Centre Parcs have a site in Sologne ......... but you already knew that ........... Eurodisney? Have you tried googling Holiday Parks in Northern France? You might be better off in BELGIUM - there are other chain of holiday parks - Dorado or something?

Thanks for the reply- so far google hasn't come up with much. Gran Dorado, Sun Parks etc have all been bought up by Centre Parcs and the prices have rocketed. I would guess what I am after doesn't exist now outside of the Centre Parcs brand.

You have found out that what you want is Cener Parcs

As for other places you won't find water parks as such there may be campsites that have a pool complex but most will be outdoors

also you may find lodges difficult to find whereas static caravans are found on most larger French Campsites
try these search sites for ideas

There is a company called Camping Cheques who also operate a system for people who do not have a tourer to go away called Holiday Cheques via their off shoot Kawan Villages http://www.kawan-villages.com/en/article/with-holiday-cheque-from-35eur-a.html which at €35, €40, €45 or €50 per night for up to 5 persons,in low season

I hope these sites can help you find what you would like but just remember that you are looking for 4-5 star sites anything lower you may not find the facilities you are asking for but I doubt you will find a huge water complex indoors outside of those money grabbing sites

Thanks Gray, I will follow up the links, you never know. The problem with October half term is that it is late, infact running into November so we need an all weather site, also if the cold weather hits, static caravans can be a bit drafty hence feeling safer going for a lodge.

Thanks again for the info

I must add that most campsites close down during October, and certainly indoor pools are rare over here ......... sorry! Centre Parcs must be making a mint!

we recently stayed here : http://www.centerparcs.com/EN/GB/villages/lac_dailette in a 3 bed premier sleeping 6.

a lovely site! we had good weather but it would still be fab in winter IMO ( just pack your waterproofs lol)

the aquamundo is fabulous and easy to spend a half - full day in there! my boys 12 and 6 didnt want to leave !
bike hire is reasonable and some nice restaurants and cocktails

much cheaper than UK CP's, where prices are shocking in school hols

we booked using tesco clubcard deals via frenchlife,which inc eurotunnel travel

there is a Carrefour approx 20 mins away, in Laon
