Hi Batterygirl,
I've just read this, did anyone help you out with the beaches? There are a lot of nudist beaches in France, I can send you a list if you like. You can find special activities happening on any beaches in France, but it is a case of being in the right place at the right time.
"La plage de l'espiguette" is probably the your best bet for "special activities" and seems to be the most popular beach with the French, but you have to pay to park at the beach carpark, and it used to be a little steep for motorcaravans. Many of the French park miles away and cycle there!
"La plage de pissevache" can also be good, there are miles of dunes but it tends to be windy there at times. Parking used to be free, but they were building new carparks last time I was there, so you may have to pay now.
If you are into wild camping then "la plage de Piémanson" is the place to head for.
If you are looking for British swingers and the nightlife, then it has to be the Cap d'Agde.
Hope that is of some use.
Dave.
I live on the Atlantic coast of France, but I'm hoping to be selling my property later this year and moving to the Mediterranean. Due to the distances involved and the amount of time it takes to search for properties in France, I'm looking for some short-term accommodation nearer to the area I'm hoping to move to, which is dept 34. This won't be until the end of 2014 at the earliest, more likely it will be spring 2015
Ideally I'm looking for someone with a gîte or campsite that maybe interested in letting something off-season in return for help with maintenance etc., but all offers considered. I have both building and gardening skills, and I'm at ease living/working in a naturist environment if required.
If anybody can help out, then please feel free to pm me, info on sites or gîtes you may have stayed at, would also be welcome.
Thanks
Yes we must stay "on topic"
Last night I was chatting to a Brit who lives in Spain, and he reckoned that all those British caravans we used to see over here, weren't Brits on holiday, but retired Brits who either had property in Spain, or lived in their caravans on Spanish sites off-season. He said many of them were back n forth all the time, for dental appointments, eye tests etc, and of course stocking up on their HP sauce and teabags! Seems the exchange rate and rising cost of living over here, mean that the travelling pensioners can no longer afford to travel!
Hello Musketeer,
You could be right, I think the final straw for many people may have been when P&O pulled out of Cherbourg; there was quite a noticeable drop in numbers after that. A few people in France offer caravan storage, but it never seemed to catch on.
I'm talking about the tens of thousands of British caravans, motorcaravans and trailer tents that were until just a few years ago such a common sight on French motorways, not just visiting France, but en-route for Spain and Italy also.
Ok, I can see that the exchange rate, coupled with escalating fuel and ferry costs have made crossing the channel less attractive, but when you consider the small fortune that many motorcaravans cost to buy, then the cost of fuel and ferry fares, pale into insignificance.
Anyway I would be interested to hear the reasons from folk who no longer visit the continent with their own accommodation. Perhaps some of you on here still do?
Any guys on this site into post orgasm masturbation? That’s wanking or being wanked after you have cum, if you didn't know.
Also are there any ladies into watching or lending a helping hand?
