Brian Kirby Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Here's one to start the ball rolling: France, NW from Montlucon on D916, on edge of village of Huriel. Camping Municipal Le Moulin de Lyon. Signposted in village, narrowish road to site but passing possible. In valley, by stream: idyllic. Quiet, some permanent units but plenty of touring spaces. Toilets, showers water. Toilet waste disposal but no M/H services. No shop: stock up and empty out before arriving. "Mobile" warden visits evenings and mornings, let yourself in and pitch yourself on arrival. Motorhome + 2 June 2006, 5.95 € / night (No, really!). In Caravan Europe Guide 2006, p413, under Montlucon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrytraveller Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have just received the http://www.campingcar-infos.com/index1.htm DVD came within three days of ordering off the web. The DVD works very well and is an image of the link above on the web, a cut down version is available on CD, and I believe the CD in it's entireity could be loaded onto a laptop HD. However - the DVD will not load onto the laptop HD I have found. This appears to be due to one of the directories on the DVD exceediing the number of files that can be loaded onto a FAT32 formatted HD.

Norma Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 We've had no problems loading the CAMPING CAR INFOS CD contents and it works perfectly ... The trick is to make a new directory (say: C:\campingcarinfos) then COPY the entire CD to that location. Go back and search for the file called Index.htm and then copy this file location as a desktop ikon. It should be something like C:\Campingcarinfos\PC\Campingc\Index.htm Right click to select an appropriate icon afterwards. Clicking on this will open the web site in Internet Explorer as if you were on line with all functions - to save space you can be clever and no bother copying some of the subsidiary files such as the sat nav location files. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philman Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Terry, I think you can convert your HD to NTFS system then you shouldn't have a problem. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Turner Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Can anyone tell me if there is an English version of the disc ? The disc could be invaluable if we are able to understand it - sadly our French is not so good !! Peter Turner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Peter: The disks are essentially straight copies of the data on the website, so the vast majority of the material is in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Turner Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Thanks Derek - have to brush up on language - what made us think this is that forum letter Camping Car infos posted by peejay who mentioned the site owner had added an English guide to use in the site.

Brian Kirby Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 MikeFollow Terry's link to the site, enter the site (entrez site) then click on the CD pic centre bottom. You'll see it is available outside France (a l'etrangere) for 16.50 Euro. Credit card via PayPal.If you want to use the site itself, look down the column on the left of the first "page". Look for "rechercher un aire", click on that and you'll get a map of France, showing the departements numbered. Click on the one you're interested in and you will see where the aires are, as well as having the option of getting a printable list. Alternatively click on an aire symbol on the departement map and the details will open. You can get a brief description of how it works in English from this "page" by following the "English" link top left.Don't be too hard on them, they are French and don't necessarily speak English, and the site is an amateur production. If you really explore you'll find they have even sniffed out two aires in UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
