Stéphanie
: “From Fred, holiday-maker in Celivacances. Hi! I'm 27, I spent the week from February, 11th to 16th 2007 in Saint-André-De-Lidon, this sweet town of Charente, in a wonderful Région close to Mother Nature ;o) With Estelle, Philippe, Quentin and of course Géraldine, 4 great people in this World. Estelle is more preoccupated by ourself than herself, always smiling and ready to listen when we are feeling down, because when you are single, it may happen; she will always be here to help you and make you smile, she has a big heart. Philippe is always here to party the night away whereas he worked all day long, because in Celivacances, it's a human concept, a great concept that has to be known everywhere because it's a simple idea but really complicated in reality; we can't imagine all the work to do, this doesn't grow on trees! About Géraldine, or Gégé; you wake up in the morning, feeling zombified… And she's smiling and that worth at least two coffees. In the evening, you come back after a crazy day and she is still smiling. She is good-tempered, kind, she enjoys people: a good friend definitely! Here, the slogan is to have fun: Just call, you will be welcome with a big smile! It's so great that I feel that 970km away! (I come from Alsace, so trust me, it's really cool!). What are you waiting for? The buildings are nice with a touch of tradition which is great as well. The Région and the town have an incredible history; I could speak for hours about that. Oléron Island is very beautiful. All the activities are great, that's why I tried to do everything: relooking, flight, sofrology, and massages, Eglades… Celivacances it's the best and I will come back because here, you get your money's worth. You're in the middle of nature, no noise, and no pollution, just happiness. I will leave tomorrow in the morning, I can't sleep, I want to cry but I don't have to, so I enjoy my last times here to leave with wonderful memories. Thanks to all.”
Fred
: “Hello to the staff and the new holiday-makers! I wish you have a great stay here, at least as good as mine. You will find a hearty welcome and activities that you can't do everyday. Well, just enjoy your holidays. Have fun and have a nice stay. See ya!”

: “Celivacances is so great. The choice = new choice. What I was looking for: meet new people to enlarge my circle of friends and why not to find the best love. The best: Discover the Region by the sea and by the road. Not easy to find best ideas! Weekends or weeks “soulmate” or “former customers of Céli” but this will take place later.”
