Afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok. Not been on here for a while due to other stuff getting in the way !! anyways we had our fantastic trip to France/Spain last year and loved all the free stopovers we came across. But I am baffled by the Aires in France, we loved them as a good stop off to walk the dog, make a cup of tea etc. but one night after a long drive we stopped off an Aire and decided to stay the night there, but a local informed us that we could not do that. I thought you could stay overnight in these places. I am sure there is thread on here about this already but I cannot find it !! Thanks in advance, Gina.
