Indeed, only 23miles at the nearest point, I'm sure there are a few of us who would be happy to drive that far along unfamiliar D roads for an overnight stop after a long days driving & others who might even want to stop there for a fortnight.....(but not me)...<IMG border=0 src="forum_images/smiley2.gif">
Many people simply opt for a slightly shorter days driving deliberately, so they can get well away from the road noise & into somewhere pretty & peaceful to stop. We do.
We would actually hate to stay anywhere much closer to a motorway than that & I know a fair few other folks who do the same.
Couldn't agree with you more, Gypsydoll. We also stop driving early on, rather than late in the evening, because we too like to be further away from roadnoise etc. We also like to pick somewhere to stay so that we can have a look round the village, or hamlet, or just have a walk round somewhere peaceful and quiet.
The site in question could be a good proposition for someone I'm sure, as many people these days like somewhere off the beaten track.

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
The odd overnight stop won't provide an income big enough to survive in France.If I bought that site I would have to be prepared to lose my life savings and live on benefits.....Live the dream only if you can afford to lose everything,sadly many do.
Perhaps it depends how big an income you are used to managing on. If you are happy to live modestly it may be quite adequate. I do think many people are also able & prepared to turn their hand to other things too, so the campsite turnover would perhaps be part, but not all of their income.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
