Berny Riviere La Croix du Vieux Pont Review

Overall Rating

Fabulous Pool Complex. Lots for the kids to do. Good base for seeing the local area, Paris and Disneyland Paris

Not many restaurants in walking distance if you want a night out.

Having read some of the reviews we were a bit worried about this site, but having booked last minute, with Eurocamp, beggars couldn't be choosers.
We needn't have been worried. We were in a mobile home, overlooking the largest of the three lakes. Our pitch was enormous.
The pool complex is fabulous for this kind of site. It has an indoor heated pool (roof gets pulled back in good weather), two outdoor pools, a heated indoor kids pool and two waterslides (also a jacuzzi).
The restaurant is certainly not cordon bleu, but serves reasonable enough food if you want a basic meal (pizza, lasagne, chicken and chips) - this is a self catering holiday though. Take-away is reasonably priced and the food isn't bad.
Bar is great and is right at the side of the pool. It has a basement disco which caters for the younger kids earlier in the night and the bigger ones later on. It has an upstairs games room with half a dozen pool tables, air hockey etc etc etc so if you give the kids a few euros you can enjoy a drink whilst they entertain themselves.
The larger lake has a fabulous facility for the kids with pedalos, kayaks, canoes, bouncy castle, trampolines, table tennis, mini go karts.........
The smaller lake is for swimming and has a beach where families with toddlers tend to go, but it is nice to go for an afternoon siesta by the lake bar!!! - the lake has a roped off area which is no more than a metre deep so toddlers can enjoy it safely. It also has a lifeguard on duty so safety is well catered for.
Some reviews have mentioned a smell........there was only one, very small area of the site, where we got a whiff of a smell when walking past..... we never smelt it anywhere else, and certainly not on our pitch, restaurant, bar, pool or anywhere else of significance.
The site is perfectly situated for visiting Parc Asterix, Disneyland Paris, Paris Centre and many other places of interest.
The site has its only luxury coach, and offers trips to Disneyland, Paris Centre, Rheims and some others - Driving to Disneyland etc is easy, but I would highly recommend paying a few extra euros to take the coach into Paris as it isn't a place you want to be driving to if you can avoid it !!!!!
The site also has a shop and bakery, which is not too over priced like some places you can go, but there is also a hypermarket only 5 minutes drive away.
I would highly recommend this site - don't be put off by other reviews.
