'Original Camping' is a concept created by Alain Dominique Perrin, where campers can sleep in canvas and wood units that blend comfort with a back-to-nature feel.

The concept has proven a European success story with access to the finest sites in France and a growing international clientele. Alain manages four high quality campsites in France, with Camping du Midi, at Noirmoutier, recently being awarded four-star status. The park has been extensively renovated to create a beautiful campsite complete with swimming pools, entertainment, bar, kids' clubs and sailing school.

The campsite also offers touring pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents, for those who prefer a more traditional camping holiday.
