France Ferry & Campsite info (use Search function) mod warning post 1

Wearing boxer shorts in the pool.....Jesus. If you saw it at a pool at home you'd be having words with the managers.

Imagine not going on holidays because you won't wear a pair of cycling shorts in a pool 😄

Loved seeing (mostly Irish) people being pulled up on it Pin Parasol. They were so consistent about the rules. It became a source of amusement for us the more it happened.

On the speeding ticket thing, I've never used Waze or the likes in my life.

Before going for the first time last year a friend warned us about the strict speed limits.

So for the duration of the driving in France we used the limiter or the cruise control on the car and common sense to stay within the rules.

Nothing fancy, just using what was already there in the car and in our heads.

You can use a slimmed down version of Waze (gives alerts but you can't warn people) on the tesla web browser, do a search for "Tesla Waze" and I think it's the first or second on the list

I think the best thing to do though would be to use your cars screen for maps and your phone with a holder, or your wifes phone, for Waze

Just on the phone data.... Someone suggested gomo World earlier in the thread. I bought an esim on a 30 day deal for 29.99 with 85gb of data. Wanted it for Google etc but also to watch the all Ireland final on Sunday with our.... Ahem... Streaming box. And now that's it's lashing rain it's been used the last few days for TV and some movies. Still 60gb left on it.

Yeah I think the 85gb I got was some kind of offer. Definitely don't need that much.

I had no issue charging my phone while using it as a hot-spot though. But the battery definitely drains really fast using it.

easy to say but getting a fine for 114 in a 110 is hardly speeding.

Waze through a browser is not a fully integrated experience. It lacks navigation functionality. Use the app.

Doing so in Tesla is pointless. Just set the Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to be on or slightly under speed limit. The car will do the rest. You can also set a speed limit in Controls > Safety > Speed Limit Mode.

Waze and Google Maps are both owned by Google but differ slightly. Good article here on the difference.

They don't

I find the TACC on autosteer not to be the most reliable. It often misreads road signs and on motorways and dual carriageways it allows you to speed

Hi all, over 10 years into doing the campsite thing however looking for a recommendation please! We’ve done La Croix du Vieux Pont 3 times, La Baume 3 times, Les Ormes twice, Castell Montgri (Spain) twice, La Vallee and Les Mouettes. For next year looking for somewhere guaranteed heat in July, great water slides, good on site entertainment and lively in the evening, walking distance to the beach, local town, restaurants etc. The last part is a must!, don’t want to be in a campsite where you have to drive 20 mins to a beach or restaurant!! All ideas will be gratefully considered!!! Thank you

Sylvamar!! Currently here and while the local restaurants aren't amazing, they're not bad and the on-site entertainment both during the day and in the evening in class. They have an amphitheatre that holds nearby 500 people and it's jammed every evening for the shows.

Definitely the best French site I've been to and I'll be sticking up a full review after we leave
