hello, my family and i went to brittany, france last july,and we stayed in carnac,which was quite a good base,we booked through key camps and stayed in a caravan on the les menhirs campsite! which we really enjoyed,i surfed with my daughter at location called quiberon which is located about 3 miles out of carnac,there was a choice of three or four beaches in that location,that were suitible and safe.no crowds and really clean beaches,was just like cornwall but less crowds!! but you will have to go further south to get consistant waves that time of year, unless you get lucky!! <or another summer like the last one!!>

Not sure where in the country you live but you could always get a cheap ryanair/easyjet flight to biarritz . Popular with the surfing set .

Thankyou for the info Pirate I do know the area you mention but after our last trip two years ago I think we will try to go a bit further down to have some chance of better weather.To be honest lynwestie we have been looking at the Biarritz area but as yet we are still looking to see if any of the camping companies i.e. Keycamp or Thomson etc go there.We could go by ferry from here in Plymouth via Santandare or as you say even look at flying down .Once again thankyou for your information.
Cheers Papa Charlie
