I see in C&C magazine May 2003 issue that a recent French law has made
wild camping illegal in France. Is this taking people by surprise, or has it been expected? -- Alan Cocks Berkshire UK

Whether there is a law or not, as in the UK, I would have thought the police would not bother you if you park sensibly and not create a nuisance. Chris

wild camping illegal in FranceAlan, I thought wild camping had been illegal in France for years! Mainly because of the fire risk in summer from cooking outside. It is rigidly enforced. This has nothing to do with parking a motorhome (overnight) & enjoying this beautiful country.

difficult! We were moved on once by a stroppy frenchman and there were plenty of signs around saying no wild camping - however the Tourist Office gave information about locations were it was possible for just one night (was this out of date info?) Trevor Mace CI Itaca www.abacus-web.co.uk
