Where in France for 3wks in July


How would we fare out weather wise being so north of France in July. What way do temperatures tend to average around at time of year? Also what kind of rainfall could we possibly have?
 
For renting in france, VBRO, Holiday Rentals, Holiday Lettings, Owners Direct are all very good sites. Also just Google and find individual owner's websites. We stayed both in Carnac and St John de Mont many years ago in mobile home sites. Great facilities for children in most of them.
 
Have decided we might do 2weeks in an "Apartment" on a camping site to keep the kids happy and maybe book a house for a further week in a quieter area. Any recommendations on the camping site. Criteria would be
1. Have to have "Apartment" accommodation. Need the "bit of concrete under me".
2. Preferably close to a beach.
3. Within say 70-80miles of Rennes Airport
Many thanks to all who have taken time to give their recommendations.
 
If you were prepared to travel a few miles further, I can really recommend a village called [broken link removed] - Belambra have a holiday village there with direct access to the beach. We stayed there last year & had the weather been better (we did go at the start of May), it would have been heaven on earth. Loads of things to do in the area & a fabulous beach for kids.
 
Looks absolustely fab BabaDuck. Have searched their website but am I right in saying there is no swimming pool?
 
Last year we stayed in St Nicholas des Eaux about 40min to an hour from the beaches. Flew from Waterford to Lorient with Aer Arann (think they might fly from Galway and Cork to Lorient also). The weather in July was a bit hit and miss, think Ireland and add on a few degrees. Have a look at the site www.lamaisonmagique.com

The village itself is nice though you would need to get out and about as there wouldn't be enough to keep yourself occupied for more than a few days.
 
That's the only minus - because it is right beside the beach, they don't have a pool (and trust me, it's where we spend most of our time) But to be honest the beach there is beautiful & perfect for kids as it's very flat and sandy.

I'm just looking at Google Maps & I would definitely opt for the La Baule area as it's slightly closer travel-wise & as it's further south, chances are that the weather is better. We've always stayed in P&V Royal Park which is midway between La Baule & Pornichet. It's a holiday complex with two pools, a kids pool & 2 mins from the most amazing beach. Another alternative is Belambra Les Salines in Batz-sur-Mer... about 15 mins drive north of La Baule
 
Absolutely recommend the stretch of the Med close to Beziers. Fly to Rodez or Carcassonne with Ryanair and drive the hour or two. Have a look at Valras Plage, very French resort with lovely beach and playground on the beach.

Have looked into this and flights to La Rochelle with Ryanair coming in at 962euro.

It is interesting checking today's Ryanair prices that you can now get these flights for between €400 and €600 on most weeks in July, rising to €700 on worst weeks. August is even cheaper.

It seems to pay to delay booking with Ryanair.
