hi.

can anyone help i am trying to plan 2009 summer holidays looking at doing dover dunkirque crossing and doing stopover on way down to the vendee this is are first time in france any help would be great.

thanks for the quick response everybody.i am looking at getting an early morning crossing and probably drive for about 4 to 5 hours.

Another vote for the municipal at Beaumont-sur-Sarthe - or another municipal slightly farther South at the nice town of La Fleche (between Le Mans and Angers) http://www.ville-lafleche.fr/portal/TourismeEconomie/CampingMunicipal/tabid/933/Default.aspx .

On the way home theres yet another municipal farther North in Normandy, about 10m off the A28 at Vimoutiers (just South of Lisieux) http://www.mairie-vimoutiers.fr/html/tourisme.php .

we usually stop st camping deSt Claire at neufchatel en bray - a very pleasant site about 100 miles from calais/dunkerque etc (info in caravan club  caravan europe book).  this makes a goood stopping place for anybody travelling from north of england or north wales & travelling down to Dover afternoon /eveningto catch  eg 5 am boat in which case 100 miles in france is enough after near 400 in england. Following a nice restful day  the trip down to vendee is  an easy days run.

Camping Le Vieux Moulin At Neuville sur Sarthe, about 7kms north of Le Mans - around 280 from Dunkerque.  PLeasnt place cheap - we paid €31 fro two nights last summer on our way home.  Clean toilets etc but the 'pool' looked a bit sad!!

Beautiful location.
