Stopover areas or Camping de mon Village: two ways to experience motorhome travel

Travelling by motorhome means enjoying a rare freedom: leaving when you want, stopping where you want, staying as long as you want. But depending on the moment of the trip, our desires change. Sometimes, we're just looking for a convenient place to spend the night and leave the next day. Other times, we want to make ourselves comfortable, enjoy a beautiful environment, stroll through a village and meet its inhabitants.

At CAMPING-CAR PARKthese two desires find their place thanks to two complementary concepts: the Stopover areasdesigned for quick, functional stops, and the Camping de mon Villagewhich offer a more relaxed stay, close to nature and the heart of local life. Two different formulas... but the same spirit: to travel freely and serenely.

Aires d'étape: efficiency for mobility

CAMPING-CAR PARK Stopover Areas are designed for independent motorhome owners who want to make the most of their time. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, they allow you to set up or leave at any time using your Pass'Étapes. You'll find all the essentials: drinking water, electricity, waste water disposal, selective sorting, wifi and sometimes video surveillance.

Their major advantage? Their strategic location, often close to town centers, tourist sites or main roads. They're perfect for :

  • take an evening break before hitting the road again,
  • visit a place of interest for a day,
  • link several stages in the same region.

The aim is not to stay long, but to enjoy a safe and well-equipped stopover, without wasting time.

Les Camping de mon Village: authenticity and relaxation

Camping de mon Village campsites embody the spirit of municipal campsites: simplicity, conviviality and proximity to local life. Located close to shops and the heart of the village, they enable you to spend a few days at the pace of the area, meeting the locals and discovering the local gastronomy and surrounding landscapes.

Here, you'll enjoy an often shaded environment in the heart of nature, with sanitary facilities and sometimes showers, and always at an affordable price (less than €17 for 24 hours, services included). Open all year round to motorhomes, they also welcome tents, vans and caravans in season.

It's the ideal solution for :

  • spend several nights in the same place,
  • enjoy a peaceful setting,
  • take the time to discover local culture and heritage.
