Camping-Car Park de Dreux - Rue Jean-Louis Chanoine 28100 Dreux - 9pl / 11 € - all amenities - GPS: N 48.74029, E 1.33227 - pay via account camping-car park and entrance with pass Etapes card. Since we have the privilege pack, we reserved a place in advance. Also for the way back. Quiet camper place ideal as a stopover. Nice anecdote: It is provided that you spend the night at the motorhome and can book a package to visit Paris.
Motorhome stopover France Passion - bison farm at Jean Lutier - 5pl - no amenities - Lieu dit “Chez Peyrut”, 87330 Saint-Martial-sur-Isop - GPS: N 46.16049, E 000.89832. Place enough on the meadow that is used as a camper stop. Very peaceful. Together with the owner we made a tour among the bison. Very special; read more about this in our travelogue
Official Motorhome stopover: Rue du Stade, Oradour-sur-Glane - 30pl / free - facilities without electricity - GPS: N 45.93570, E 1.02471 - at ± 1km from the memorial centre. It is a quiet camper place located on sports grounds. The places are narrow. But for 1 night this is no problem for us.
Camping de Beaufort: Moulin de Beaufort (Lieu-dit Beaufort) 87400 Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat - 17 € / night + 1 € tourist tax (TT) - all amenities - spacious pitches delimited by hedges. Due to the corona measures, the sanitary blocks (like all other campsites) are cleaned several times a day. Showers were 1 € with plenty of warm (hot) water.
Parking Champ de Foire: Official camper place - Rue des Fusilles, 988 Aubusson - 70pl / free - service station, no electricity - GPS: n45.95694 e2.17528 - 500m from the centre It is a very large mixed car park. During the day there are of course many passenger cars, but there is enough space. Normally it is quiet in the evening, but because it was still warm that night, we had a lot of noise from the open windows of the adjacent (social) apartments.
Camping La Presqu’île: - Broussas - 23460 Royère de Vassivière - 17 € / night + 0.40 € TT - all amenities - our pitch was slightly higher, giving us a beautiful view of the lake. Minus point: to reach the place you have to go up the steep slope. The rear bumper of our motorhome hit the ground. There was a completely new sanitary building.
Official motorhome site Meymac: at the bottom of the camping municipale de la Garenne - Boulevard de la Garenne, 19250 Meymac. 30pl / free - service station, no power - 500m from the town. Our intention was to be on the campsite to have electricity. There were no managers present and we looked for a place. We were soon referred by the few campers present to another place on the campsite; so to speak because we had no satellite connection with them. Already seemed very bizarre. We found a nicer place and wanted to fill up with fresh water first. At that moment the manageress arrived who told us very unfriendly that we could not take water and only had to fill up with water at the bottom of the camper stop. We then kindly thanked her and installed ourselves downstairs on the motorhome. We had no electricity, but saved the 11 € camping fee. That campsite is the first campsite that we strongly advise against!
Camping municipal Corrèze - Rue de la Chapelle, Corrèze - 9 € / night - all amenities - 650 from the centre - GPS: N 45.37167, E 1.88005. We paid € 18.80 for two nights, including tourist tax. It was a bit confusing on arrival. The campsite has 3 locations marked with 1 sign: campsite A, campsite B and campsite C. A is a motorhome pitch with 10 places. But only suitable for vans and smaller campers. We could not turn in the places because the trees were much too low. B is located a little further and can only be reached via a narrow bridge (2.10 m wide). It is therefore only accessible for bus campers and campers with a tent. We eventually found a place at camp site C. It is a pleasant camp site with spacious marked out pitches. Plumbing is outdated, but was clean. The friendly manager will receive you on site.
camping municipal - Route du Longour, 19400 Argentat - 21 € / night - all amenities - spacious pitches - new sanitary facilities, only accessible with code. Showers 1 €. Immediately at the campsite, a small road that then runs further along the water to the town is ± 800m to the centre
Aire de Camping-Car - Rue du Général de Gaulle, 19120 Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne - 20pl / 6 € - all amenities - 500m from centre. Elongated camper place where all campers are opposite the road. At the rear is a rugby field. On the second part it is now planned that there are two campers between the trees. The places are so narrow that you can barely open your door. We, like everyone else on that area, stood alone among the trees. You can say; egoistic, but there are still enough places left, more than the 20 proposed places.
Parking Le Marchadial: official camper place Collonges-La-Rouge - GPS: N 45.05833, E 001.65889 - 40pl / 8 € - all amenities - 500m from the beautiful village. Since you only have to pay from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m., there are many campers during the day that only park to visit the village. So there are few free places during the day. I think 10 am is the ideal time to arrive. The first overnighters have left and the day tourists have not arrived yet.
Motorhome stopover France Passion: Les Délices du Gaulois, pig farm (in the open air) - Les Granges, 19520 Cublac - 5pl / free - there could be more campers, we had the entire camper place to ourselves - GPS: N 45.15946 E 001.28463. It was a nice experience to spend the night there. The very friendly owners gave us a tour of the nursery. Too bad we couldn't buy meat. All products that come from their breeding have already been reserved until January 2021. The pigs live in the open air and have a place to sleep on their premises. There are only 9 to 12 pigs per hectare. They live a luxurious life and eat a lot of acorns outside of their diet. Their domain is full of oak trees.
campsite La vénèzie: Route de Saint-Pardoux, 19210 Lubersac - 17 € / night - all amenities - beautiful campsite, but few camping pitches - most of the pitches are lodges and residential caravans (almost no occupancy) - here too we were the only campers. The sanitary complex was very clean. Our only intention for this location was to stay overnight. It was nice because the campsite is located on a lake. In good weather it is very busy.
Most camper pitches where we stayed overnight were in the immediate vicinity of the places we visited. In the towns where we did not stay overnight, we found a decent parking space near the centre. That was for the following places:
Limoges: In Limoges itself, all parking spaces and parking are only suitable for passenger cars. We parked just outside the centre in a large free car park at rue Victor Duruy. Via the avenue Jean Gagnant it is 800 m to the centre.
Gimel-les-Cascades: Parking Le Bourg. Just before entering Gimel a narrow road leads down to the car parks. One of them is also a camper place with 20 free places. There is also a service station. GPS: N 45.30215, E 001.85186. Due to the corona pandemic, there were far fewer tourists (only French… and us), but in normal circumstances the falls are very busy and it will be difficult to find a parking space.
Arnac-Pompadour: Place du Château. Ample free parking along the avenue immediately at the castle of "mde de Pompadour". Please note that there is also a car park at the front of the castle, but campers are not allowed to park (it is very unclear).
