We are going to France on the Newhaven-Dieppe service in a few weeks.  This will be the first time we have used this ferry which arrives in Dieppe at 10.30 PM.  We would appreciate advice on suitable sites where we can park up overnight (with our caravan)
as the registered sites in the area appear to close their gates by 10 PM.

    It sounds to me as though it might be the car park at the Auchan hypermarket in the Belvedere commercial centre at Dieppe. I'm afraid I don't know anywhere else at that time of night.

    Not sure if you could use the Aire on the Quai de la Marne (turn right as you come out of the ferry terminal).  I'm sure I've seen caravans in there before.  Otherwise, supermarket carpark that eurotraveller mentions or there is an aire de repos here

    Thank you Eurotraveller and Olliedays for your suggestions. This gives us 3 options.  We have parked at some "interesting" places but a supermarket car park overnight would be a first.  There should be plenty of space but a bit surprised the security people
    would not move us on.  Thanks.

    There is more tolerance of people 'overnighting' almost anywhere throughout France.  We have stayed on supermarket car parks, station forecourts, and a wide grass verge on the outside  of a village.  I
