It is a short walk in Menton, down hill

We visited EZE, Monaco, Sospel and went over the border to Ventimiglia.

It has basic facilities but allows you to see the main sites without paying a fortune.

I am sure there will be some top notch 5* star sites along the Premier corniche, but this enables you to do it on a budget (which we were then).

Remember if you do want to visit the casino in manoaco there is a dress code and you will NEED your passport to get in.

Enjoy

Have a look at the Hull Zeebrugge crossing if you are coming from the DRAK SIDE (Lancashire).  We'll be down there from the 24th August.

W're staying in Savigny Les Beaune for a night or two then making the remainder of the journeyt on the 24th.

the advvatage of the Hull crossing is that it is so much nearer to get home on te return journey.

OR if you want a more back to nature experinec with a beach by a BIG lac, consider Le Tedey......beautiful.  This is more for people into their sport, cycling, kyak, wnd surf.

the Aquitaine region is further along/ down the Atalntic coats thatn the Vendee, tends to be a bit quieter in September.

Le Tedey is one of our favourite site anywhere...the pitches are among mature opine trees, the coast is an uninterupted 200k run of white sand, not a hotel or pool in sight, just nature.

It is a bit further to go but worththat extra effort.

It is some time sionce we have camped in the UK, so things may have changed, but one of the major differences is the actual sites...HUGE pitches, the one we are going on this this year has 90m pitches.  the facilities in France seem bettr somehow to. Yes, the drving is much better...its a big country and less populated.

Generally we have found that the sites near to the popular resorts have smaller pitces.i.e Le Solitairem, St Jorioz Annecy. the pitches were quite small.

I hope you enjoy your trip and explore a few sites while you are there.

Some sites look great on the internet , but we can all be clever/ selective with a camera. You certainly came to the right forum for experience, sound advice, we've had some great experineces as a result of this website forum.

Most of the pitches we use are in the 80 - 120 sq metre range.
It is not uncommon to have them in excess of this in the less "touristy" area.
