MandyAndy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just looking at an aire from Google earth view , no camping car signs but a sign saying Camping Poste on it with what looks like an angel holding a cup and under that an arrow pointing down the street where the aire is meant to be. Any clues? Thanks Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread24800 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Did it say post or 'borne'? which is what the French call the service point for camping cars, the angel could be offering eau potable (drinking water). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Using Google it translates as 'camping station' - where were you looking? If we can see the image we might have more of a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyAndy Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Noyers - the sign is at the end of the road just by the bridge Promenade du pre d'l'Echelle , not marked as aire but is one apparently. Only small next to Boules pitch, sign is at end on main road. Thanks Mandy http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=Promenade%20du%20Pr%C3%A9%20de%20l%27%C3%89chelle%2C%20Noyers%2C%20France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The angel holding a cup is actually an angel holding I think the local coat of arms. It is copied from a local sculpture. see 1st picture down on this link.. http://christaldesaintmarc.eklablog.com/noyers-sur-serein-cite-medievale-a38707742 The symbol appears on all the local direction signs.

Brian Kirby Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The Promenade du Pre de l'Echelle forks. The LH fork is a cul de sac, at the end of which is what appears to be a camp site, possibly very short season, possibly closed, that was probably a municipal. This is presumably what the sign is indicating. There is no aire as such, and no services, but between the two forks of the Promenade du Pre de l'Echelle there is a smallish, free, parking area with, so far as I can remember, no restriction on duration of stay. Noyers is a quite pleasant and attractive little place, with some interesting buildings, so worth a wander around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 ...exactly as Brian says. And Campingcar-infos has a picture with a van parked - easy to match up with the streetview page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
