If it rains, I think there's 0 chance that anyone would blink if you put up a tarp for additional shelter.
You're also more likely than not a stone's throw from a cheap municipal campsite that at least has a restaurant attached to it with a Michelin Star. This is France, after all!
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoThere are only 632 Michelin starred restaurants in France, and it is only the 6th most-dense country for such establishments. So no, probably not a stones throw away. Still, probably a great boulangerie to make up for it. Apparently, Japan is where you want to be if you want to have the lowest average distance to a Michelin restaurant [0] [0] https://www.chefspencil.com/density-of-michelin-starred-restaurants/ https://www.chefspencil.com/density-of-michelin-starred-rest...

- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoAt your service, with delight!
- justinator 4y agoThe actual funny part of it is that campsites in France are actually starred just like Michelin restaurants on their maps (and on their signs - France of course loves to over-sign everything). A 3 star municipal campsite could be 40 Euros for the night! One of the reasons I spent so many nights in apple orchards.
- j7f3 4y agoThere you go. That's why if I choose to go on a long distance hike it will be in the US rather than France.
- justinator 4y agoHere's one 6km away from camping https://goo.gl/maps/muFXPTy9okhex6U48 https://goo.gl/maps/muFXPTy9okhex6U48 Here's one 3km away, https://goo.gl/maps/Qe3QHtKzo6BQ9Hiz9 https://goo.gl/maps/Qe3QHtKzo6BQ9Hiz9 < 3km, https://goo.gl/maps/QRob7cDWYZ2ufuQi6 https://goo.gl/maps/QRob7cDWYZ2ufuQi6 2.3km https://goo.gl/maps/3kotrgfmjUT4kERbA https://goo.gl/maps/3kotrgfmjUT4kERbA I'm sure we can find one closer, but <10km seems to be not out of the ordinary.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoFrance is 643,801km^2 (that number may include some departments not physically part of "Metropolitan France"). If they were uniformly distributed, 632 restaurants would be 1 per 1018km^2. A land area of 1018km^2 is actually a box about 32km per side, and so on average, a restaurant and a campground would be about 16km apart. So ... you're not far off. IFFFFF the restaurants were evenly distributed. They almost certainly are not.
- justinator 4y agoI would think municipal (the kind you find in a town) campsites - the kind you find in a town would be closer to a Michelin starred-restaurant - also usually in a town, then on average when just looking at total area. Anyways, it's fun to look up things on the Internet I guess, but maybe go and camp in France, and go have some dinner out every once in a while - a little meatspace joie de vivre certainly won't hurt. Usually.
- j7f3 4y agoDo they have a Michelin star system for campsites in France as well? With rankings for grass softness and lavatory fragrance?
- justinator 4y agoIt's mostly to give you an idea on amenities. Like a 1 star campsite will have Turkish toilets and showers; three stars you'll find swimming pools and mini golf courses. Prices for the night usually correlate with stars in an upward trajectory.
