France Questions help.

[MitchandJenny]

Hi folks.
Previously only gone straight down through France, but now going for 3 weeks tomorrow. Got Aires sorted but …
A. Are the tunnel border checks still searching out food stuff??
B. Any good Naturist sites just SW of Paris? But not too close to it.
C. Where is a good and safe Aire you would recommend after arriving?? Don’t mind a few of hours drive heading in direction of Ruoen if it’s worth it.
Much obliged in anticipation of some replies.
Mitch.

We were checked by French customs staff at tunnel. Vehicle walked through and all seats lifted, all cupboards and shower area etc checked. Garage looked through and cursory look at some boxes etc. Fridge and freezer opened and cursory look through (we didn’t have very much in them....small amount of milk, water, emergency pizza!) Documentation asked for and checked for scooter (well they looked at them but barely read them!). Gas off check. No pressure and and didn’t take very long.

On return journey last week we also had vehicle walk through on French side with cupboards and shower etc checked. Few minutes with no probs.
