Hi anybody staying on Honfleur aire at the moment? What’s it like number wise - rammed or plenty of spaces, looking to stay over. TIA
 
Not there now, but at this time in the season it will be busy.. rarely ever seen it quiet.

Plan to arrive by early afternoon and you will have no problem finding a space.. and with any luck a 6A EHU
 
We were there on Sunday, arriving at about 2:00pm. Plenty of space then, and we got a hook up. Filled up steadily until 6 ish when it was full, and the automatic barrier would not allow further entry. The town itself was heaving.
 
To answer my own question
Arrived approx 1.30ish and plenty of spaces, even managed EHU round the left hand
side, a quiet night but bloody hot 🥵
Anybody know what the limit is regarding numbers, as there seemed to be plenty of mohos arrived after us and it wasn’t rammed
Anyway moved on now down to Bayeux and on the municipal site😊

So are we 😜
 
We were there second week of August it was rammed midweek. All the money they are making and the Water fill/toilet dump are the worst I’ve ever coming across.
Needs serious upgrading
 
We are heading up there today arriving around lunchtime from rouen , would love to share a beer with any of you good folks, think the only english we have found upto now are non funsters

Yes that's a great stopover. There's also a very nice Municipal Camping in the village.

There are some much nicer ones around but it serves a purpose. We enjoyed the town and had a lovely meal. Veulettes sur Mer just down the coast was lovely. Right near the beach and a little bread van came around at 9am.

We must be very strange, we love honfleur, all the rough and ready and all nationalities, the excellent town, everything really what we like in Aires.
Wish we were there now instead of the back of a pub in Rhyl.

We love Honfleur too. The aire is what it is and serves a purpose. We've also stayed on the site but that gets waterlogged at times so isn't always good for mohos.

We used to go to Rhyl a lot, we had a static caravan just up the coast at Gronant.

The services aren't that bad there compared to some Aires OK by me.

Great place to stop for a lovely town, not dusty if you go to the right hand side all tarmac.

I can see why you would like the location but I'm in 6m pvc and need outdoor space to chill, plenty sitting outside their vans on the aire but its not for us and spending more than a few hours in the town would cost an arm and a couple of legs.

The town is not expensive as long as you don't eat on the harbour front.
There is quite a lot to see in town last visit we spent a couple of days and it was nice and warm & sunny in November

We also have a panel van and wouldn't be sitting around the aire.. there is a lovely park and beach for chilling .. there is much to see and do without spending any money.. and if you have bikes there is some good places to visit ..

one example of a nice day out cycling, we don't have e-bikes ..

I know there are worse, but the services at Honfleur are pretty insanitary. I do like the place, but I think that the local authority is being a bit cynical. If they can afford to spend substantial sums on a new entrance system to prevent people entering without paying, then they can afford to spend money on bringing the facilities up to an acceptable standard.

If they were charging €5 or even €10, then I may have a different view, but at €14, they are taking us for mugs.

most of the unsanitary conditions are caused by people misusing the fresh water taps, washing boots, dishes, pots and pans, dogs, their feet etc , and yes, even seen someone washing a cassette .. all under a running tap.. which is then flowing over the ground causing a mess..

I agree it could be better but it wasn't designed as a washing point

Something like Pere Camembert. It’s a Camembert restaurant but did lots of other good food as well.
