510 Grenay, near Bully-les-mines

Px3 foc, brand newly completed bays for CCs in the park and activities area of this small town. The water is from a jeton provided foc by the friteur or boulanger.






The elsan dump is a poorly designed worry. It is free but will have to be re-designed i think!
Wifi is soon to be provided and ehu too.

Entrance barrier to deter nomads. Just opened it.



509 Valenciennes, Scheldt

Down a pan handle, the Aire is being re-built and there is currently a barrier restricting access.
Px10 foc, no services (July 16)
It is beside a lovely lake, well used by canoes, boats and other residents

508 Mons West Autoroute

After the fuel and service area, on the designated parking for caravans is this very useful bourne for elsan and water, both foc. There is one also on the eastbound side.

507 Namur (Muese)

Also known as Namen, this university city is also the capital of Wallonia Region. There are 2 rivers, the Meuse being the larger. The SP is not easy to find and behind the swimming pool wall.

Interesting policy; the overnite stay is foc but you have to pay $7.50 for the Bourne.... who ever does?
They just tip their K7 into the grey water drain.

Also the bins are padlocked so litter is left in bags next to it.
