Calais to Biarritz - Overnight site stopover
We are travelling in a motorhome with 2 children to Biarritz via the Eurotunnel to Calais mid August returning beginning of September. We normally stop overnight at Calais and make the long 10-11 hour trip down to Biarritz in one day. For medical reasons, we are unable to do that this year. Can anybody recommend a good convenient stopover site to break up this journey. Would prefer a proper site rather than a municipal one. I don't have a copy of the Tourer guide which a lot of you refer to unfortunately.

Can you say what exactly you mean by 'a proper site rather than a municipal one'? Municipal sites can be just like any other - some have just a few pitches, a sanitary block, and electric hook-ups, but some have all those as well as swimming pools, one we've seen even has toboggan slides, and many have bars and restaurants, and even a little 'supermarket'. With that long drive it's not likely that you'll arrive in time to take advantage of a swimming pool, however and as there are so many more municipal sites it would seem to complicate things to be driving much further to find 'a proper site'.
Half-way is probably somewhere between Tours and Poitiers - you could try Le Futuriste near Poitiers, but there are plenty of municipal sites along that stretch of the A10 if you change your mind about what sort of site might suit you.

as Val says, what is it you need form the site. will this just be an overnighter and then away first thing?....even from Futuroscope, you'll still have a 5 hr drive to Biarritz.
the aire at Futuroscope is roomy and safe enough for sensible sleep, there will be plenty of others there...
good luck.
