May not help you Oppy but newbies to France like Suneye might like to try the big Aires such as Honfleur. It is not cheap and is prone to overcrowding but as there are many other like minded people there, great chance to meet up with them and learn lots. You may even find a travel buddy for a day or two, just to get you started and give you confidence.

Honfleur itself is well worth a visit.

Fortunately I'm not a France newby, but amongst my health issues I have, over the last couple of years, developed extremely poor night vision, which is why I asked for a suggestion. The farm in Landivy is generally our start off point, but when I went over last autumn I realised that really it wasn't the best idea to drive in the dark.

Over the last 10 years we have visited many places using Aires in the main. Picking one is difficult but I guess the vineyard at Blaye is probably the best with Autoire a close second. The vineyard is by a Chateau that does excellent lunches, 16a elec free and walking distance to Blaye that has a Citadel. Autoire is located south of Brive La Gaillarde in a valley with a waterfall at one end. A beautiful Beau Village having local wines, dried mushrooms shop and inexpensive restaurant at the hotel.

One place i always liked was Conque. lovely little town up the mountains with an enormous Cathedral. Havent a clue how they built it, but its a beautiful spot.

Sue and I are off to France early March and arriving at Ouistreham in the evening of the 13th March on our way to Landivy. Because my night vision is not particularly good, can anyone recommend a stopover point half an hour ish from the port
Thanks Friends

More like an hour from Ouistream, but the Air at Guilberville is a good stopover just off the A84

Can't recommend but have a look HERE Very close to the Port

Use this aire each time we travel - never a hitch and not far to walk to a selection of reasonable eateries.

Thank you, but our initial destination is only an hour and a half from the port, so we are looking for a spot that we can kinda fall off the boat into, but thanks for taking the trouble.

In that case, your lordship, have you considered the aire at Ouistreham? My recollection is that it has had mixed reviews, but it is right by the ferry terminal.

Use it every time we go to France by eorotunnel and will be there on the 6th March. Can get an early train and early start. Coming back we use Montreuil sur Mer as its away from Calais , free and close to town centre

One place we love is Brantôme on a Friday morning which is market day. Walking around whilst devouring a punnet of fresh strawberries is hard to beat - my wife is easily pleased!
