Camping LE VILLAGE PARISIEN****

Varreddes

As soon as you arrive you will be greeted by a dubious character who will be able to plant the scenery as long as he is integrated into it. In a bucolic setting you will learn how to hunt the hedgehog, set fire to the gas can, survive without water (unplanned cuts), wild mechanics and many other outdoor activities. Shoe stealing is the national sport, you will be able to observe a lot of trophies piled up on the mobile homes. We will take a tour of the turbulent waters (yes I'm talking about the pool) where the swimming pool of fully dressed individuals is not without reminding you of the boats of the Ganga, a total day off. Don't miss the general parade between the 18th and the most positive point of our campsite.

Running away

Really horrible. we wanted to come back for the second time 7 years ago. and what a disappointment. everything is very dirty and yet usually I don't care. dirty and noisy. no respect for the rest of the others until 2am. and necessarily the money is important so we filled in dirty Mobil home and near the restaurant or the animation screams until 00:00/1h. our old home furniture was not clean and had no power outlet was just 1 click which obviously overload. the navos no normal housing.. she told us you because it was burning.

It's horrible.

Our accommodation was easy to find and sufficient. We had most of the items we needed for the week. We did bring our own kettle and some plastic beakers for the kids to save them breaking any glasses!

Beds were comfortable enough. We could definitely have done with better or more pillow so would recommend bringing your own. We ended up using the backrests from the sofa.

The shower room linked onto the master bedroom smelt awful on arrival. We thought perhaps it was where the door had been left closed so we aired out the shower and the room. However this did not solve the problem and the next morning it smelt the same… We bought an air freshener to try and improve this.

Kids enjoyed the pools onsite. Getting a place to sit past midday was an issue, you needed to be alert and whip a chair as soon as someone left it. A few days into our stay the ‘green slide pool’ became a bit murky and so we avoided that one and used the outdoor pool instead.

Didn’t try out kids club. Evening entertainment was okay. Food onsite was okay - they tended to get very busy and sometimes the wait for food was very long.

There’s quite a long list of cleaning jobs on checkout. These had not all been done when we arrived and so we left the accommodation as we found it - well better than we had found it but we did not do the jobs such as rinsing patio furniture.

Overall, we enjoyed our week’s stay. Probably wouldn’t stay again as I feel there are other places that might suit our family better.

Family of four - one week stay.

Underground, when we arrived, the dirty laundry from the predecessors was still on the terrace and was not picked up despite repeated announcements. After the first night we discovered cockroaches and then at 2pm we also found bed bugs, so we left immediately!! At the info you weren't really surprised when we reported the insect! Ging for us at all. In the rest, the refund still waits for you. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Alas and speak English too, only 2 employees broke, so you're pretty laid off without French.

Insect alarm

We booked this site as a base for Disney and Paris which did work well for us. We booked one of their premium lodge type accommodation (it was called the Raoul for 6).

On arrival you are asked to park up and wait in a queue near the entrance gate to be allocated your room which isn’t ideal.  When we got to our lodge it wasn’t cleaned properly (dirty cloth hanging over one of the wooden rails, pans left outside with a broken chair, glass/mirrors and shower doors filthy and all of the cups, glasses, plates etc were chalky, greasy with remnants of food still on them like they had been run through the dishwasher without a tablet). It looked like it had been abandoned mid clean, one of the kitchen drawers was broken and our BBQ hadn’t been delivered. We reported these issues to reception and was told it would be sorted. However, on returning from the supermarket nothing had been done. We went back to reception to be told the cleaning team had gone home (i said I would clean it but would not be doing it again when we leave which they accepted).  Once the place had been cleaned it was alright and the air con was really good (but having to clean the place is not what you want to do on arrival).

Our BBQ was eventually delivered too late for day 1 and when we went to use it on day 2 found it didn’t have enough gas to stay lit… given they were 2 of the only 3 days we wanted to use it we elected for a refund (which we are still waiting for).

I found all staff to be very friendly, not great at their jobs but they were friendly. 

The few days we had on site were spent by the pool which the kids loved (great slides) but poolside could do with some sun loungers. 

Overall, the park isn’t very well kept, quite a lot of it looks tired, staff friendly but incompetent, pool/slides were alright. It’s a shame because I think the place has loads of potential.

Would i return? Absolutely not… if you have booked a visit (past the point of return), do yourself a favour:

- book some days offsite
- pack cleaning products, dishwasher tablets, kettle and a toaster (we read reviews so went prepared)
- the Aldi in Meaux is loads cheaper than the Lidl and better stocked
- don’t book a BBQ if you plan to use it within a few days of arrival 
-  Wi-Fi doesn’t work (should have been included in our package but signal didn’t reach us) others have to pay don’t waste your money
- don’t expect much in the way of service

I hope this helps.

Not the best

We checked in yesterday (26.8.23) and checked out less than 24 hours later. The accommodation was filthy. The bedroom looked like a prison cell with no shelving or bedside tables. The toilet didn’t flush, the settee was broken. The bathroom was filthy with hairs, dried toothpaste and other questionable dirt. Cobwebs and dead flies everywhere. The kitchen was basic with dirt and grime stuck to the walls, floors were filthy.


Disgusting accommodation

We were four, the size of the right mobile home, impeccable cleanliness in every room, great swimming pools and slides for fun, diverse animations for teenagers and adults alike, lovely dining, service and listening staff, and we had a great week there!

Parisian camping information

Never experienced anything like this place, we left after 2 nights it was that bad. People emptying their toilet waste all over the floor where camping was supposed to get their water, told security who told us to still get water from there, we refused and the mess was still there when we left. We had a problem with our hook up, asked for help but they wouldn’t. Bar staff and security more interested in getting drunk than serving customers. No where to empty toilet waste if you are camping. No toilets or water points in the actual camping area. The little girls toilet had a large hole which was viewable from the men’s toilets. Toilets and showers disgusting, didn’t see them get cleaned. Security screamed in a ladies face and chucked a bucket at her car because she drove through a barrier before they told her she could. The final straw for us was when we arrived back after a great day at Disneyland at 12.02am to be told we wasn’t allowed to bring our car in and it had to stay outside, we questioned this to be surrounded by 3 security men steaming and shouting at us and showing us a piece of paper that was in French so couldn’t read. Had to get up at 4am to get my car when they reopened the gate as was worried it would get hit. Was told we had to get out the pool after 10 mins because men can’t wear swimming shorts, have to be tight tiny shorts or pants, they conveniently sold them on-site. We told reception before we left to be told they would pass this on but not sure if they did. It is very obvious they don’t like English people there, every English person we met said the same. It may be close to Disneyland but it isn’t worth it! Please don’t waste your money on this site. 

Do not go here, disgusting!

It's a campsite as expensive as it's crowded, where the bathroom cleaning shines through its absence, where the few store plots that are there are crammed (when I was there even though it didn't rain those days) and what's worse.... It's close to the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport headquarters and the noise of planes is constant day and night.

Noisy camping is not easy.

We have stayed in many French campsites but nothing like this place.   Initially on arrival we found the camping pitches at the furthest point of the site.  The access to the pitches with a caravan was awful.   There is no drinking water on the camping area.  Only water available for water butt was hot water from the wash up area or wc water from the mobile home service point at the top of a set of steps or a slope.  Not ideal.  We stayed for 10 days during that time the toilet and shower facilities remained dirty throughout.  Although it was a perfect site for Disney, we wished we'd only booked a few days and moved on to enjoy our holiday elsewhere.
