We thank you all to have come to discover our beautiful region !
We will remember the danses of the children, the wonderful sunsets at the campsite, the animations of Marion and the home-made desserts of Amandine without forgetting Christiane and Clément who have helped us everyday to welcome you

We mow the lawn then mow again and mow again the lawn ... even more this year because the sun continues to play hide-and-seek.
To resume, it takes us 2 days to mow the whole campsite and we have to do it every 7 to 10 days - plus 1 or to days more to take care of the slopes.

1st week : Gaëlle mow the lawn for the 4th time since we opened the campsite. In the meantime, Ludovic takes care of the slopes. The sun on its side plays hide-and-seek.
2nd week : We build the barrier of wood between the garage and place 52. We dismount the plays to be replaced at the river and at the allee du rouge gorge.
3rd week : We dig the foundations of the plays and level the ground. We install the rocking plays.
4th week : We finish to install the plays ... already used by the kids.

1st week : At last, we finish to renovate the sanitary blocks. We sow again the lawn : the one we put in october didn’t manage to grow because of the rigourous winter
2nd week : Multi-work week : joints of the terrace, renovation of the roads, collecting of the deadwood in all the campsite, repairs of the lamps, installation of new lamps at the restaurant, ...
3rd week : It is time to reopen the water pipes within the campsite : it is necessary to reassemble all the taps and to repair the leaks. We also repair the roof of the terrace which tended to leak.
4th week : Set-up of a pylon for wifi - cleaning and restarting of the swimmingpool - Many deliveries and shoppings ... The campsite is OPEN

1st week : Plumbing, electricity and renovation of the cells in the sanitary blocks. Training of the firemen to fire-fight and assistance to persons at the campsite (Ludovic is a member of the firestation of Eclassan)
2nd week : We install the walls, the lamps, the toilets and the wash-hand basins in the sanitary blocks of the swimming pool and of the reception which are then ready for the season.
3rd week : We finish the works in the sanitary blocks down of the campsite. We also continue to renovate the ping-pong tables. Spring is at last arrived, flowers appear !
4th week : We persue the renovation of the tillings of the restaurant and we start to renovate the sanitary blocks up on the campsite. It will take us one more week to finish it all.

1st week : We replace the tilings on the floor and on the walls in the toilets of the swimming pool, the children's bathroom and the toilets of the reception desk. We also start to replace the broken tiling of the terrace and to renovate the ping-pong tables.
2nd week : We continue and finish to put the tilling on the walls. We also remove one more time snow from the road. People say that we will have snow episodes until end of march. Sign of a beautiful summer ?
3rd week : Holidays :-)
4th week : Ludovic spends the whole week at the firemen school to learn how to fight against fire. During this time, Gaëlle makes the joints of the tilings.

1st week : It is impossible to collect the leaves because it keeps on snowing and snowing. Ludovic has then decided to equip the tractor with a snow-plough. We build a shelter for the wood stocked for 2 years.
2nd week : We finish to cut and stock the trunks. It finally represents 43m3 of wood.
3rd week : Ludovic finally manages to finish collecting the sheets while Gaëlle breaks the walls of the sanitary blocks. Eh yes! unfortunately it is often necessary to demolish before making !
4th week : End of the destruction of the old sanitary blocks, preparation of the surfaces and purchases (it is not easy to find the same tiling as the one used 6 years ago)

1st week : After one month of rest, we have removed the bandages of Chaipas and she has left the hunt. She doesn't run for the moment but she is again the "chief" of the goats.
2nd week : Leaves are blown away in order to prepare the collecting.
3rd week : The collecting of the leaves is cancelled. Snow is arrived to wish us a merry christmas. We then prepare the renewal of the sanitary blocks we plan to do beginning january.
4th week : Collecting of the leaves - we will need one more week to collect them all ...

1st week : Chaipas is confined to bed - she severely broke her right back leg. As nothing special exists to cure goats, the veterinary surgeon arranged
a bandage for dogs. That seems to hold … we hope that Chaipas will get better …
2nd week : We trim the edges. Chaipas seems to cure, Caramel takes advantage of the situation to become the "leader" of the goats.
3rd week : The hedges are collected. Boutrie is increasingly curious to know why Chaipas is locked up in the hut of the goats. She spends her time trying to enter the hut. What a chatting girl !!
4th week : It's raining almost everyday. We have then decided to delay the collecting of the leaves and to do some works at home.

1st week : Now that we have renewed the chalets and done the inventories of all the rentals, it is time "to clean" the campsite. We have to collect stones and branches left on the ground and also to remove the clothes lines, the traps with wasps and the refuses left on the sites …
2nd week : We keep on putting all in order for winter : great cleaning of the kitchen, the refrigerators, the freezers,…, storage of the tables, the chairs, the trampoline, the dustbins, the deckchairs,…, purging of all the water points of the swimmingpool, of the pitches, in the chalets, in the sanitary blocks, ...
3rd week: We finish arranging and we sow the new lawn. It is time because it seems that the winter will be early and pretty cold.
4th week : Holidays :-)

Beginning september, we start to redo some works slightly with the installation of rollers for water pipes. But starting mid-september, we have a 1st emergency to deal with : o repare the chalets at the Allée des chèvres naines. We have to cure the wood structures, to replace the damaged planks and to paint the whole chalets. That is to say almost one week of work for every chalet. Hopefully, Nounours, has just arrived from Sandrine's country :-)

The weather is still very sunny and hot for the joy of the children and their parents who play in the river. And so even if the river is now at an exceptionnal low level since the Green Ardeche has entered the red zone of dryness.

It has been sunny then sunny then sunny again ...
Now it has been almost 3 months without rain which is very exceptionnal. Then the river level is very low
But it has not stopped the children's show - they have done it every thursday
Congratulations to all the children who have participated !

Aaahhhh the Ardéchoise contest, we love it ...
On the whole 13427 participants ! At the Oasis, a horde of cyclists drinking water and eating pasta ... well ... officially ...
We adore ... all ... the atmosphere, the sparkling glasses, the cyclist socks with their grandmother look and the tight clothes !

It is hot and sunny : the swimmingpool is at 27°C
In the valley, farmers are gathering cherries - at the Oasis, during the "Ascension" and "Pentecôte" week-ends, the holiday makers in the club chalets will have the pleasure to gather the cherries on the trees around their rentals.
Another solution is to come for the week-end of the 6th of june and enjoy the cherry party at Andance without forgetting to go to Annonay during the same week-end to enjoy the hot air balloons celebration !

1st week : We reopen water pipes down of the campsite - showers, taps and toilets are reinstalled. The big paddling pool is repainted and the big swimmingpool is repared here and there.
2nd week : The swimmingpool is ready - total spring cleaning at the restaurant, weeding, clearing of the ground in the slopes, planting of the aromatic garden.
3rd week : Cherry trees flower, leaves grow on the trees, we mow the lawn for the third time.
4th week : We mow again the lawn - the swimmingpool is at 24° degrees - holiday makers arrive, hot air balloons too !
