Baie de Somme (Aire) to Montignac?

[mheptonstall]

We go to Montignac each year with our caravan (pre Covid), normally stay overnight in Baie de Somme (Aire) and then go via Paris all the way to Montignac. We've managed to avoid the A86 tunnel around Versailles, but only by going around the houses. I'm told there are even more restrictions now in Paris. Can anyone confirm?

We're hoping not to have to go via Rouen as this adds a lot of time to the jorney.

if we did have to go via Rouen, can anyone recommend an overnight site really close to the route to break the journey up (we have two kids, one autistic so the extra two hours that way will be a problem). Maybe somewhere between Rouen and Chartres?

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

If you are a member of one of the clubs you could try them for the latest advice on both questions.

.......last time I was at the Baie de Somme their was police signage advising not to stay overnight in the secluded caravan area. The warnings were about thefts and damage that they regularly had to deal with.
I would of said it was quicker to go via Rouen myself but each to their own route.
There is a good stopover on a municipal site at Chartres

Hi

If travelling from Calais, I can recommend Camping st Clair in Neufchatel an bray. Great site near enough to main A28, can also be booked in advance as gets many visitors doing a one nighter.

We used a municipal site in La Ferte St Aubin just south of Orleans and off of the autoroute. But it may be a little too far south for you.

I haven't used this site for afew years, but it was very good, little resteraunt on site as well, we stayed for about 2 weeks. They also made a motorhome pay and drive in about 200 yards down the road from it, for over nighters.
Also a good vet nearby for going back to the UK,

No aware of one but I used the CMHC French touring handbook that list municipal sites as well as a large number of commercial sites. But I’m sure that there are websites that cover municipal and commercial. We found the handbook worked for us as the copilot could be searching for nearby en route sites without the need for gps or data access. You can pre book most municipals too if you wanted, but we didn’t find them overly full in June when we visited.

Hi
I've used this in the past, Archies camping.

This domain name is registered with Netim

The site that just had municipal site details has been closed down I think.
Good Luck

I also used the CMHC booklet for France, almost every site, farms, municiple, private etc. included. Well worth the money.
