Handy Tips

Michelin do one that messes with my browser and is a pain.

The AA do one but often it has no idea where a place is or it wants the name in its own langauge.


Campsites:
These all cost between 10 euros for both to 10 each. None of them had bad facilities and the showers were free unless I mention a price. Condensation was heavy except for Menton where the night temperature was quite high. Nowhere was cold, though La Grave was a bit nippy.

Camping de Nant Matraz
SEYSSEL
Opposite the Champion supermarket on the D992 going north. Bar. No food except ice creams. Nice grass. Nice place. At least one slug.

Camping Municipal du Bois de Cornage
110 chem Camping VIZILLE
Go all the way in to the centre of the town to pick up the sign posts - the route involves a few metres of daul carriage way. Bar till 8, a pizza hut in the drive (a hut that sells pizza, not the chain)

Camping de la Meije
LA GRAVE
If you are coming from the West it's after the bars.
Good grass. This charged for showers - a Euro or even 2,but they were worth it. 7 minutes of hot power shower. No food or bar but the town is only a 5 minute walk (vertical).

La Ribiere
GUILLESTRE
There are others around abouts, this one was small with nice grass. Basic. No food or bar.

Camping Municipal
SAINT SAUVEUR SUR TINEE
Only one around, very small but nice. Handy astro turf football pitch next door. Basic. No food or bar.

Camping Saint Michel (Municpal)
MENTON
On top of the hill. Nice pizza place with a great view. A little shop to save having to go down the monster. Ground not so good.
