Banish back to school blues with a last-minute holiday deal

The summer holidays are well underway, but there’s still time for families to grab a last-minute holiday bargain, before the kids go back to school.

Family favourite, Eurocamp, is offering excellent discounts on selected holidays departing between 27 August and 2 September – including the August bank holiday weekend – which are sure to beat the new term blues.

Eurocamp’s St Avit Loisirs parc is a great choice for a family holiday, offering a host of first class facilities, including a fantastic indoor and outdoor swimming pool complex, with waterslide and 'river rapid'.

Within the picturesque parc, traditional Périgord style buildings house the parc reception, bar, well-stocked shop and cosy restaurant, where families can enjoy delicious homemade regional dishes.

For those who want to explore, a boat trip on the River Dordogne is a must - offering fabulous views of the region's cliff-side châteaux and honey-coloured villages. The medieval town of Sarlat and cliff top castle at Beynac are also just a short drive away.

A seven night summer holiday at Eurocamp’s St. Avit Loisirs parc, in the Dordogne (arriving 28 August 2010), now costs just £499 for the whole family, staying in a 2 bedroom ‘Superior’ mobile home with decking (sleeps up to seven), inclusive of a mid-week return Dover-Calais crossing - saving a massive £263.

Le Clarys-Plage is another extremely attractive parc, which is lively all season. It’s the perfect option for families who enjoy splashing around in the sun; with its fabulous swimming pool complex, with sun terraces and a selection of waterslides. There’s also a choice of wonderful sandy beaches just a short stroll away.

The parc also organises a variety of family-friendly activities and regular entertainment. And with an excellent children’s play area, plus tennis, archery and bike hire, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained.
