Comment on Wild Camping in France by Patrick

Hi Mary,

I’m glad you’ve found this site helpful!
I definitely think your best bet is to just jump in the car and drive! If you have a rough route of where you’d like to go and what you’d like to see then that is definitely a good thing.
If you plan on sleeping in the VW (as I’m sure you are) then finding “wild camping” spots should be even easier. Most ‘pique-nique’ areas would be fine. You’d have the advantage of being able to move on instantly if anybody has any problems (unlikely they will though).

Of course, speaking French is always a bonus! You can then ask locals for good places to stay (they’re always helpful) and it may help you get out of any sticky situations!

I hope you have a great time.

So glad to find this site. We are going to visit France next Oct for our 35th wedding anniversary and hire a VW camper bus just like one we had back in the 70′s!! We live in Alaska where “wild camping” is commonplace. But we will be completely new to camping in France. Where is the best place to get advice- or just get in the camper and drive? Any helpful tidbit greatly appreciated

Inspired by your comments I have built an Automator “application” which does the same thing, but without using the terminal…

Double click the application
Select the files you want to compress
Files are compressed in-situ (with a .min.js extension)
Growl notification is sent

Let me know if you would like a copy (and you are welcome to distribute it on your site if you wish)

Script still works in Lion 10.7! Just assigned a keyboard maestro shortcut to it so I don’t launch it from launchbar anymore

Good insights there, thanks!

I agree that you should think about looking for places ‘far away from civilisation’. This is what we did and were never pestered. There was one night (one of the first) where we were all a bit scared — a car turned up at about 1am and shone the lights right at the tent. We had no idea what to do! Turns out is was just some more wild campers turning up very late in the night to the picnic spot we were using.

Pay the £10/€20 or so if you’re worried, but if you want the adventure or have done it before and know the ropes, Wild Camping is fine!

I have wild camped a few times in France but was unfortunately woken by the French police. I awoke to a man tapping a machine gun against my camper window. They were very polite but the machine gun seemed to upsett me.
If you use the auto routes or just join them for the evening as there is a toll to pay, you can find a rest area with toilets. Or you can find areas in more scenic routes to pull off for the evening. The further they are away from civilisation the less likely you are to be hasselled.
A fairly important point is that if you use a camp site (£10-20 per night ) you are unlikely to get robbed and you can sleep better if that worries you.
