06/08/2026: The saleswoman hands us the sandwiches without gloves, the prices are not displayed anywhere, it seems the price depends on the customer, there is no label indicating the ingredients of the sandwiches, we have to guess, and the saleswoman is unable to give us a detailed receipt....

17/07/2026: Very disappointed... I went there after an appointment, and the waitress served me without gloves or tongs, using only her bare hands with a delicacy that disgusted me! I didn't dare say anything for fear of causing a scene! So I threw my purchases in the trash on my way out! I won't be going back!

14/08/2026: A wooded and flowery campsite located near the forest in a fairly hilly area – lots of hills: something to keep in mind (walkers, cyclists... if you're not very athletic, this is important). Very well maintained, with a friendly team at reception, the bar, and in maintenance. They were very responsive; we had two power outages in our mobile home, which were quickly resolved, and a burnt-out lightbulb was changed in 5 minutes! Dog friendly! Our Golden Retriever was well received, but unfortunately, the coastline of the entire region isn't dog friendly! There are no nearby beaches where dogs are allowed, even in the evening (you have to defy the rules and go to smaller, less supervised beaches). For us, this was a real drawback – no long evening walks with the family by the water! Luckily, our day trip to Île d'Oléron allowed us a proper evening at the beach with our dog. Our mobile home: It was a privately owned mobile home (I found out too late; I don't like renting from private individuals). Clean (despite a dirty pair of underwear under the mattress of one of the children's beds), the interior was fine except for the bedding, which was disastrous. It really needs replacing; none of us slept comfortably! On the other hand, the exterior wasn't really to my taste: a lot of decorations, all kinds of lamps, rugs, mismatched flooring, and a small wooden terrace cluttered with an outdoor kitchen... (I prefer a minimalist decor to feel a bit more at home). The swimming pool: Perfect, a very decent size, always clean and supervised. The campsite offers activities for children and adults, which I won't comment on as we didn't participate. The snack bar, La Paillote: We ate well there several times. It's true that the hill is quite tiring when you drive up it several times a day. The beaches are right across the road; they're really beautiful, but you can tell they're at the estuary, so the water is very sandy. Just step outside the campsite and walk for 5 minutes. The village of Meschers is charming, close to St. Georges de Didonne, Royan, and Talmont (don't miss it!).

08/08/2026: We spent a week as a family at Camping Les Loges. Unfortunately, in our opinion, this campsite doesn't really live up to its 5-star rating. The swimming pool is far too small for a campsite of this category, and we expected much better. The evening entertainment was also quite disappointing, especially for children. We've stayed at other campsites, and the evening entertainment offered was much more interesting, varied, and well-organized. We also found the staff to be very discreet, almost too discreet: sometimes it felt like there was hardly anyone in the campsite. It lacked a bit of atmosphere and energy. The campsite is also quite hilly, which isn't very practical with young children. Despite everything, we had a good week as a family and enjoyed our vacation. But to be honest, we won't be returning to this campsite. For an establishment advertised as 5-star, we expected much more entertainment and a lively atmosphere.

25/05/2026: Excellent value for money, generous and delicious portions, top-notch staff (a rarity these days), very good desserts, and the rum baba (the authentic recipe) was superb! Bravo!

25/05/2026: This review applies to the restaurant only. The service was unfriendly, and the quality was very questionable. Be prepared to wait, especially at the start of peak season, as we waited almost half an hour for a carafe of water (in 34-degree heat, that's really pushing it) and a burger that wasn't cooked properly. Our food was lukewarm, and judging by the burger bun and the frozen fries, which were as hard as a rock, you have to wonder if the plates hadn't cooled down somewhere before reaching our table... I want to emphasize the desperately long wait; our neighbors had to help themselves to salt from another table that hadn't been cleared yet. We even shared our sauces with them because they were forgotten. The only good point is that the portions weren't too large or too small, but overall it's really very average, and the numerous Routard awards it has received in the past don't guarantee the current quality.

04/09/2026: The best part was the waitress; the rest could have been done by anyone, nothing special.

04/09/2026: A magical place in La Rochelle! ✨ The view of the two towers is simply magnificent. A huge thank you for the excellent service, warm welcome, and wonderful energy. An experience I highly recommend! ❤️

07/09/2026: Very family-friendly, dogs are welcome; dogs are very well received by very kind and friendly people.

06/09/2026: Thankfully, the view is magnificent! We were served quickly. I ordered the 2 x 100g burgers for €21 from the menu. I was given a choice of how I wanted them cooked, and I asked for rare. On my plate were two burger patties, frozen and therefore much overcooked and tough. We ordered a carafe of Charentais wine, which came with ice cubes. My husband's €28 set menu was decent.

07/06/2026: ATTENTION!! Restaurant CLOSED due to retirement.

09/10/2026: These have to be the worst pizzas I've ever eaten. They're on par with frozen supermarket pizza.

27/09/2026: While waiting for the pizza to cook, we had a pleasant moment. We chatted with the manager, talking about photos with a big smile... my friend and I had a good laugh. The pizza was delicious... And there was a great selection... Go for it! 👍👍 I highly recommend it. Nathalie

29/08/2026: I'm talking about the nightclub, not the restaurant: The welcome was about as pleasant as getting your teeth pulled without anesthesia... The bouncers were about as friendly as a prison door... A real treat... Luckily we were with someone, because paying €60 and being received like that on your first visit is a bit of a turn-off.

28/08/2026: The restaurant is amazing. But the nightclub section really leaves something to be desired. Dirty restrooms. Excessively expensive cocktails that aren't very good. And as for the music, I wondered if it was a DJ or a jukebox providing the entertainment.

09/09/2026: It's a shame I have to give one star because this establishment and its staff don't deserve it. Seated on the terrace, we ordered a snack, but when it came time to pay, we were firmly informed that the card wasn't accepted for orders under €10, without any prior notice. Their suggestion: order something else?! I'll let you be the judge of their methods! It's a shame that such practices, and especially the staff's attitude, tarnish the island's image.

02/09/2026: So, unfortunately, we're joining the ranks of the previous negative reviews, and they deserve it. The waitress and the person behind the bar forcefully, with a level of aggression bordering on verbal abuse, insist on paying in cash for two coffees because they only accept cash for amounts under €10. This forces you to ask someone else to pay by running off to find an ATM. This is typical of a tourist trap; if you don't want tourists, you should behave like them. It's a shame for this beautiful island, and thankfully not all businesses are so unpleasant. We absolutely do not recommend it.

06/09/2026: Very good, fast service, would do it again

19/08/2026: A very nice restaurant. The galettes are very large and beautifully presented on a plate. The quality/price ratio is reasonable for such a touristy area. And they have very good omelets for those who don't like galettes. The service is decent; the manager is admittedly a bit rough around the edges but remains friendly and has a good sense of humor. One point for improvement: the toilet seat needs replacing. But given how busy it is...

14/06/2026: Very friendly owner. The place is very pretty.

13/06/2026: The service on the terrace was terrible. The service was catastrophic, and the staff's friendliness needs improvement—they were a bit selfish and rushed. And the cocktails! Don't even get me started. It's a disgrace to offer such bad cocktails! They shouldn't even have them on the menu if that's what they're going to serve. Lunch was a disaster—very cold, and the salmon with rice was served with just water. The salmon and rice dish was watery and truly disgusting, and the salmon was overcooked and unappetizing. The entire service, including the meals, needs to be reviewed. The potatoes were undercooked, and there was a lack of sauce and spices. It had no flavor. Etc., etc. Never again.
