Siblu - real French holiday parcs

Siblu is the only UK company to own holiday parcs in France. This means that we can offer you a whole lot more for your Destination Cooking holiday - including cooking courses with local chefs.

We own 14 parcs in France, in fantastic holiday destinations including Normandy, Brittany, throughout the west coast, Loire Valley, and across the Mediterranean coast. We also work with 12 hand-picked siblu selection parcs, in France, Spain and Italy.

Our on-parc teams have close links with a wide variety of local chefs and restaurants, so we can help you arrange Destination Cooking courses during your holiday. To find out more about any of our courses, contact destinationcooking@siblu.com.

Every siblu parc has a huge range of facilities for families to enjoy, including pools, sports pitches and three FREE children's clubs for 1 - 14 year olds. Plus we organise great evening entertainment with dedicated teams to entertain you and the children.

We have outstanding pool complexes including waterslides, waterfalls, waterchutes, paddling pools, splashzones, heated indoor pools and spa baths. All swimming pools are fully supervised by trained lifeguards.

We have the widest range of holiday home accommodation available - from luxurious holiday homes, to apartments and lodges.

With over 30 years experience of providing great family holidays Eurocamp knows that quality time together as a family is precious. Enjoying the whole outdoors experience, with freedom to do as you please when you please, provides some of life's most special memories. Most of us lead very busy lives with no time to just have fun in a relaxed atmosphere - Eurocamp offers all this and more. You can choose from lively and active parcs or relaxing and rural ones. Enjoy making new friends in the easygoing ambience of the parcs, where there is space for the children to play in safety from dawn 'til dusk - and lots of time for Mum and Dad to sit and chat over a glass of wine or a family barbecue in the evenings outside the accommodation.

Choose from 158 parcs across Europe, with over 85 in France alone. There are amazing swimming pool complexes with water slides, jacuzzis and spas, lots of activities such as tennis, mini golf, mountain biking, horse riding, archery, football and golf, plus scuba diving lessons, windsurfing, aqua gyms, water polo, catamaran sailing, and rafting. All this and free kids clubs six days a week at many parcs means there's fun for all the family.


Surprisingly different

The first thing you'll notice is the quality of our accommodation. Because which ever of our luxury mobile homes you plump for, you find the same attention to detail that makes Al Fresco a real home from home.

Our spacious and tastefully designed interiors come equipped with high quality furnishings, proper beds, lashing of hot water and air conditioning. While outside every home you can eat, drink, be merry or just doze off on your private veranda.

Get into a different way of experiencing the regions of France. Oh yes, everything about a Thomson Al Fresco holiday is different - all 27 of our French parcs are hand picked to provide the best combination of fun, facilities and fantastic surroundings. From quite rural retreats ideal for couples and young families to more vibrant settings with plenty of nightlife on and off the parc.

And on top of all that, you'll be pleasantly surprised by our prices too, honest, straightforward pricing with no nonsense.
