Daytime parking, overnight banned

After asking at the tourist office, we learned that an order states that this parking area is for motorhomes during the day only!✦Translating

I think few people understood the signs: the one at the entrance mentions nearby campsites and their prices, as well as another parking area with the 8 a.m.–10 p.m. rule. But this information does not apply to this area. The second sign states that you may park free of charge day and night, but without putting out a table, chairs, or awning. So it is a great area to stay for one day or more.✦Translating

Thank you to the municipality for providing a site for motorhome users. Motorhomes may park but may not camp, with no services. It is 150 m from the town center and 100 m from the station, beside an old railway line. Starting point for hikes and mountain-bike trips to the lighthouse and beaches.✦Translating

“Fellow motorhome travelers,” you are welcome... to spend your money, but at night you have to go elsewhere... Well, that is what I do, but during the day and night... They do not want us at night, so the same applies during the day.✦Translating

Town center five minutes on foot. Shops, restaurants, the sea—everything is within easy reach. Easy access. Excellent!✦Translating

Stopping is possible until 10 p.m., but officially spending the night there is not permitted.✦Translating

Pretty, large, free parking area for spending the day. Thank you to the municipality.✦Translating

Indeed, it is a shame that you cannot spend the night there, especially with the nice little restaurants at the station. Close to the port.✦Translating

We are not welcome; it is impossible to park overnight even though there is space! Let us stand together and do not spend money here! Municipality, rethink your policy!✦Translating

The signs clearly state that motorhomes may park but may not camp! So I visit, but I do not spend money! Apparently, the municipality does not need us to support the local businesses! We will move on.✦Translating

We stopped there for a short break, just to walk to the port and have a little ice cream... Daytime parking only, specified on a sign from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. from April 1 to October 15. It also includes useful information, such as waste disposal available at Éléphant Bleu.✦Translating

We stayed there during the day to go for a bike ride. Very well located for that.✦Translating

We stopped here to visit the town and eat a good ice cream. Let’s continue.✦Translating

Parking regulated for overnight stays from April 1 to October 15, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. only; tickets are issued regularly. An area five minutes away in Baubigny costs €10 and includes electricity and water.✦Translating

Very good at this time of year. Large parking area. Only two motorhomes at lunchtime.✦Translating

Contrary to what I have read, it is not possible to sleep there from certain dates, especially when the campsite has opened.✦Translating

No, the area is open all year for parking. The closure only concerns the waste-disposal areas! As for overnight stays, it is perfectly permitted to sleep there. The sign only says that putting out an awning, table, chairs, etc. is prohibited. This type of sign is common in the region.✦Translating

Shame on the municipality. It is October 5, 2023, and we cannot stay overnight in the motorhome parking area, so we are forced to go to a campsite. Why? There are not many people around at the moment! What a shame for such a renowned town and for the shopkeepers, whom I will not support when I am not welcomed by the town hall. I will move on. Goodbye.✦Translating
