Loads of spaces there, doubt it’d ever be full.

Downside: it’s €10 excluding services.

I’ve stayed here lots of times, an easy drive and the Aire (car park with services) is in the centre of the High (only) Street. Get your mussels fix before venturing off. I think it’s €10 a night now though!

We are 12m with the trailer and I managed to get on without to much trouble earlier this year, there is a ditch behind the left side parking with a bit of a causeway across I managed to back the trailer over that although it was across the path but no complaints from anyone and only two vans there so you could park sticking out a bit if needed as roadway fairly wide.

When we have a trailer on the back we have to put a 'convoy exceptional' to be legal ..15 mtrs !

Well there is a bus area there, when we stopped there back in March there was a Motorhome parked up in that area?

 

[Ven]

Could be a problem for us... We are getting a very late train as we planned on stopping at C E for the night before travelling south

Where would the panel suggest as close alternative in a southerly direction ? ( co-ords' would be appreciated )

We have often stayed at Neufchâtel Hardelot about 30 minutes or so south west. No services but a safe free stop sandwiched between posh holiday homes.

I was referring to those behind the wall in the “dead centre” of sangatte.
I hope you are both well, enjoy your time away and Christmas. It’s freezing cold here today but at least it’s dry.
Are the lovely Hils and Glenns with you?
Keep us updated with your travels please.

Oh what am I like ha!ha! As I said never get any complaints there???
No not come across them may catch up with them somewhere further South?, it’s very cold here in France but usually is this time of year but been really bright and sunny today, off to Mimizan tomorrow don’t think I’ll be dipping my toes in the Bay of Biscay though?
Saw a lovely flock of Cranes circling and calling above the aire today at Roulette St Estephe.
Of course I will update on our travels I’ll start a new thread with some info later.?

 

[Johnen]

Just spoke to a security guard at the aire at Cite Europe who said that it will be open all day, but the closure at 10pm is permanent. Have to say that between my french and his english that might not be accurate.

Don't know not been there yet.

We have been we didn’t notice a 7 metre sign. We are 7.4 and tucked in easily. I think it depends which side of the road you are parked. I doubt that anyone would come along with a tape measure, as long as you park neatly.

Andrea as I said on the morning thread. We're in Ypres. Probably moving on tomorrow. It depends on the time when our awning is done.
