Hello,

Just bought a travel guide to France from the address:

https://www.vicarious-shop.com/France-Passion-2012.html

For the small sum of £24.99 you get a lovely sticker and the addresses of over 6500 farms and vineyards to stay in France, 24 hrs for FREE. There's no obligation to buy anything but you have to be self contained - not insofar as a personality trait - more that you can exist in your bus without recourse to using external facilities. Having said that, the guide lists many interesting things but the two most critical ones are English speaking hosts and toilets.

Definitely worth a look at - we're staying at a snail farm near Roscoff in August.

We used that system round France as part of our 10wk trip. Probably saved around €700 doing that.

Which ones did you like best? Any on the East Coast?

France doesn't have an east coast?

That's what i thought too... but beware of those frenchmen... they can be tricky sometimes

Yes it does!!!!


If you hold the map upside down ..

I guess he meant the south coast..

I wouldn't put it past the tricky French to introduce an East coast on the quiet, as a means of getting more money out of the GB motorist - breathalysers! However, the French are in the clear I am just dull - though in my defence as an Englishman living in Wales - many of my Welsh friends maintain that the only bad thing about their country is the lack of an East coast.

I know this post is a bit old...but may go have a drive round France again we did it a few years ago in the split but used eurocamp ,this looks interesting I I love anything free.....do any of the sites have any showers or is it just a field

many thanks andy

First see for me too...east coast that's funny. They're probably looking for another coast to block

i live almost on the east coast of france and it's quite nice really.

Not a bad location....

I don't remember any with showers, most don't have toilets either. It's a condition of the scheme that you are 100% self-sufficient for services. Lots of them are like camping on someones paved front drive.

thanks for reply ,,I don't know what I was thinking to be fair, as we arrived at the sites all they wanted was wifi
