Switzerland has something the likes of which you will never have seen.

For that reason the one Swiss campsite we use in Luzern provides adaptors FOC for a small deposit.

Hopefully for you the rest will.

Glorious country. Enjoy it a lot.


PS Must See: Rhein Fall. Stop on the Swiss side, there is a decent aire for MHs.

This site is within 15 mins walk of the centre of Troyes.

We stayed there last year. Not a bad site.

We were told not to bother with Troyes but to go to Lac Du Der Chantecoq, which is beside the largest manmade lake in Europe. It was an aire and was a nice quiet place, free, for a stopover.

I think Brians link was for the LARGEST man made lake in Europe if I read it correctly.

I've looked on our Frence map and it seems we went from Chalons-en-Champagne on the D2, crossed over onto the D13 which takes you all the way to the lake. We passed a couple of sites before we came to the aire on your left and as you drive in, a proper caravan site is in front but you go to the left, pick up or drop water and waste and then just drive ahead. It was fine as a stopover point and very quiet.

Have a great time.::bigsmile:::bigsmile:::bigsmile:
