is very “French”. Our experience was it was full of crying kids (seemed rammed full I don’t know what ratios they use) and bored ski instructions who didn’t care. There is a culture with the french definitely to be less hands on than the English. We definitely expect sobbing children to be comforted. They don’t. The next year we used Prosneige and it was chalk and cheese. Much more international and because there were more English clients maybe they understood that parents expected a more nurturing environment

I guess it depends on your kids - mine loved Piou Piou!

Mine hated Piou Piou!

Ski Instructors genuinely didn't seem to care; I was massively unimpressed and definitely wouldn't go back.

Thanks, everything I've read is about as mixed as the responses here! Leaning heavily towards Oxygene based on this
