An 8-pitch purpose built Aire with hard standing and attractive planting is situated just outside the town wall in a quiet residential area and adjacent to the car park that supplies the Motorhome servicing via a single borne and a superloo. The car park was previously the Aire and now acts as an overflow area as the location is an extremely popular one. There were over two dozen vehicles in total on our first night.
The car park does double duty as the school bus station and there are large and clear signs prohibiting Motorhomes in the car park between 16:00 and 18:00 hours and at lunchtime on Wednesdays.
They mean this!
It is easy to see why there is a prohibition, there are large numbers of children milling around and perhaps 8 buses using the space, Yet so many drivers seem to find themselves immune to the notice.
On both days that we were on the Aire we saw the local Gendarme turning vans off the car park. Where drivers were not at home, tickets were issued.
The Aire is a short stroll from the main square in town, where Bars, Boulangeries, Charcuteries etc. abound. There is a Carrefour Contact store and a wonderful Fromagerie. We found a Launderette within lugging distance and a lovely Salon du Thè specialising in marvellous patisserie. There is a Saturday market in the square and this also applies pressure to the overflow parking area.
I could happily have stayed forever but the Aire is restricted to 48 hours parking.
Free but drinking water costs 2 Euros.
