Je ne me souviens plus des dates exactes mais c'était une semaine en mars ou peut-être avril 2026 (désolée car j'ai fait un séjour au camping voisin à la même époque donc les dates sont un peu confuses). Les dates mentionnées sont des dates par défaut. J'adore le logement pêcheur, un peu vétuste mais tout le confort y était malgré tout. De toutes les résidences et campings c'est bien la résidence Saint Brice à Arès que je fréquente depuis plus de 20 ans qui est ma préférée, c'est un peu "mon bébé" !
