That would be the Municipal at Macon I guess.

Yes, Macon is 429 miles from Calais. Is that feasible in one day with a caravan ? Or do you have a Motorhome?

We've done the trip twice (From Eurotunnel), and each time have taken two overnight stops in each direction, staying in a tent on camp sites.
Never pre-booked. Always just turned up unannounced. Never had a problem in finding an available and suitable pitch.
Always in September, mind you!

Yep Rich73, from memory the Municipal at Macon was very easy to get to, not to far of the autoroute and also not to far out of the town.
We are tent campers, so used to pitch there for an over night on the way down to Antibes or Frejus etc, although that was back in the late 70's and through the 80's!
These day's as we are now in our dotage, we prefer to use the "Premiere Classe" budget hotels, 3 on the way South, and 2 on the return journey.

If you are travelling at a weekend remember that there are restrictions for HGVs on French motorways on Saturday nights and on Sundays all year round - and in July and August the restrictions are greater than that. You can look up the times and dates on line.
All means that the HGVs have to park up at motorway service stations at weekends, and so you may find that they have taken up the space for caravans, especially on Saturday nights.

We occasionally stopped on autoroute service stations/aires but only if we were driving late - otherwise we'd get off the autoroute and look for a site, municipal sites are found in many towns and villages. We stopped here on way back from Med - south of Lyon. https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=8657

If you’re looking for a site near Macon I recommend Ripettes. It’s not far off the motorway with pitches big enough to play cricket on, a really helpful owner, ACSI, and close to two supermarkets for ‘top-ups’ it’s certainly worth a look at

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
