I know many on here use aires and we have a few times on 2 trips to France this year. We prefer sites for a number of reasons - EHU (no generators!), toilets, showers, security and space. There are some very good aires but there are a lot that are just stone and tarmac carparks. Came across one last week in Normandy - over a million pounds worth of Mhs parked side by side - just couldn’t see the point.
To spend tens of thousands on the MH, put up with generators, buy solar panels, extra batteries, gaslow bottles…………to stay in a carpark to save twenty euros- not for us
Mind you not every site suited HWMBO. We don’t book sites, just stop whenever, and last week found a site right on the beach, front line on a grassy bank with a fantastic view over a very calm English Channel, brilliant sunset…. “What do you think”? I asked - “Don’t like it”
To me it was an ideal spot - “What’s wrong with it then”? …….. “No hedges” was the reply.
My wife would have preferred to give up the view and move to the centre of the site, where the pitches were separated by hedges - privacy of a sort.
Sorry it has to be sites - with hedges!!
