We are in the need of some warm and sunny days.

We were thinking of packing our tent and kids and drive to France and spend some nice, warm days there.

But: is this do-able in August?

I know it is high season, will it be packed and I need to pre-book everything?

And: where should we go (not all the way down south)?

The internet offers far too much, I need a smaller radius to focus on.

Your experience and advice would be much appreciated

You do need to book! We are camping in Brittony. I booked a month ago and there were two plots left. It's only our second camping trip to France so can't offer recommendations on campsites. One of the other places where I'd love to camp is ile d'Oleron, which is further down the Atlantic Coast.
the lot and the cele valleys (just east of the dordogne) are lovely and quiet (hardly any Brits) and warm - lots of smaller municipal campsites (nice, by the river, small pools) that probably don't need booking) you can get a good app that shows all campsites nearby...Archie's Camping

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
