bobgarden Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi Off to Spain in a few days and am looking for a night halt near Le Mans Any suggestions please? Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Grumpy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 How near is near? Aires or camp sites? We have used aires at Villedomer, Alencon and St Denis les Ponts. Camp sites at Alencon, Fresnay sur Sarth & Sille le Guillaume. You will have to check the CC book to see if the camp sites are open when you need them.

bobgarden Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks for all your replies I could have been more specific and given more info about what Iwas looking for! There is a site in the CC book vol 1 which is about 15kms from le mans at mezieres sous lavardin which is suposed to be open. If it is not, I might try the aire on the quai of the Sarthe. Thanks again one and all Regards Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 We have been past Le Mans several times but this September used he quai on the Sarthe aire. It is is about ten minutes walk from the town centre in a residential area and fairly quiet. There are only about eight places and when we were there filled up by about 3.30pm The Roman town walls are special, standing 20m high and amongst the best preserved in the world.

bob M Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi bob, Tried to answer sooner but travelling and could not remember login details till today. Le Mans aire hard to find N48deg.00ft.08.0ins E00deg.11ft.22.3ins (garmin) 10th Nov.2008 full of 8 local white van man & 3 M/H. Better bet Coulans Sur Gee small village side of N157 west of Le Mans N48deg.01ft.17.6ins. E00deg.00ft.54.9ins. 4 free electric points (24hrs) pitches not marked but room for 6 M/H. When you find aires like this you look on the UK as total rip-off. bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgarden Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Bob M Many thanks for detailed information. Much prefer the sound of the village - Coulans Sur Gee - easily found on google maps. Have added the location as a favourite on sat-nav.

PeteH Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi If you do use Coulans Sur Gee (Aire de camping) Give us a "heads up" on the forum. I am going down in January and this could be a better N-H than the usual, especially as we are on a "later" boat than usual.. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgarden Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Pete H If its good - I will let you know when I get settled Regards Bob G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgarden Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi I promised to report back on Coulans Aire - it would have been fine but I arrived late (4ish) and it was full of both tourers and itinerants. I slept on the autoroute aire. regards Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
