We've done it every holiday, for about the last fifteen years, but never on the 20th/21st July.

Just stop late afternoon, at one of the smaller municipal sites, and you may find very few people there.  Friends of mine (teachers) holiday every year at that time and have never reported a problem in finding somewhere.

Sorry, but they don't use your route.  However, the following might help you find a municipal site - and if they have a website or an email address you may be able to book.

We've stayed at the municipal sites at Vierzon, St Pourcain sur Sioule, Gannat, and Issoire - and all are fine for an overnight stop.

Azay le Rideau (where Le Sabot is) is 144 km from the start of the A71 at Orleans so I hope you're using an alternative route, rather than the one the OP outlines, which is A71/A75.  Otherwise it's a very long detour to find a campsite!!

Just looked at your route, and in fact you want the A10 towards Limoges not the A75 towards Clermont Ferrand and the easiest way from Azay would be to do the N road back across to Chateauroux, or carry on down to Poitiers, and then Limoges.

Thanks val, best check my map and sat nav! not quite here today someones driven into the back of me this morning! just what i needed.

cheers

I once found a village close to the A71/A75  which didn't have a camp site but I can't remember it's name. Every other village (and town) does.

 We came that way today, didn't even get "Caravan Europe" out of the bits box, just saw a camping sign, followed it and stopped. Not sure where we are but I'll go and ask. It's very nice and they've charged me 9.40 euros. Overnight stops  really are as easy as that. 

Please relax.
