Two campsites on the French Riviera, two different holidays. Camping Riviera d’Azur<\/strong>, in Saint-Aygulf (Fr\u00e9jus), is a large, lively 5-star<\/strong> family resort set back from the coast: a vast water park, kids’ clubs, a beach shuttle. Au Paradis des Campeurs<\/strong>, in Les Issambres, is a human-scale 4-star campsite<\/strong>: calm, leafy, open all year, right by the sea, a 2-minute walk<\/strong> from La Gaillarde beach. The right choice depends on the kind of holiday you’re after.<\/p>\n
