563 Andernos (Arcachon Basin)

Aire for 50. Down by the marina, the service bourne is near the harbour office


562 Audenge (Archachon Basin)

Camping Braou, was 2*, now 3*.
Off season rate incl wifi and ehu $12.30.
Only the disabled WC/shower block open but that's really no problem with so few campers.
The area is surrounded bu flat, many and safe velo-pistes. Marvellous.
Also a haven for lovers of seafood; which i don't, but never mind!



















Outside the Camp-site is a bourne for passers by. Presently out of service

561 Saint Medard

This was a surprisingly interesting little town; mostly all along the main road but some gems set back off the main road.
The Mixed CP has 2 bays reserved for CCs. they are foc, as is the elsan dump and rinse, also WCs (which were disgustingly unusable).
Water could be drawn but i didnt fancy it.
Lots of little bars, take aways and restaurants.




560 Sourzac

In summer this might well be a nice place to overnight. Next to river and many picnic tables provided.
It is nevertheless a one horse town, where the horse has bolted and next to a busy road.

 The Aire has about 5 bays, is foc but the ehu are no longer.
Bourne requires jetons from the restaurant opposite
Bays are unlevel but there are bins and WC block

559 Figeac

Aire, one of a few. Near cemetary. Px12 approx. Bourne, elsan & rinse foc, water jetons.



558 Saintes Maries de la Mer, Carmargue

Capital of the Carmargue, an interesting and busy place, even off season.
Miles of flat bike tracks, beaches and sea... Just what was required.
Decided to stay on a campsite as solo, wanted ehu. Many Aires as well. Cost $9 plus $3 ehu.
