Hello & Thanks G & Gerald,

Based on your replies I will give it a try. I guess if I only use it once or twice it should be good value for money and it does last until Easter.

Illl order

Thanks Again

We subscribed last year, did not use it through lack of time / opportunity. Last night of main holiday planned to stay at one near Beaune, but ended up overnighting in the 6 place MH parking area in a car park just as you come into town. It was wonderful, walking distance to the Town centre. A well kept secret I hope!

Will renew Passion again for '07.

Do these sites accommodate RV's up to 32' long? I suppose this question comes under the 'how long is a piece of string' heading, since each site will be different. But of the sites visited by you seasoned roamers, would a 32 footer fit?

Cheers

Just noticed these posts and have been thinking of joining the scheme for our journey down through France, I presume that you are saying that you've just got the 2007 edition/membership. Would I be right in considering them as an alternative to the Aires? but perhaps with a little more conversation! We are going in December for a month, would we have to stump up as if it was Easter 2006?
I know I could ask them but I'm sure someone will know the answer, keep up the good work!!

I think you would have to ask the organisation. Membership normally runs for one year from March/April. I don't know if they would give you reduced 2006 membership because you are travelling in December 2006 or whether they would extend your 2007 membership to start earlier.

Yes, they are an alternative to aires but often have fewer facilities - ie no dump for waste water or cassette loo. Many have fresh water and a rubbish disposal bin but not all. It depends on what you want by way of conversation. On some Passion sites you don't even meet the owners, just follow the signs. Some are very pleasant and will chat, others will give you directions and let you get on with it. Some have shops or farm stalls, others vineyards, some have restaurants or ferme auberge -they vary hugely depending on what the host does.

By and large, on aires, there are other MHers from all over Europe to talk to and exchange useful information about stopping places and things to see. They are often more crowded and noisier but usually in a town or village so easy to walk to shops, restaurants, sites etc. Passion sites can be pretty isolated but are usually quiet as they mainly limit themselves to a maximum of 5 guests - often there are less there.

Thanks, Gerald. I had wondered - I spose missing out on some of the more rustic spots is the price we pay for having an obscenely immense vehicle.

So on balance I assume we should save our 27 yoyo's for a night on the town. Ok, an evening. . .

Hi

We tend to use a mix of aires and passion Fr. We have had some tremendous stops incl personal guided tours in numerous vineyards, the pleasure of consuming two bottles of premier cru champagne with 5th generation winemakers at no charge. at chigny les roses near epernay.

yes some are out of the way and there is no doubt a little luck is required but it is a great way to meet the locals. The addition of POI downloads for sat nav is something I am looking forward to using.

go well
