Two motorhome aires 12 km apart. Sainte-Maxime’s municipal aire<\/strong> is a barrier-controlled car park on the Neuenb\u00fcrg roundabout: \u20ac7 to \u20ac12 a day<\/strong> per vehicle, free water and waste disposal, but no electricity or showers, a 48-hour limit, and many reviews mention traffic noise, even at night. The Chez Marcel<\/strong> aire, in Les Issambres, has 14 pitches facing La Gaillarde beach: \u20ac16 to \u20ac24 a night<\/strong> for two, electricity, water and waste disposal included, the campsite’s showers 50 m away and no limit on your stay.<\/p>\n

A tight budget and a self-sufficient van to explore Sainte-Maxime: the municipal aire. Quiet nights facing the sea, with electricity and showers: Chez Marcel.<\/p>\n
