Good Municipal or Aires in Normandy?

[BenimarEurope6000ST]

First time to France, and really lost in where to go first. It be nice to land and spend a couple of days finding our feet and regrouping.



Ideally, I prefer a municipal site rather than a Aire, as I may wish to spend more than one night before moving on.



So any good municipals anyone can recommend prefer near to the coast and with nice walks and not too far from Calais, but happy to drive a hour or two



Also like to know of any good Aires as well.

ok, Well I have got a pretty extensive list of Aires and Municipals in the SatNav.

So, as you say, will fall over one.

Hi Benimar******
We never book anything and we find that we always fall over a municipal site or latterly Aire's.
The best ones, we have found by accident

Take a look at Motorcaravan Sites Review as he has photgraphed MANY aires that he's visited. Thanks to him we stopped at Millery (between Metz & Nancy) right on the banks of the R. Moselle, and like Garth has said on the way home we got as far as Mons and searched the sat nav and ended up in a little village Bevay on an Aire.

Just STAY AWAY from the Aires on motorways/A roads! Our friends who should have known better were broken into whilst asleep, luckily their dog barked and woke them up; but they still lost a laptop and a wallet!
