On August 13, 2025, a vast control operation was carried out in a campsite in La Tranche-sur-Mer. Several services were mobilized: national gendarmerie, SDIS, ARS, DDPP, town hall and municipal police.
The report highlighted serious shortcomings, resulting in the immediate closure of the nightclub, the restaurant and the swimming pool. A campsite, golden sand, presented on the web like a 4 star.
A disco already under the blow of a decree
The campsite disco was already the subject of an administrative closure order taken by the mayor, after an unfavorable opinion from the security committee. Despite this, the establishment continued to operate illegally. The prefecture required strict compliance with the closure.
Alarming hygiene conditions
In the restaurant, the inspectors noted: a lack of cleaning and storage, poorly preserved food, products unfit for consumption.
According to the mayor of La Tranche-sur-Mer, interviewed on France 2, “the ovens were not cleaned, the outdated foods and the very dirty place”.
An infested and unsanitary swimming pool
The swimming pool, now prohibited from access, presented serious health problems: sewers clogged by thousands of wasps, moldy edges and torn joints, showers, hammam and balneo deemed unfit. Some vacationers also mention the presence of cockroaches in mobile homes.
Angry holidaymakers
Customers, attracted by the advertising of a 4 -star campsite, denounce a situation under false advertising. The Google opinions left since the start of the season are without appeal: “Landy advertising”, accuses a client: “The mobile homes were disgusting, with spiders and cockroaches. “Camping to flee”, “The horror campsite”, “camping to flee. Stay listened to for health “.
