Same question has been asked a few times over the last couple of months.
The answer is here.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
We were there on Sunday last, and the motorhome area was open. For us, even better than that, was that the viewing platform at the top of the tower was open too. However, the services building has changed completely, now there is a Starbucks, and a completely different layout, and I couldn't see a shower in the ladies loos (we used the previous showers many times over the years). I am sure there must be one as there were many dozens of lorries staying in the car park.
Some may be interested to know that the facilities of the Aire (but not the main motorhome parking area referred to above) are open to those not travelling on the autoroute. On the N road take the D118 into Sailly-Flibacourt, and follow the road through the village and under the autoroute. Just after the autoroute there is a signpost off to the right to 'Aire de la Baie de Somme' which takes you to a parking area, directly to the rear of the lorry parking area, where there access through person-sized gates into the facilities of the building, the picnic areas, the viewing tower and a wander around the lagoons. We visited without a caravan but there would have been room for smaller outfits to park.

We actually cycled there and back some years ago whilst staying at a campsite near the coast. Purely to go to the viewing tower. A cycletrip with a difference, visiting a motorway services

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

Us too. We'd done it before, but forgotten about it. This time we took our lovely cakes, bought at the Boulangerie in Pont de l'Arche, and ate them with a 'Baie de Somme' coffee, like the old days!
