French Campsites
Hi All,
We're doing a 4 week tour of France in our Motorhome this July. We're planning a route down the western side of France starting in Calais travelling to Le Mans and then onwards towards the St Emillion area. Once we're set up we have no transport so hoping to find some lovely campsites preferably that have a village or good restaurant within walking distance. Although we would prefer to have a village nearby it's not an absolute must and we're open to any suggestions/recommendations that you may have.
Thanks

Assuming you would prefer campsites to Aires then its probably an idea to look for Municipal Campsites if you want to be nearer to a town or village. Someone will no doubt point you in the direction of a relatively new organisation that has concentrated on a sort of hybrid aire and they have taken over the running on quite a few municipals.

Edit:- I see WTG has provided you with a comprehensive list.

A town rather than a village, however the municipal at La Flèche (which is not far off your route) is very nice.Information Here. Certainly worth a few days. It has a pool, walking / cycling along the Loir and nearby lakes, one of which has a nice beach. Although in the ACSI discount scheme, it finishes on the 1/7 and doesn’t start again until the back end of August. You can use the ACSI ID though, if you have one, which speeds things up when checking in.

On the way from Calais to St Emilion I would start with two or three days in Paris - stopping at Camping Beau Village at Villiers sur Orge. It’s about 12 miles south of the city and easily reached by looping round the east side of Paris on tne A86 autoroute. From the campsite it’s walkable to an RER station for frequent trains into the city centre.
After that for the drive south from there I would work out which chateaux, cathedrals, gardens, historic places, and so on that I would like to see and zig zag from one to another. There is always a campsite or an aire, isn’t there.
