Sabliere is well sign
posted and easy to find following the brochure directions.
The site is situated on
the southern hillside overlooking the river Ceze and has a steep
terraced aspect.

The site is split into
3 areas basically top middle and bottom. Due to the incline and tree
growth there are a lot of pitches that catch very little sun
particularly those at the bottom as the sun lowers over the top ridge at
1600hrs (Aug) 1530hrs (Sept) it is worth if possible searching out a
pitch and returning to reception to ask for a change if you do not like
the one allocated.

 
Half way down the site
is the pool complex and bar Eden. This area has the two pools a bar area
serving hot/cold/alcohol drinks and snacks. There are also facilities
for activities the site runs including pottery/photography/archery/ping
pong/etc and the library. There are film shows, in French, and
children’s activities. There are also 3 guided walks and it is possible
to book canoe/horse riding and other activities.

The pools are both very
good, one is heated and capable of being covered, the other is an open
infinity pool and both overlook the valley and opposite hillside.
We tried the restaurant
more than once first time the service was very poor. It was worse the
second time not only was the service bad but the food cold and poorly
presented. So no tip and no repeat custom. On both occasions it was not
confined to us there were a lot of complaints. Clothing was the norm in
the restaurant but not obligatory and nudity commonplace.
By comparison the
‘snack shack’ at Fauvette which served everything with chips
sausage/chicken/burger etc was polite efficient and for what you got
tasty good value meals. Wine/beer and hot drinks were available and
nudity the norm. We happily used Fauvettes when to lazy to cook or go
out for a meal but I would not recommend the restaurant.

Sabliere is well worth a visit provided you get the
right pitch. You can spend as much or as little time on site as you
wish, keep yourself entertained or just laze away in the sun with a beer
or wine and the odd dip in the pool.
