Over night stay between Calais and La Rochelle

[marc17669]

Evening all we are off to La Rochelle in the caravan in just over 3 weeks and I am looking to stop over on the way down as we can't enter the campsite until the next day. Question is do you find and book somewhere for the night or stop at one of the services/ Autoroute??

My preference would be to use an ACSI site or look for a Municipal site. Only a couple of weeks ago we stopped at night for fuel at a French service area where some Dutch travellers were victims of a robbery. I consider sites to not only be safer, but also quieter.

Marc, there are lots of sites between, Rouen and Le mans, Bernay, Ses, Gace, and Alecon, to mention just a few, we never book for overnight stays but tend to get to the sites between 3 and 5 pm, so we have time to get to another one just in case!. And I would not recommend overnighting in the service station or Aires. The acsi maps and also the Caravan Club books for Europe give almost all the sites, private and also municiples.

......you do not say when you arrive at Calais.
The municipal at Bernay would be my recommendation if you can get that far

Not sure whether you wish to 'cut the corner' but there is a ry good municipal with easy access at Doue la Fontaine. There is a big aquatic centre necxt door if you fancy a refreshing swim
