Just a little space, please.......

[Ingwe]

We're travelling in France and are on the way back from Marseillian to Burgundy. Taking a couple of days as in no rush. We spent a lovely quiet night in a free aire right in the middle of Marvejols. There was free drainage, toilet and fresh water. Also poubelles.
Then today we arrived at the free aire at St Pourcain. The pitches are quite spacey but clearly marked. So we reversed into one as close as we could to the one limit so that our door would be as far away from the van next to it. About 10 minutes later a PVC drove in right next to us and I mean right next to us. There were plenty of other spaces (then) but not too many facing the river. The better half of the couple opened their door took out a couple of chairs and squeezed in between our vans. If she tipped her chair back 10°, she could lean against the side of our van.
I was contemplating offering to reheat her coffee by use of our Truma exhaust vent they were that close. I'm not sure, for one night, I'll bother making an issue but I just don't understand why they've chosen to park so close to us. It's not even as though my puny wifi signal is worth trying to pick up.

And it's a lovely evening 26°.

Are they French?

Someone will always squeeze in, it’s best just to park centrally in the marked space. They were probably grumbling about you being close to the line

Once you've used Aires for more than 2 weeks you get used to it, the chairs are not normally allowed on an aire (No camping behaviour allowed) but remember it's a carpark
AND
for one night you'll cope just remember it's liable to be the same on every aire and sometimes even at City of Europe you get English vans as close for the safety in numbers idea numpties

That's when a SOG comes in useful.

I'll go one worse. I'll get my Leo Sayer CD out.

It's such a balmy evening, almost everyone has their chairs out. Good game of football going on just the other side of the fence. All for free!
