peter21 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi all We are thinking of stopping a night or two on this aire, which 'All the Aires' guide says is open Nov to March. Does anyone know anything about this aire? Is it likely to open on Nov 1st? Any one know any time of day when traffic in St Tropez is reasonably quiet.... It was gridlocked when we went round the ring road last Friday afternoon en route to the aire at Ramatuelle (which we liked). Thanks in advance.

Derek Uzzell Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I’ve never visited St Tropez in a motorhome but, as far as I can make out from on-line information, the only ‘proper’ camping-car aire there is the one detailed here http://www.golfe-saint-tropez-information.com/fr/hebergement/aire-de-camping-car/saint-tropez/aire-privee-de-camping-car/4193 http://www.campercontact.com/fr/campersite/detail/id/4417 The first link mentions that it’s possible for camping-cars to stay at the Parking du Port in winter, but the following document http://ouest-var.ingenie.fr/documents/CAMPING_CARS_2014.pdf states that it’s only forbidden for motorhomes to stay there during July and August. There’s a photo of motorhomes on the car-park here http://a.ccl.free.fr/annuaire/btsphotos/83.htm (It may be worth adding that I came across a comment (not on a motorhome forum) complaining that the cost of parking in St Tropez was high and €15 was quoted per 24 hours for Parking du Port. If that’s correct, it might be preferable to stay at the private aire - though that gets mixed reviews too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter21 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks Derek that is very helpful. As you say the private aire gets very mixed reviews (one of the foreign language reviews gets translated delightfully as 'Oh so cosy' . I'm not sure that's a positive.) So we will probably try the yacht harbour aire. There is 16 cm of rain forecast for the Côte d'Azur on Tuesday so it may be time to move on shortly.

robertandjean Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Peter, have not been to St Trop in period when aire is supposed to be open but in reality it is simply the car parking area. Certainly signs prohibiting motorhomes in peak seasons, and do recall some of entrances are narrow, so not sure if you will be able to stop or not. For visiting St Tropez we always stay on the aire at St Maxine and visit by either boat, the best way, or bus. From memory boats run right up to Christmas. Aire is urban, next road and McDonald's, and can be busy but worth for ease of access to St Tropez. Cost think now is 10€/night, no electricity. Hope this helps.

peter21 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks....You're right...I 'phoned Parking du Port and it is an eye watering €2.40 an hour for the first five hours then €1.70 an hour subsequently. So its gone up a lot since the 'All the Aires' book was published. So not a good overnight stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not sure about this aire but last year when we visited the one in the aires book at Port Grimaud was 15 euro and the ACSI site Prairies de la Mer was 16 euro with all services about 100 yrds apart Bus to St Tropez from outside the gate 1.50 e return ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
