A surge of solidarity to save a campsite “after this catastrophic storm” in -Atlantique

Unfortunately, we suffered from Storm Kirk and we are powerless in the face of this depression! Following this unimaginable flood, we have no electricity, therefore no access to our computers, our telephone line and our data network. We will do our best to contact each owner as quickly as possible.

Stream out of its bed

Thursday October 10, 2024, the day after the passage of storm Kirk, a sad spectacle presented itself to the managers of Thar-Cor in Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef. This three-star family campsite, with 247 pitches, has literally taken on water. Half of the places were flooded lamented Anne Gineau, co-manager. The campsite is bordered by a stream which has burst its banks. The reception, bar, toilets and part of the mobile homes were damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties to report.

Now it’s time for administration, particularly insurance. This Monday, October 14, we still have our heads in the handlebars we emphasize at the campsite. In terms of cleaning, thanks to mobilization, things are going well. But we have so much paperwork to fill out! We can count on the Outdoor Hotel Federation for help.
