Sites for Paris

We liked Maisons Lafitte as well. What hasn't been mentioned is that it is an ACSI site, so if you are a member, there is a good discount.

The site was very quiet when we were there last Spring and as we were staying for a week, we were allowed to use a full-service pitch right on the riverside at no extra cost.

The railway station is a bit of a yomp, but not too bad. Be careful when using the ticket machine. On the first day I entered that we were in zone 3, not 4, so had to buy another one zone ticket as the barrier would not let us through. I'm still puzzled why a machine would let you buy a ticket for a different zone, but hey, life is an adventure!

We have stayed several times in both May and June, never booked, always used camping cheque, always gone under the bridge (sound your horn, as its blind), and it has never been more than half full, even in June.

Apart from visiting Paris by RER, both Fontainbleu and Vaux le Vicomte are near Melun, both of which are worth visiting.

This is my first post, so excuse me if I do something wrong. We stayed at the Indigo Bois de Boulogne campsite for 2 night in August last year. We loved it, the campsite is very clean, modern and very green. I couldn't believe we where in Paris. The campsite has had a complete revamp so I'm not sure what it was like before. The washroom is clean and modern. There is a central bar/restaurant with a terrace area right next to the playground. There is airstream that sells take away pizzas, very yummy especially when you arrive later than planned and the kids are starving. There is also a organized shuttle bus to the Porte Maillot metro station for a small charge. I'm not sure about the emission sticker and if this campsite falls in the area (some of Bois de Boulogne does). However we loved this campsite and will defiantly be back.

That's good news Kerrie. It had a bad reputation in the past and few other people on here have tried it since the makeover. Thank you for the up date.
