TGV to Vendome or St Pierre de Corps

My husband %26amp;amp; I are hoping to take our 2 year old daughter to the Siblu holiday park in Onzain (between Blois %26amp;amp; Ambroise). We are considering taking the TGV from CDG airport and then hiring a car. I would appreciate any advice re the following questions:

- Should we get out at Vendome or St Pierre de Corps TGV station?

- Is there car hire available in both places?

- Are the roads very busy around that area?

All advice appreicated.

St Pierre des Corps is nearer to Onzain than Vendome. I know that there are several hire car companies at St Pierre des Corps. Doing a quick Google tells me that there is a Europcar at Vendome, but not too sure of any others.

Also, not all TGVs stop at Vendome.

So, I would say get off the TGV at St Pierre des Corps.

From St Pierre des Corps you get on the A10 motorway in order to cross the Loire, and then follow the D952 along the north banks of the Loire to Onzain. The roads should not be busy.

Thanks Sunlover France for your reply and helpful information.

Just a couple more questions if you don%26#39;t mind!

- How long would it take to drive from St Pierre de Coups to Onzain (our 2 year old doesn%26#39;t have much patience!)

- What is the weather usually like in early June as we%26#39;re trying to pack as lightly as possible.

- Are there many child friendly activities near to Onzain?

Thanks again for your help.

Drive should take about 45 minutes.

Weather should be warm and sunny, but nothing is guaranteed.

As for the third question, sorry, but I don%26#39;t know Onzain. Near to Amboise however is the Aquarium de Val de Loire, which might be interesting for a two year old.

I know the Dugny Siblu Park well and rest assured there are plenty of activities on-site to keep your daughter occupied although allot is weather dependant. The swimming pool facilities are excellent.

Two activities close to Onzain that are great for kids-

There is an Avis car rental facility in the terminal building at St. Pierre des Corps. That was very convenient for renting and returning a car.
