“The All Saints’ Day holidays went rather well” in the campsites, rejoices the president of the National Outdoor Hotel Federation

While only “10% of campsites are open” at this time of year, attendance has further increased, estimates Nicolas Dayot.

“The All Saints’ Day holidays went rather well” in campsites, rejoices the president of the National Outdoor Hotel Federation (FNHPA) Nicolas Dayot at franceinfo on Sunday November 2. He also owns two campsites, one in Finistère, the other in Morbihan.

Nicolas Dayot recalls that only “10% of campsites are open at this time of year”and that most “open in April May and close in September”but this year, “we have seen further growth in attendance at campsites”.

According to him, the decline in the purchasing power of the French has something to do with this choice of accommodation for the holidays. “When you are with family, there are often two or three, four people, and clearly, for the All Saints’ Day holidays, you are between 150 and 200 euros per week,” explains Nicolas Dayot. “So it’s true that it’s very good value for money.”

The president of the National Federation of Outdoor Hotels notes that retirees often choose the All Saints’ Day period to leave, since they “can stay for several weeks because they have the time and means, and it’s much cheaper in the long run.” Unusual accommodation, such as tree houses, is also becoming more and more popular, says Nicolas Dayot.
