Overnight stays in France

BB wrote " a perfectly normal way for the site to operate and for different customers to choose which of the services on offer they require."

The continental "a la carte" menu is a far cry from CAMC "school dinners" - eat that or go hungry.  Just as well we had a choice last Thursday, I couldn't have managed that full English. 

I can beat all of the grammar school boys on here, I went to a mixed Comp in the 60s with a fantastic and enthusiastic French teacher. He not only got us all interested in France  he also organised a month long camping trip, all the way round from the north to the south. We were submerged into French, plunged into rivers, sent out to buy food and had local meals in village halls etc. My French pen friend's father turned up on the Med part of the trip and along with a friend I was whisked off for meals cooked by Maman and eaten outside under apricot trees. (At that point we couldn't tell our bouef from our agneau but ate a lot bread as that was easy to ask for...😊)

It has so coloured my memory that I don't really want to go back to camping in France, I prefer to see it in other ways.

 But good luck to all those that love France.

Haha, CY, yes a royal feast, and thanks for the 'tour'...

Yes, when on a site, we like the choice of different types of pitches (which we also get here) but also the different 'levels' of camping.

of course, we can also do this here but not at one site...you'd have to go to (say) a CL to get a different type of experience to a Club site.

"....but overall nowhere is easier to have a memorable camping trip whatever your taste it can be found."

so true, David....and fortunately its also just on our doorstep and so easy to try....
