While the ambassador tour is in full swing at Camping-Car Park sites, summer isn't really over yet. Prolong the mildness of the season, between peaceful places and services well thought out for motorhome owners. A journey in total freedom, with the rest areas as a real anchor.
Since July, the ambassador tour has been criss-crossing France, meeting motorhome travellers at the network's service areas. This unique initiative enables motorhome travelers to share their experiences, discuss their itineraries, and discover new features of the Camping-Car Park network. This warm, human presence in the field shows that the summer is still going strong: meetings, impromptu aperitifs between travellers, quiet evenings in the service areas... All this contributes to prolonging the summer spirit.
The network continues to offer its high-quality services, ensuring a smooth and comfortable motorhome travel experience, even in the off-season.
Travelling in September is a privilege well known to experienced motorhome owners. It's a time of ideal conditions: the days are still long, the temperatures pleasant, and the tourist sites calm down. No more traffic jams, queues or overcrowded parking lots: it's the perfect time to rediscover France at your own pace.
Visit destinations are often different from those chosen in high season. Visit countryside peaceful countryside, verdant valleys or the foothills of the mountains attract those seeking peace and space. Travelling by motorhome becomes a way of reconnecting with nature, without sacrificing comfort thanks to the services available at the network's service areas.

When the sea calms down and the beaches are empty, savvy motorhome owners head inland. In September, the mountains offer splendid scenery and ideal temperatures for hiking. The Massif Central, the Pre-Alps, the Vosges and Aubrac are perfect playgrounds for nature lovers.
The countryside is not to be outdone. Regions such as Périgord, Lot and Anjou offer bucolic itineraries that combine heritage, gastronomy and tranquillity. In a motorhome, every stop becomes an immersion in a territory, all the more enriching when the locals have found time to share.
The network Camping-Car Park network is perfectly integrated into these areas. The Seurre site in Burgundy is a fine example of this local integration: located on the banks of the Saône river, it offers a peaceful stopover just a stone's throw from the town center, with all the services needed for an extended stay.

September is also the ideal time to consider extended stays. Without the constraints of timetables, high-season bookings or school vacations, motorhome owners can adopt a slower pace of travel, more respectful of their desires and fitness levels.
The network's service areas make this type of trip possible: many motorhome owners stay for several days at the same service area, taking the time to visit the region, shop at the local market and chat with local residents. That's what the Digital Pass is designed to do: make it easy to move from one service area to another, on a budget.
It's also a great way to meet new people. In September, travelers take more time to chat with each other and share their tips and tricks. This discreet but supportive community is one of the great treasures of motorhome travel.
Extending the summer is not just a poetic idea. It's a reality for motorhome owners who choose to travel in September, supported by a reliable, welcoming and connected network.

What's the difference between a Camping de mon Village and a Camping-Car Park stopover area?
A stopover area is designed for quick, functional stops, while a Camping de mon Village offers a longer stay, in the spirit of municipal campsites.
Are the sanitary facilities and WCs at Camping de mon Village open in September?
This depends on the commune and local management. In high season, most are open, but some close after the summer. The Camping-Car Park areas, on the other hand, remain operational all year round, with guaranteed access to the service terminals.
