Baie de Somme parking open again

[mikebeaches]

I know there are mixed views about staying overnight at motorway service areas in France. We normally avoid them, with the exception of Baie de Somme, an hour south of Calais.

There is a lovely spot well away from the main terminal in an almost park-like setting, which we've used frequently in the past without problem. Police and security both patrol the parking regularly.

However, as far as I recall it's been closed off for a year or two. As we were passing today, pleased to note it is fully open again and in use. Plenty of space mid-afternoon.

Not mine sadly, but looks a cracking van.
