Cheers for that, DeeDub. Was planning something along those lines next time. I have to take in Sisteron (mum lives there) and that's not so far from that route.
Yeah, I did loosely plan the route (streetview is great for having a look to see what sort of roads you're contemplating) and had a fair idea of the area I was likely to be get to each day. I printed off details of the municipal campsites in that rough area, so I had alternatives to hand. The Muncipal campsites were great - Euro 5.90 per night (£4!) and were fine (though I generally saved some of my ablutions for a decent service station!) The only commercial site I stayed on was on Isle de Re off La Rochelle, and that was Euro 18.00 - quite a difference when your beer money is on a budget.
