Does anyone know of a French campsite in the south of France that allows charcoal BBQ's or better still  real campfires?

Gotta be near a beach and have nice toilets

Yours Hopefully

Many campsites who don't allow you to use your own charcoal bbq will have a communal bbq area, where you can do your own cooking in safety. (ie not risking incinerating your nearest and dearest plus all that expensive camping gear)  Restrictions are usually strictest in forrested areas. Gas bbq's are much more widely accepted I find.

   I understand 'The South of France' to mean the Mediteranean coast, Marseilles to Menton and Provence in general... An area where there's been many huge 'forest fires'...

   In 'The Dordogne', 'The Midi' or on the Atlantic coast, they may well allow charcoal barbecues and open fires... But in Provence, during Summer, it's usually a strict 'non!'... In fact, there are times when to walk, in certain areas, you must give up (temporarily) your cigarettes, matches/lighter...
