La Croix Naturally Essenced Key Lime Sparkling Water 355ml (Pack of 24)

Product Information

Another fantastic feature of La Croix Du Vieux Pont was the outdoor lake. This man-made swimming area is surrounded by soft sand, and beyond that, large stretches of grass. On a sunny day, it makes a great place to base yourself as it’s perfect for paddling, sandcastle building, and picnics on the lawn. It’s hard to know where to start with the entertainment options at La Croix Du Vieux Pont, as there is just so much to do! Between the bowling alley, laser quest, soft play, playgrounds, discos and evening entertainment, we thought there was a great selection of activities to suit all age ranges.

And then you have the day time kids clubs run by Eurocamp. The activities were varied and you could dip in and out whenever you wanted to, no need to pre-book anything. Eurocamp also organise family sports sessions such as football and rounders, which were a highlight for our children, and also a great way to meet other holiday makers. Just over the road from the La Croix Du Vieux Pont parc is a horse riding centre. Horse lovers of the family will love having the stables within walking distance from your accomodation – you can pop by whenever to say hello to the horses or go on a pony ride. La Croix Du Vieux Pont has various different accommodation sections, we were staying in the Ancient Gardens. We found this location perfect, as it was a short walk to the swimming pools and main complex (but not too close to be noisy), and the pitches were a great size and set up.

If you don’t have your own car, or you simply don’t fancy driving yourself, Eurocamp put on coaches to Paris and Disneyland Paris, leaving at 8am and returning around 9pm. The shower room was a lot roomier than I’d imagined – there was no bath in our particular mobile home, but there are accommodation options available if one is required. There were also sinks and washroom areas suitable for washing a baby just a short walk away from our pitch. I used to stay in Eurocamp mobile homes when I was a child, but it’s been a good few years since then, so I was keen to see if my childhood memories still held up today – would a Eurocamp holiday seem as good as I remember? Would a mobile home feel spacious enough for our family of five?

With no flights or car hire fees, and a ‘per family’ price rather than per person accommodation price, Eurocamp offers a really affordable holiday option for our family of five. We were comfortable and happy in our mobile home, and loved the way a Eurocamp holiday naturally encourages you to spend lots of time outdoors. There were also loads of outdoor activities at Camping La Croix Du Vieux Pont – archery, a climbing wall, pedalos, trampolines, go karts, mini golf, and a bouncy castle. (You do have to pay extra for these, though).We took a short drive to the nearby town of Soissons one afternoon, where we walked amongst the ruins of St. Jean des Vignes Abbey . The nearby Espace Pierres Folles contains a museum, geological trail, and botanical garden . The journey from London to La Croix Du Vieux Pont was simple, and around the same length of time as it takes us to drive to Cornwall– making us think, why don’t we come to France more often? During our week at Camping La Croix Du Vieux Pont with Eurocamp, we took a trip to Paris, as Rory had been dying to see the Eiffel Tower in real life. We didn’t fancy driving all the way into the city centre and navigating crazy traffic, so we parked on the outskirts and hopped on a Metro that took us straight to all the sights. One thing that we really loved about our Eurocamp holiday is that by nature it is a very outdoorsy sort of stay. The children spent 90% of their time outside, soaking up the vitamin D and running around with friends they’d made. It felt like a completely different vibe to our usual family life at home – which is exactly what we like from a holiday. Personally we didn’t think the zip wire was very well organised and our group of kids waited for nearly two hours in the heat which could have been avoided with better organisation/splitting the sessions.
