Two motorhome aires in the Var, an hour’s drive apart. The Collobri\u00e8res<\/strong> aire (l’Aigo Fre), deep in the Maures hills, is free<\/strong> all year round: a large meadow by the river, 500 m from the village, with no electricity or water on site and 26 km by road from the sea. The Chez Marcel<\/strong> aire, in Les Issambres, has 14 pitches facing La Gaillarde beach and is open all year round<\/strong>: \u20ac16 to \u20ac24 a night<\/strong>, electricity, water and waste disposal included.<\/p>\n

A free, self-sufficient stop for hiking in the Maures: Collobri\u00e8res. The sea a 1-minute walk away, with electricity and showers: Chez Marcel.<\/p>\n
