Spring trip

[Bertie Bus]

Hi All
We are looking to take our motorhome down to Santander and then drive up through France to Roscoff on a trip of about a month. We are looking for recommendations for places to stay in Spain and France. We travelled down to La Rochelle last summer and stayed at Carnac and Benodet. We will probably have a week in Spain and then travel up the west side of France.
Thanks in advance.

Bob and Karen

This may help for the top end

Lack of Brittany threads

We are off in the morning to Brittany. We have been before about 6 or 7 years ago and in between jobs I ve been trying to find out where MHFers have been but the search function brings up Brittany ferries all the time. So I went to my default of DBK to find some information with his recent time...

Brittany all the Aires. Loads of them

We found this map from a TO I ve taken photos and it is pretty self explanatory. We have been seeing lots of Aires not noted on the apps. If touring Brittany you may want to bookmark this I took them all the same way so no idea why some are sideways. I LL do a scan and copy when we get home.

The Elephant aire near Santander is well worth a stop. I loved watching the elephants close up through the fence.

I would also recommend

At SAN Vicente de la Barquera. This is a lovely coastal town and if you look at the camping website it’s in a fabulous location.

Bertie Bus Spain: We enjoyed staying at Potes in the national park, also Orio with easy train access to San Sebastián. Visiting Santillaner del Mar and Comilla’s, whilst camping at Oyambre, was really good by bus. Got to the caves with the prehistoric art too. Pamplona is always nice to visit and across in France we like to visit St Jean de Luz and Bordeaux

The 'problem' is the fact that you are going in 'Spring'?

Some of the Aires in France are free until Easter and thats 10th April. Others start to charge on
1st April. I don't know whether you want to use Aires or campsites.

The area below Bordeaux is a bit of a desert along the N10 that goes from the border to Bordeaux
but right along the coast, there are Aires. Many of them are open but charge. The minority are free.

As no one has mentioned it, could I suggest that you have a look at 'Search for sites' www.searchforsites.co.uk
and 'Park4night' www.park4night.com

They will give you chapter and verse on more places to stop, both casual and regulated than you could shake
a stick at.

Give us an idea of what or how you wish to use when stopping and there will be further info. forthcoming.

Regards

Emmit

Port-louis With a couple of the aire type stops next to the Fort walls.

Hi Karen and Bob, I'm considering a Roscoff to Santander trip this September. Did you have a good trip and do you have any advice please? We have only toured in France so far using mainly Municipal Camp Sites.
Thanks, Rob
