We have stayed many times in Le Crotoy over the years.
A couple of weeks ago we just wanted to go to the Friday market so parked in a parking bay on the approach to the aire, paid 2euros for two hours, displayed the ticket prominently and went shopping.
We came back after one and a half hours to find the local flic had put a notice on the windscreen saying we were contravening the parking rules and we would be receiving a letter (presumably a fine) in the post.
Our MH is a van conversion so not longer than the bay.
So our gripe is: why should we have to pay 5euros for 24 hours when we just wanted to go to the market?
Has any of you Funsters had a similar experience?
The nearest gendarmerie is in Abbeville so I couldn't talk to them.
We haven't had a letter yet.
