Top tips for motorhome holidays in the French Alps
Arrive before the weekend to aires within a short drive of cities
Establish in advance what facilities are available
Have a back-up plan in case the aire is full when you arrive
Avoid the French school holidays, ie most of February, to be sure of a place
Take a supply of €1 and €2 coins for service bornes and a credit card
Stock up with basics, gas and fuel in the valley
Top up perishables in the resort and give local businesses some custom
Take a long hook-up lead and additional water containers
Don’t leave home without a generator and snow chains
Fit a Wi-Fi booster or 3G aerial and Mi-Fi as resorts usually have internet
A nearby swimming pool is a bonus for aching muscles and a shower!

Can anyone update please for 2018 season

You've probably set a record for slow posting, replying to your own post two years later.

But on a serious note, I suggest you amend the thread title to something which will attract the attention of those who can contribute. Either just report your post or start a conversation with Jim. In either case ask Jim to amend the thread title, which with his divine powers he can. Something like "Suggestions for Best Skiing Aires Please". At the moment the title could be about anything.
