Campsite In Brittany

[bednobs]

hi has anyone been to a camp site in Brittany this year? you know one of those ones with chalets/caravans and pitches and swimming pools and so on

I've not been but, on the assumption that you're seeking recommendations and reviews, I strongly commend this website to you:

We went to one booked through Siblu a couple of years back and it was fab. Check some out and then check out trip advisor.

HI, WHAT I ACTUALLY WANTED TO ASK ABOUT WAS ATTIRE IN THE SWIMMING POOL. lOTS OF WEBSITES SAY THAT MEN MUST WEAR LYCRA (SPEEDO) TYPE TRUNKS - HOW RIGOROUSLY IS THIS ADHERED TO?

[bednobs]

pants - sorry about caps

I've never seen that anywhere, sher - how can they rule what swimwear the chaps wear?

[bednobs]

it says "for hygeine reasons" but what on earth would that mean? less likely to wee if you are in speedos????

[puzzled54]

I have been to camp sites in France where the speedo rule is enforced 'for hygiene reasons'

[shoota]

The campsite I was at in the summer had the same rule so I bought some speedo's.
Fortunately the local populace was spared because the beach was so close that I went there all the time.
However I did see some youngsters in shorts in the pool with no apprent problem.
(I do know a campsite where the rule is no clothing at all if you don't want to wear lycra.....)

[puzzled54]

I wonder if some men walk around all day in their baggy shorts and then wear the same ones in the pool
I have also been to pools in Spain where everyone has to wear a swimming hat

[bednobs]

i reckon it's much much more of a health hazard for some men to be seen in speedos.

[shoota]

I think the reason is that if someone drops a log they're supposed to drain the entire pool which is obviously expensive to clean and refill.
Naturist camps would just hook it out and get on with it.....

*Chortlesplutter* really shoota??

[shoota]

Erm.....or so I've been told by a man in the pub!

Just read this on another site

... a subject of pool hygiene applicable to France and other European countries often raised - the idea being that speedos will be worn afresh to swim and will not therefore be dirty shorts with pockets which have also been used as street wear.
