Stopover area or Camping de mon Village: two ways to travel by motorhome

Traveling by motorhome means enjoying a rare kind of freedom: leaving when you want, stopping where you want, and staying as long as you want. Depending on the moment, your needs change: sometimes you look for a quick overnight stop, other times a longer stay in a pleasant and welcoming place.

At CAMPING-CAR PARK, both ways of traveling find their place thanks to two complementary concepts: Stopover Areas, designed for quick, practical breaks, and Camping de mon Village sites, which breathe new life into former municipal campsites and their timeless charm.
