Stupid question but has anyone been or is anyone in France? Just wanted to know how french are towards motorhomers at this time.
 
I don’t think you will have any problems at all. Motorhomers are welcome everywhere, some have been to France and all returned without meeting any hostility.
We live in France, we’ve been out in ours and met dozens of others travelling about. All camping car aires are open as are most campsites.
 
I've been down to lle de re only seen 3 uk reg plates I'm in le treport now on the bottom aire it's full there was 8 queuing yesterday took them 4 hours to get in and must be 25 motorhomes just parked on the street all the sites are full

Chuckling aloud, the french need no excuse to celebrate the day of this that or the other ! One November afternoon in st genies de fontdit where I lived near beziers I learnt how to do a proper onion soup ....delicious
 
Just came back from the limousine area and no problems. Took 15 mins to fill in the form to come back and no one asked to see it or even asked. Back out again in about three weeks.

Agreed, it was an Aire owner who said this weekend was special and there would be more availability after Monday. Do the French have bank Holidays or red days?

The French love a bank holiday, and if the holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, they generally take a Pont or bridge day that links the bank holiday to the weekend
