France in March (1 Viewer)

[take55555]

I have booked to cross to Dunkirk at midday on 24th March 2011 with my 8.7 m motorhome. I plan to head south in easy stages but now find that most of the sites are closed until April. Any suggestions for suitable sites for a gentle run south to somewhere warmer would be appreciated.

This will be the first trip abroad, for my wife and I, in our new van.

Cheers

Stuart

both are discount camping systems but you do not have to join to use the sites but if you do you get pitches at the discounted rate.

Also there are yearly sites in the cc europe book

Camping Cheque

Hi

Thank you very much for the posts. I visited the Boat & Caravan Show this morning and went to the Camping Cheque stand. They were very helpful and I now have their list of sites (in English) which will be most useful.

Thank you again for your help.

Regards

Stuart

If you do aires, I've heard that cemetaries are good places to take on water when it's turned off in aires.

Seeing us mentioned above (thanks, bobandjane) I'll just confirm that Parc Verger is open all year, and has good big hardstandings for our guests. We look forward to meeting many funsters in 2011, new as well as existing friends.:thumb:

Wherever you travel this year, enjoy a safe journey

The cemetery post reminded me of a good aire behind the cemetery in Le Boulou.
Perfect stopover for anyone traveling to Spain.Its free and theres water and toilets with a dump grid.
Situated just before the Spanish border,if your coming down the autoroute come off at La Boulou and go into the town,you will pick up signs for the cemetery,also its the last place for LPG before Spain,just up the road at the supermarket.The air is only a 3 minute walk into the centre of town.
