Choosing French Aires

For Motorhome aires (not autoroute aires) CamperContact.com plus name of town gives a list with prices, photos and reviews. That same company has an app too.

For campsites CampingFrance.com plus name of town or departement gives you just about every site there is apart from a few small  unlicensed sites run by expats in their back gardens. 

But simply Googling what you want is usually productive.

also “all the aires” books

Can you use aires with a caravan? The OP is shown as a caravanner.

If you are referring to camping Aires the majority of them do not allow caravans, however there is a group called Camping Car Parks that you can join. At certain times of year (usually June to Sept) you can stay on them with a caravan or tent. Lots of these sites are ex Municipal and the fees are very reasonable usually between 10 to 14 euros a night.

For the MH Aires we use park4night and searchforsites. These 2 apps will also show campsites in the area. 

It’s for a motorhome, we’re considering swopping over to the dark side !!

It’s not at all dark, it’s enlightened 👍🏻

Another +1 for camping car park Aires. A selection from June last year. The one with a building and cabin had facilities and could be used by caravans and tents in the summer months.

Yes, there are places in France that tourists might well want to visit - such as Annecy - where the  Camping Car Parks chain has nothing listed.   In fact the only aire I know of at Annecy is this one in the photo. A campsite would be far more appealing, but French Motorhomers pile in side by side there and shun campsites
