Centre de Vacances 5 Étoiles: our night before whale watching

A lovely place to stay, even with a great deal of rain.

We stayed at Centre de Vacances 5 Étoiles on the night before our whale-watching trip. It was a very good overnight stop for us.
There was a lot of rain, so we could not spend as much time outside as we might have liked. Even so, we managed a short wander and saw animals.

The combination of accommodation, a farm setting and an animal refuge gives the property a character beyond simply having a room for the night.


Do not confuse the accommodation’s location with the departure pier for a cruise. Check the actual meeting point and allow time to drive there.
For us, the place offered both a useful overnight base and something enjoyable to see around the accommodation.
In better weather there may be more to explore, but we are not claiming to have tried every activity. Check the options available during your stay.
Practical notes
We stayed one night before whale watching.
Confirm the cruise departure point separately.
