| Hi, I always order my ACSI card and Aires books from http://www.vicarious-shop.com/Give them a try as they have all of the Aires/Wild camping in France and Spain as well as Portugal so you'll save a small fortune on camp sites. Also if you go anywhere out of season the ACSI card will save you money in the campsites as well. John. | |

| If you're motor homing don't forget France Passion as well, not campsites but if your self contained, farm and vineyards a good way to see rural France | |

| Hi Scott I'm a local so any info you need feel free to ask me. I'm more than happy to help in exchange for beers.  August is a bad time for offroading due the fire season restrictions and also due to the heat. Nevertheless there is a lot to be seen. Regards | |
