I'm in the village of St Florent Le Vieil. It's only a small place and I followed the Motorhome sign to the car park near the sports complex. It's not an aire and it's not in any of the aire books. There is a lovely and incredibly quiet outdoor swimming pool adjacent and a toilet block in the car park with tap as well. Tarmac car park with long bays and is also a vantage point with super views over the Loire valley. Also near church and marked out walks. I haven't yet figured out how to obtain location coordinates out of my Garmin Camper Satnav otherwise I would have put them on as well. It's good for a couple of nights. There's plenty of French mh's stopping here so it must be known locally.

Thanks Kemerton

From your description I'm almost certain it's here. 47.362951, -1.022645

It's on my database (which came from Archie's) as an aire, but possibly listed as an unofficial one. Looks good on Street View. up!

One for the "specials" section I think.

Yes David, that is exactly the spot and I recommend it to anyone passing through the area. The car park is very level also and it is so quiet and peaceful, no traffic noise and a lovely place to sunbathe and swim at the lido or in the Loire whichever takes your fancy.
