Our motorhome aire comparisons: Chez Marcel vs the aires of the French Riviera

Yes. The Chez Marcel aire, beside the RD559 at La Gaillarde, takes motorhomes, vans and campervans: 14 pitches of 30 to 32 m², 6 A electricity, water and waste disposal included, the beach 40 m away, open all year round and bookable online. The other aires nearby are in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, Saint-Aygulf and Sainte-Maxime.

A municipal aire is an overnight parking area: automatic barrier, limited stay (48 hours to 4 days), a water and waste point, rarely electricity and almost never showers. A campsite aire like Chez Marcel also opens up the toilet blocks, the restaurant, the shop and the laundry, with no time limit. The municipal aire is often cheaper; the campsite aire offers more services.

No. The pitches are designed for up to 7.5 metres. Beyond that we will point you to a campsite pitch, which takes vehicles up to 13 metres depending on the category.

On the coast: the municipal aires of Sainte-Maxime and Ramatuelle (Pampelonne beach), Espace Arena in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, the motorhome area of the Camping de Saint-Aygulf Plage and the Camping-Car Park Cavalière in Le Lavandou.
