You'll be lucky!... They're very 'touchy' about fires, or 'naked' flames of any sort... When you see the damage done by forest fires, most years, you'll understand why!...

what.............a real campfire BBQ on the beach??????????
No problem - some take bbqs down - others use 'once only' packs or you can just light a fire if you want. People respect the kids sandy area and light up on the pebbles or out on the island.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
Its not cheap and it does book up early. It took us 2 years to get in and now our booking is renewed in november.
If you don't mind not being on a 4* site this is next door

Loking at your avtar it seems you are determined to make fire - last year some kids made flaming lighthouses by lighting small fires on piles of stones they had made across part of the river.
Many campsites who don't allow you to use your own charcoal bbq will have a communal bbq area, where you can do your own cooking in safety. (ie not risking incinerating your nearest and dearest plus all that expensive camping gear) Restrictions are usually strictest in forrested areas. Gas bbq's are much more widely accepted I find.

I understand 'The South of France' to mean the Mediteranean coast, Marseilles to Menton and Provence in general... An area where there's been many huge 'forest fires'...
In 'The Dordogne', 'The Midi' or on the Atlantic coast, they may well allow charcoal barbecues and open fires... But in Provence, during Summer, it's usually a strict 'non!'... In fact, there are times when to walk, in certain areas, you must give up (temporarily) your cigarettes, matches/lighter...

Perhaps the south is where they stop calling 'une pain' une pain and start calling it 'une flute'.
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.
