I've just emailed Les Cent Vignes the municipal site in Beaune about availability in August. They've sent me a form which says the maximum length of a caravan is 5.85m - which I think is very short. I'm guessing they aren't out with a tape measure (!) but just wondered if anyone has had any issues with the size of their van/pitches on this site? We have a Bailey Phoenix which isn't a long van but certainly a bit longer than they are mentioning.

5.85m sounds really short to me. The towing length of my single axle 'van is almost 1.7m longer than that!

It's a few years since we were there, but at that time there were a variety of pitches. Some appeared to be 'drive through'. The one we had was off a narrow alley so might not be suitable for a car and caravan. However I wouldn't want to risk getting there and finding all the large pitches taken.

Just a guess.   Is it 5.85 metres Caravan body length - which might be 7.00 metres shipping length?

I've just booked there for end of Aug for an overnight stop and they were fine with our van being 6.92m. I'm sure that the last time we stayed there we had our twin axle too....again no problem. I will email them again to check just in case, and let you know what they say!

Last time I stayed there I was in a 7.5 metre motorhome. Some of the pitches are drive through so length shouldn't be a problem.

We have ALWAYS stayed at the campsite in Savigny les Beaune in preference.
This was a municipal back in 2002, now privately owned and renamed Le Premier Pres.
Savigny is beautiful, it is only 2k from a huge E L'clerc, with petrol and just off the motorway.
Savigny is a villages fleurie and is beautifuly situated.
Check it out for you caravan.

Hi
I am looking to stay on Beaune municipal later this year and now have a twin axle van. Just wonder if you know if there was any problem withtwin axle outfits.
Our previous van was 7.5m so the new one at 7.8 is not that much bigger
Thanks

Dave, if the earlier replies don’t help I should e mail the campsite and ask them.
