I've posted a couple of times That Camping Car Parks are behind a lot of parking being barriered off to motorhomes

Interesting, just about to ask about that. Noticed a comment somewhere else that someone couldn't find a legal parking space after travelling 150km along the coast from Belgium!

Would I be right in thinking that if there isn't a "Camping Car Park" in an area, the old rules still apply?

Last year, communes on the south west coast of Brittany started banning overnight parking in a lot of their coastal aires and stated they would be providing alternate parking. There was a huge outcry at this decision from users and clubs. I don’t know how all this was resolved but note that on the aires apps we use, people have been parking at these sites again. ( they have left positive reviews)

Since this was mentioned I remember reading that a French Camping Car organisation had challenged it in the courts but I've not been able to find their site again since

Yes, I think so, and I also think the French motorhomers will do as they always do and just carry on regardless, and good luck to them

Probably the Comité de Liaison du Camping-Car. https://www.univdl.com/category/reglementation/
