Overview Without a doubt the aire de camping cars at Neufchatel en Bray is one of the best aires in France. This aire has individual pitches, each having a hardstanding, grass sitting area, electricity and water. Each pitch is separated from the next by hedges. The aire at Neufchatel en Bray is within easy walking distance on a large supermarket and the town and located next to the path of a disused railway line that is now used as a footpath and cycleway.

Add to that the location is within easy driving distance of Calais which makes it a good overnight stay, no wonder it is full most of the time, so if you want to stay here the best time to arrive is around lunchtime so that the motorhomes who are moving on will have gone. If there are no pitches available here, then you can drive 100 metres further where there is a campsite with very reasonable fees, or you can drive the short distance to Mesnièrs en Bray where there is a free aire de camping cars, not quite as well appointed but close by and free.

This is the aire de camping cars that sets the standard by which other aires can be judged.
