Sylv and Neil Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hello and thank you to everyone who responded to our plea for help. In answer to Bobs response, the incident happened on the Aire at Honfleur in France in March. A number of Irish gypsies arrived about the same time , they were moved around the aire by the French police but were not moved off. We were not directly near them until a couple of vans moved off, then we became neighbours to a family with teenage children who spent their time perfecting their catapulting skills. Sitting in the van one afternoon I heard a very loud crack and discovered the window had been broken and the children climbing over each other to get into their caravan. The police were informed but no real action taken, the gypsies remained. We discovered a couple of days later that an elderly Dutch couple had their front light cluster broken in the same way. Be careful if you visit Honfleur, your visit can be costly in more ways than one. Sylv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 We pulled on to the Honfleur Aire on 8th March and there was an assortment of unsavoury looking vans and caravans and occupants so we just did the loo and got water and moved off to a quieter spot for the night at the free Aire at La Riviere St Sauveur.

Derek Uzzell Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I believe the aire de services at Honfleur is regularly occupied by 'travellers' who pay no fee for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
