Might need to look out for you, Pastor Eyes 😀

Does anyone know if it is permitted (or feasible with the ground) to roller skate round the park rather than cycle??

I don't see why not - the roads are nearly all asphalt surface apart from the last few yards entry to the beach and a few other secondary paths.

You can see the rules that apply at Euronat (in French) at http://www.euronat.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/R%C3%A9glement-int%C3%A9rieur.pdf
Point 9 ends with a paragraph stating that "no form of traffic, including bicycles, rolller skates etc. is allowed within the pedestrian area in the commercial centre".
Obviously if roller skates are not allowed there, this implies that they are allowed everywhere else where it's feasible. The rules appear to be that where bicycles are allowed, then roller skates are.

Well, we're here....and LOVING IT. We had to go off site today and I was gutted that we had to go textile again  ;D

Though I'm disappointed by how unfriendly some folk are. We try to say Bonjour to everyone we pass on the way to and from our accommodation and a lot of folk just blank us. >:( Very rude...

Great to hear you made it to Euronat and are enjoying yourselves!!

We must have passed you going the other way through the tunnel on Saturday, as we were returning to the UK after a short trip to the continent.  😉

As you are in a chalet, don't forget to take head & shoulders pictures with you for your passes. If you don't it is quite a hassle to get them taken and printed locally. With the passes you will get free access to the excellent pool.

Is this only needed for those in chalets?  May I ask why this is?

good evening  m.

  Everyone has to have one  to get into the swimming pool. and I think its a security thing as well. we usually take our own passport size photos with us and they put it in a little plastic see through tag. They do have a camera there but its more expensive and a bit of a faff after a long trip when all you want to do is get pitched up and your clobber off.

  enjoy yourself

We forgot our Id. pictures for Euronat last year and it was no problem to use the photo booth installed in one of the reception buildings.
The only potential problem is not having the right change for the machine (as it always is anywhere) but reception are always willing to change banknotes if necessary.

Dragonlady,
Did you enjoy Euronat as it would be good to hear how you got on. I assume you are back. Also, did you visit Clover Leaf Spa on the way there or back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Euronat.  So relaxed.  Didn't get the chance to go to Clover Spa.

Thinking of trying the big event that's on in September if I can remember where it is!! Will probably go to the Glasgow swim from time to time but it's just so awkward  (and expensive) for us to get to.

Hi shortsboi.

We saw that but we weren't sure about the bunkhouse bit 😀
