Michelin France Camping 2012

Post by Ralf85 »

I decided that my previous guide was getting out of date. Just found the 2012 guide on Amazon for £7.43 and free delivery. Bargain.

I ordered a copy from Amazon on the 4th January & the shipping date is somewhere between the 17th - 29th January. I'm still waiting for the email to say that it's been despatched.

Well I hope you are not in a hurry. I have a few months to go before I need it. I wonder if it is stil being printed? It is such an important tool when travelling and particularly if you have any delays. Good luck. Mine is not due for despatch for another fortnight.
:ok

I have the Atlas already. I reckon the camping book must still be at the printers.

The Camping Guide is available directly from the Michelin online shop but it is dearer than buying it through Amazon. Cost from Michelin: £11.99.

Mine arrived on Friday. It must have been a bulk posting. By the way the map references do not relate to the road atlas but to individual Michelin maps. I think that we should lobby them to at least put the green triangle back on the road atlas to show you roughly where camp sites are.

I finally got round to looking at the new guide at the weekend when I transferred my notes from my old guide. The old one was just a list of campsites in alphabetical order and with a very unhelpful plan with all the sites marked on it. Now it is broken down into regions with regional plans and with some roads marked on them. This is so much better. Why did they not do this before? I also noticed that quite a few have been dropped from the guide as they have failed their site inspection.

I have also sent an e-mail to Michelin to complain about them removing the green triangles from the road atlas, that marked camp sites . They e-mailed back to say that they had been told that the removal had been 'commercially driven'. They also confirmed that other people have also complained about this. I say we should complain and perhaps they might reintroduce the green triangles.
