The Best Aires in France 2023/ 24: 591 Great Stopovers

France is one of the best countries to visit in a motorhome, RV or campervan, the roads often have little traffic, the parking is mainly free and France is the most visited tourist destination in the world, with many historic towns and villages, great beaches, picturesque mountain scenery and much more. However one of the things that makes France great for motorhomes are the number of aires. These are places that are specifically created for motorhomes to park, in order to refill/ empty their tanks, recharge the battery & possibly stay the night – in addition many of these are either free or charge a minimal amount.There are almost 6,000 aires in France & obviously their quality can vary widely, not only in their location, ambience & price but also in their maintenance & available facilities. After researching aires since 2006 for my website: www.motorhomingfrance.co.uk, I have always thought that a guide should be available that distinguishes between the aires that are noisy, neglected or just car park service points & those “true” motorhome aires that are in great locations, well maintained with good facilities & are a pleasure to stay at. With this in mind, I have compiled a list of what I consider to be the best 591 Aires de Services in France. The guide has a detailed description, services available, number of pitches, prices, local amenities, opening times, location, GPS coordinates, directions & a recent review for each of the aires as well as photos & location maps.In selecting the “Best Aires in France” I have not only used my own judgement & 16 years of experience but have taken into account the opinions of various British motorhomers & French camping-caristes who have visited these aires over the previous year. This guide is a bi-annual review as aires often close, are relocated, change their prices, suffer from a lack of maintenance or new ones open.
