Camping Cars...

[CharenteMaritimeGite]

I've seen one or two posts here regarding Camping Cars, but is this the right forum? I have in mind general discusions and information/advice/opinions on things like Aires, places to visit, events etc.

Specifically at the moment - where to park a Camping Car on the southern outskirts of Paris so that we can give our American family visitors a taste of the capital?

Try the Bois de Boulogne, only camping site within the capital.

Lifted from a camping car forum: Le plus adapté, car le plus près) à une visite de Paris est le camping du bois de Boulogne (il vaut mieux réserver)
Il y a une navette pour prendre le métro porte Maillot et un bus le 244
01 45 24 30 00
Un peu plus loin mais possible aussi le camping de Maisons Lafitte
1 rue johnson (dans l'ile) 78600 Maisons Lafitte
01 39 12 21 91
la gare de Maisosns Lafitte est reliée par le train à la gare de Paris Saint Lazare et par le RER A qui mène au coeur de Paris en une vingtaine de minutes avec une fréquence de 5 mn aux heures d'affluence et de 10 mn aux heures creuses.

Sorry pachapa, but Bois de Boulogne is not only campsite in Paris, there is also one south east at Champigny sur Marne  www.campingparis.fr they are part of the same organisation I think.

I have stayed at both, Bois de Boulogne is closer to the city centre, literally a good stroll, but the other one has a regular bus service to the RER station at Joinville le Pont with very regular trains into Paris. This one is now my preferred choice as although not as central, it is easier to access with a big camper.

Ohhh you are a wag with a big camper!! Can I pop my Romahome inside?

If you take the trouble to actually read my post you will see I wrote as follows...." only camping site within the capital"

There is an important difference between Department 75 and  Department 94 but then I presume you would also place Disneyland and perhaps even Beauvais within LA CAPITALE.

Sorry pachapa, don't do squatters or subletting [:)]

The OP specifically asked for the Southern outskirts of Paris, I feel that this campsite answers that description somewhat better than the Bois de Boulogne, OK it is in 94 but is literally the other side of the Marne from Paris proper.

You presume too much, I don't work for Ryanair and therefore do not consider Beauvais as Paris, nor do I consider Disneyland to be Paris even though the nice Mr O'Leary says Disneyland is serviced by Vatry airport, being described as Vatry Paris on their site, when it is however, nearer to Reims than Paris.

I endeavoured to answer the OP's question as best I could, and as the website for the campsite is www.campingparis.fr and it does lie just 0.5km from Paris I feel that my response should not justify such a supercilious reply from your good self.
