    We had a similar situation last year in the South of France. The site we were on was about a third full and we would have been happy to have stayed on a few more days. Talking to the young lady on reception she said it was difficult in France because of
    employment law I got the impression that there was a limit for how long people could work on a temporary basis and she was off home to another part of France.

    I think the economics are a bit like restaurants on some Greek Islands. They open for two months of the year when they make all of their money. I think if you were able to see the books you might find that the staff overhead costs - reception, cleaners, maintenance, gardeners etc. - plus any other general season specific overheads might push the site into a loss. Every site must have a break-even occupancy.

    The employment laws in several other eu countries are, to us, ,"strange" some are very restrictive compared to the uk ,hence there seems to be more "family" run sites,or very short peak only open sites
