I am also fascinated in hearing from people who have actually used French passion "sites". Although we were members for one year, we never actually got the chance to try a single one. 

 I have been a liitle put off because I feel obliged to purchase produce from the proprietor and find it difficult to "say no". I don't want to pay silly prices for produce though and find it easier to just pay a site fee. Does anyone else feel it all a bit pressurised or have I got it completely wrong?

Just thought. Are you talking about France Passion scheme under which you can pay a "membership" and then stay free of charge at vineyards, honey farms and other venues of interest and probably be expected to buy goods before you leave ?

 or Village and Town Aires where you can stay , sometimes free or for a few euros and plug into electric hookups and get water, drain off waste water etc.

My comments above refer to the France Passion scheme.

Staying at Aires can be cheap, convenient and often close to village centres or at scenic locations. These are well worth considering.

My apologies for any confusion. The title of the thread threw me.

Municipal campsites are also cheap, clean and we love them.Hope this helps.
