The aqua complex on the La Capricieuse campsite is the most amazing facility on this 5-star campsite, a member of the renowned high-end camping franchise, Yelloh! Village. With a surface area of 1,500 m², this temple of water fun consists of an impressive indoor heated swimming pool, enabling you to swim and make the most of the delights of water throughout the entire season, but also hydrotherapy benches, Jacuzzis and aquatic games. These provide a delightful, colourful touch, perfect for the very young, in surroundings which furthermore comprise greenery in abundance.
Outdoors, the very young will make the most of water games, whilst older children can swim in a large heated pool. The sunbathing area with numerous sunbeds, tempts you to rest peacefully in the shade of a parasol. Are you feeling a little peckish? You only have to walk a few steps to reach the bar and restaurant area on the La Capricieuse campsite. The attention to detail with the decor, furniture and a tastefully designed menu, enables the entire family to find culinary bliss and share cheerful and convivial times at the table!
La Capricieuse is an extraordinary children’s playground. Throughout the entire day, they can as they wish jump on the bouncy castle or climb across the “accro-game” adventure play trail on the restaurant rooftop. They are able to make friends by taking part in craft, creative and sports activities at the kids club (for those aged 5-7) or the juniors club (for those aged 8-12). Even babies may explore the “Baby zone” on the first floor of the games room, under the watchful eye of their parents. Every evening, under no circumstances will children miss the mini disco with Yellita, the campsite mascot!

Discover the Côte de Nacre coast and Normandy’s appeal
The Calvados department, a land of history and countryside became the theatre for a significant event during the Second World War: the allied Normandy landings of 6th June 1944 and ensuing Battle of Normandy. Today you can visit the the D-Day museums and Atlantic wall (built by the Germans for this operation), Omaha Beach and Utah Beach memorials and British, German, American and Canadian military cemeteries. Should you go to Caen, be sure to visit the Mémorial de Caen, a museum dedicated to 20th century history and peace.
Your getaway in Normandy will be the chance to look around the impressive Etretat cliffs on the Côte d'Albâtre (Seine Maritime coastline between Le Havre and Le Tréport), and walk around the delightful seaside resort of Honfleur. The reflections in the water in the old harbour (Vieux Bassin) and light play create a magical atmosphere here. Deauville, Trouville sur Mer and Cabourg are also iconic and romantic family destinations, to visit at least once in your lifetime.
When staying on the La Capricieuse campsite, you can go to the famous Abbaye du Mont Saint Michel abbey, which defies the sea on the rock here, impressing tourists coming from all round the world. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, guaranteeing visitors magnificent views, whose landscapes vary with the tides...
