Camping in France! I love it. According to some guide books, there are
about 8,000 camping sites in France. In 2006 I visited 4 sites.
means in English, I guess. I had never realized camping was so
convenient and practical until 2006 when I travelled in France
to follow "Tour de France".
I camped out at places not designated for camping. People just
put out their tents wherever (along the parcours of the TdF stages)
they wanted. I joined them. I guessed, at that time, that the police
turned a blind eye to those campers during TdF as long as they
did not disturb the local community.
I talked to people who also chased the Tour and they told me
that the police helped them find the place to put out their tents
where usually camping is not allowed. I can not say that this is
always the case with the police and campers outside designated
camping sites.
Staying at camping sites is very reasonable (or at least cheaper)
than staying at hotels. I am not sure if staying at camping sites
is more fun than staying at YMCA (you know, the Village People),
though.
They have at least restrooms with running water, hot showers
and most importantly, security. All you need is a tent, sleeping
bag and a cooker of some kind to boil water for a cup of coffee.
I purchased Garmin StreetPilot C510 Deluxe December 2006.
And I love it. Driving to unknown locations via unknown route
has never been so easy.
