Eurocamp trials its first ever dining packages
Ross Matthews, Chief Marketing Officer at Eurocamp said 'We've spent more than 50 years listening to what our customers want to perfect the outdoor holidays we offer, and what we hear time and time again is that families love that a Eurocamp holiday can meet the entire family's needs.
'While our customers have always enjoyed the freedom to dine as they please, cooking in their holiday home, having a BBQ or grabbing a pizza on parc, expanding our extras to include dining gives those families the option to enjoy even more convenience when staying with us - with the flexibility to choose the package that suits them best.
'And with some or all of their meals taken care of, they'll have extra time to experience all that a Eurocamp holiday has to offer.'
A half board dining option is now available at Le Castellas, located in Languedoc, France, that includes breakfast and lunch or dinner at a choice of three eateries at the parc, with prices from £25.86 per day per adult.
Five star Domaine des Naïades in Port Grimaud on the Côte d'Azur is also involved in the trial, with its on-parc restaurant providing local dishes, as well as family favourites. Guests can opt for full board, half board or a breakfast-only option, with three-course meals available at both lunch and dinner. Prices start from £8.62 per day per adult, depending on the package.
Le Port de Plaisance in Brittany is the third holiday parc to trial Eurocamp's new dining packages, alongside its opening of a newly refurbished outdoor waterpark this summer. Dining options allow guests to choose between dining at the parc's restaurant, taking away a picnic lunch or having a BBQ platter delivered directly to their holiday home for dinner. Prices start from £35.34 per day per adult.
The new dining packages are available during July and August 2025, and must be booked for the entire duration of the stay.

Breakingviews - EU bank surge masks discrete capital soap operas
LONDON/BERLIN, July 24 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Europe's banks are having a decent 2025. For all the new-year talk about the motoring U.S. economy and the stuttering European Union, bank stocks in the euro zone are up 46% since January – while U.S. lenders have on average risen just 16%. Yet while the sector seems to have become dull and dependable, there's still room for stock-specific soap operas. Lenders across Europe used to trade miles below book value due to a vicious cycle of negative rates and insufficient capital ratios. Second-quarter results from France's $106 billion BNP Paribas, opens new tab( opens new tab and $65 billion Deutsche Bank, opens new tab( opens new tab on Thursday show how rising rates and European rearmament plans have flipped the script. BNP made a return on tangible equity of 11.6%, while Deutsche managed 10.1% - both ahead of year-end targets. Stripping out the unhelpful effect of the stronger euro, the banks' fixed income and currency trading operations rose in line with or above the 15% year-on-year jump Wall Street rivals managed. The upshot is a stark re-rating: Deutsche shares have jumped from around half of expected tangible book value in January to above 80%. Yet both the German bank and BNP lag $134 billion Spanish rival Banco Santander's ( opens new tab 1.2 times multiple. One potential driver is the three banks' different capital situations. Neither BNP boss Jean-Laurent Bonnafé nor Deutsche Chief Executive Christian Sewing have a solvency headache: the French bank's 12.5% common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is over 200 basis points above its minimum level as stipulated by the European Central Bank, and Deutsche's 14.2% ratio is similarly comfortable. But investors in a utility-like sector are laser-focused on share buybacks, and anything that could conceivably diminish them. By selling, opens new tab her Polish assets in May for 7 billion euros and flagging a 13% CET1 ratio, Santander boss Ana Botín has nixed lingering fears that her bank lacks enough capital for its Latin American-heavy business. That raises investor confidence that a 10 billion euro buyback programme will be maintained. In contrast, BNP and Deutsche's capital outlooks appear fuzzier. A recent ECB interpretation may mean Bonnafé can't fully use the so-called Danish Compromise capital wheeze to bed down last year's AXA Investment Managers deal, which could reduce the bank's CET1 ratio by up to 35 basis points. Meanwhile Deutsche's risk-weighted assets might balloon, opens new tab by over 100 billion euros by 2033 if reforms reducing the flexibility in calculating these RWAs aren't watered down. Neither of these count as real capital angst – especially as Deutsche is confident it can mitigate most of the pain. But now that banks are a defensive sector again, they're held to a higher bar. To hurdle that and trade above tangible book value, investors need more than hopeful words.

Michelin Guide Singapore 2025: Two Japanese restaurants win big this year
The Guide has spoken: 288 restaurants in Singapore are worthy of a spot on the coveted list this year, with one restaurant added to the one-star line-up, and another promoted to two-star status. Ahead of this evening's Michelin Guide 2025 awards ceremony in Marina Bay Sands, the Guide first released its Bib Gourmand 2025 picks last week, with 11 new eateries joining the ranks. 2025 marks the ninth year since the Michelin Guide landed in Singapore. And while it's no secret that the F&B industry suffered plenty of closures recently (this year has 32 one-star restaurants compared to 42 last year, mostly due to closures), tonight's ceremony proves once again that our tiny city is still chock-full of culinary giants. Receiving both the Young Chef Award and his first star is Kazuki Arimoto of Omakase @ Stevens, the fine-dining restaurant at Novotel Singapore on Stevens which specialises in omakase with French culinary inflexions. Then there's chef-owner Yoshio Sakuta of Sushi Sakuta, who walks down the carpet teary-eyed to receive his shiny new two-Michelin-star plaque – a bump from his one-star award last year. The intimate 10-seater restaurant offers a seasonal omakase menu exclusively serving Japanese fish, and demonstrates precision in using two varieties of Japanese rice and five types of sushi vinegar. New entries aside, most of the list remains the same, with the Michelin three-star category dominated by three familiar names in the fine-dining scene. You guessed it – once again, French restaurants Les Amis and Odette, as well as contemporary European restaurant Zén remain snug in the watertight three-star zone. This is Odette's seventh consecutive year receiving three stars and Les Amis' sixth. Meanwhile, Singapore's two Michelin Green Star awardees retain their titles – contemporary Southeast Asian Fiz and Seroja continue to go above and beyond in their efforts to source for sustainable ingredients, conserve energy and reduce food waste. They also deliver big on flavour and are consistent picks on our Time Out Singapore 50 best restaurants list. All in all, Singapore now has a whopping 288 establishments on the Michelin Guide, including three three-stars, seven two-stars, thirty-two one-star, 89 Bib Gourmand, two Green stars and 157 Michelin Selected venues. Check out the full Michelin Guide Singapore 2025 below – an asterisk (*) indicates that the restaurant is a new addition to the list.

How foreign tourists are charged 50% more in Paris than French customers
Americans holidaying in Paris are being charged an extra 50% more that French customers. Newspaper Le Parisien sent out one of their reporters dressed like a tourist from the USA as well as one of their local employees to a cafe near the Eiffel Tower. Both sat down and ordered the same dish – a lasagna, a Coke and water – but given drastically different prices when given the check. The obviously 'French' customer was charged €6.50 for their soft drink and given a carafe of water for free. But the 'American' was charged €9.50 for a large coke which was only half a litre. They were also made to spend €6 on bottled water with no offer of a carafe. The pair moved to a different establishment to test the tipping policy. The 'French' customer had a 10% service charge included, but the 'American' was told it 'isn't included'. When he agreed to add a 10% tip, the waiter discreetly raised it to 15%. Franck Trouet of the hotel and restaurant umbrella group GHR said: 'It's a disgrace to the profession. You can't even call these people waiters. 'You should know that in France, water and bread are free. One can refuse a bottle of water. The tip is to express thanks for the service if one is very satisfied. Above all, it is not compulsory. This is not the United States'. Parisian restaurants and bars were also found to be cheating tourists out of wine last month. A sommelier posing as a tourist ordered a glass of Chablis costing around €9, but instead was served the cheapest €5 sauvignon on the menu – and was still charged the higher amount. Wine merchant Marina Giuberti said: 'It's a pity for the customer and for the image of the wine appellation, for the winemaker and for the restaurant owners who do a good job.'
