Good holiday ,
Arrived at the holiday park on 12/6/23 in a thunder storm, We have been to Cantobre many times before . The following day the sun was shinning, I walked to the shop from the mobile ands pleased to see the area was covered in blue, yellow and red flowers with hundreds of orchids. I could see swallow tailed butterflies, humming bird moths and a large number of other butterflies and bees feeding on the wild flowers. Later that morning five workmen arrived on site with industrial grass trimmers. During the next four days the workmen destroyed every wild flower, every orchid and sapling was cut down leaning a desert of short grass, The grass was cut so short on some banks it left the brown soil showing. We had to put up with the noise of the trimmers for four days, but worst of all wast we never saw any butterflies , insects ,wild flowers on site.during the remainder of our stay. We first visited Cantobre when the bread was delivered to the pitches and the old donkey was kept in the pen, it is normally a beautiful holiday park in a beautiful location, what possessed the management to allow the destruction of that beautiful wild life and the destruction of so many bees, butterflies ? after three days of the men destroying the wild flowers I complained to the manager, one of the reasons he gave was, "people like to see the grass short" He also gave other reasons but they did not justify the destruction. My wife and I drove 900 miles from the UK because Cantobre has to be the most beautiful and relaxing holiday camp in France. I do hope that this destruction is not repeated, Terence Monahan I would normally give 10 for neatness of the grounds, I would gladly recommend this site but please help the environment not destroy it, Manicured grass on a site like Cantbre is out of place
