    Just Google Motorhome Aire + name of town or village where you want to stop.

    We're heading down that way ourselves next week. At this time of year lots of municipal campsites are open with plenty of pitches available. The prices are as good as ACSI if not better: here on the Gulf of Morbihan, we're paying 17€ a night for full sanfacs, electricity, a sea view, and this free wifi. Why not just stay on campsites?

    p.s We paid 13€ at the municipal at Mayenne

    Almost every town and village of any size has a motorhome Aire and they are generally signposted well.  Obviously we don't use them, being caravanners, but they are widespread and easy to locate.

    Hi

     

    https://www.campingcar-infos.com/

    We have been using this French web site now for about 12 years and without doubt it is head and shoulders above the rest you don't even need any of the aire books I stopped using them about eight years ago, your French doesn't have to be good at all and is quite easy to understand like chercher IS SEARCH. The thing we find really useful is the downloadable POI which takes you direct to the aire required, I have a Tom Tom and download it every year and it is free so whats not to like. We now live in Spain and still use this site for Spanish aires. Enjoy and in La Rochelle there is an aire that is right in the centre of the Marina and just a boat ride across the bay into town.

    Download the Campercontact app. It lists thousands of motorhome stopovers and campsites across Europe. We don’t normally plan our overnight stops on the way to Italy but simply look on the app for a stopover about 30 minutes before we want one. It’s so simple and stress free.

    BB – as you know, but others may not, having at least another option for the overnight stay on Aires is advisable.

    Over the years we've had to find alternatives – twice Circus Tops has been on the Aires, upgrading work has been in progress on others, Aires have been completely closed from one year to the next and some just aren't quite what they seem in the pictures in the books or online.

    We just move on to the alternatives and hope they are suitable.

    We use CamperContact most of the time and are happy enough with that but an App for Campingcar-infos on our Ipads would be a bonus – we don't have a designated Satnav.
