Ok.... here's a full breakdown of site costs.

Camping Emplacement (inc. vehicles, electricity and 2 people.) 19 Euros
Extra people on emplacement 3 Euro per person.

If people are willing to share emplacements then obviously the cost is half. All the emplacements are big enough to share - as long as people don't have absolutely huge tents.

We can co-ordinate this as people arrive. And if we have rough numbers we can book the right number of pitches. Of course - people can simply turn up adhoc too.

I guess most people will prefer to camp but another alternative are 'Eco Tents' and mobile homes that are here on site. These would need to be booked in advance with the campsite. We can help with this and make sure you get a decent spot but the booking would need to be made by the people wanting the accommodation.

Prices are per night per accommodation.
Eco Tent (4 - 5 persons) 41 Euro
Mobile home (4 persons) 52 Euro
Mobile home (4- 6 persons) 57 Euro
Mobile Home (4-6 persons) 62 Euro
Mobile Home (6 persons) 66 Euros
The prices of the mobiles reflect how new the mobile is. Also with all this accommodation some of the beds will be bunk beds/pull out beds.

Campsite bar and restaurant are pretty standard french prices.

But as suggested earlier, if the meet is here, we can provide a communal tent with free tea/coffee, cold s (at very cheap prices) and potentially some food. If people are interested.

OK guess thats it.

This is our 4th summer on this campsite so we know the site and the local area really well and can recommend some good ride outs.

If there's anything we've missed then please let us know - or if anyone has other questions about the facilities/prices then get in touch....



Thanks

Gemma and Mark

This all looks pretty good to me.

Is there a plan to get something going for this September?

Look forward to seeing more information.

Official announcement coming up in a few days- please bear with us!

France Mini-Meet
6th-8th September 2013.
Camping Les Tours, St Amant-des-Cots
Aveyron (Dept 12).
GPS:- 44.695017,2.658691.

Travellers are invited to come to France’s first mini-meet on the above date at the above location. As this is the first meet we are testing the water to establish if the formula works and to see how we could expand the event for next Year. (please bear with us!).

The location is an established holiday site with both camping and fixed accommodation. HU members Mark and Gemma Herron( Gemmasun) are on site during the summer and are making arrangements. As the dates are after the main holiday season there will be minimal contact or involvement with other holiday makers. The site has excellent facilities with a lakeside environment.

There is no fixed schedule, so we are hoping that this will be a friendly get together to both meet and exchange experiences and to get ideas for future more formal meetings. There may be a speaker for Saturday afternoon to share recent travel stories, (volunteers welcome), otherwise it’s an opportunity just to relax, chin wag or explore the local area.

Costs are for accommodation. Your food/drink is entirely to your own budget:

Tent pitch
- €19 night per pitch inclusive of 2 persons, electricity and parking.
Xtra person €3 per night.
(Pitches are sufficiently large enough to accommodate two tents if you're happy sharing to keep costs down).

Fixed accomodation if required:-
Eco Tent (4 - 5 persons) 41 Euro
Mobile home (4 persons) 52 Euro
Mobile home (4- 6 persons) 57 Euro
Mobile Home (4-6 persons) 62 Euro
Mobile Home (6 persons) 66 Euros

There is a restaurant/bar and shop on site and other shops with in very easy reach for provisions of your choice/budget for the BBQ on Sat night.

An easy meal (Bolognese/salad or similar) will be available on the Friday night @€5 a head, and BBQ equipment will be made available for anyone who wishes to use/get involved on Saturday night at the lakeside. (Please bring your own Spork and plate and something to sit on!)

Plan:
Arrival:- Fri afternoon/evening- food available and drinks.
Saturday:- Lazy morning , local rides, lunch out, whatever!!
Tea time speaker. ( Volunteers welcome! and time TBD)
BBq evening, drinks and general jollity.
Sunday:- Breakfast and ideas exchanges for 2014.

Please could interested persons either post up or contact Gemmasun by PM as soon as possible so that we get an idea of likely numbers before the end of June. (If you'd like to share a pitch or book fixed accommodation, please advise on your PM/post)

Look forward to seeing you there!

John, Mark, Gemma
