The “Invitations Formula” is the free alternative to the formality of campsites and
‘Wild camping’. It is offered to all motorhome owners by the wine-growers and
farmers of France.
It’s an informal welcome that lets you to park overnight (up to 24 hours), on their
property, without any payment or financial obligation.
- How the “Invitations Formula” works On the property owner's side:
On the motorhome owners side :
Each
Winemaker
or
Farmer
participating in the “Formula” has
signed a yearly invitation addressed
exclusively to people with campingcars, who are travelling with a fully
equipped vehicle (i.e. water, sanitation,
refuse disposal etc.).
France Passion receives this invitation
and sends it to people who are
interested in the scheme.
With this document the property
owners have agreed to allow camping
cars, within the framework of the
“Formule INVITATIONS”, to stay freely
and without charge on a single site on
their property for a day and a night,
limited to 24 hours for any one stay.
Admitted as a guest, for having
accepted the functioning rules and
after having first made a written
request, people with camping cars will
receive a personal Invitation Card, a
windscreen
vehicle
identification
sticker, and the Invitations Handbook,
for the current year.
The camping-car owner agrees to
benefit from these invitations
exclusively during their period of
validity (Easter to Easter).
The invitation card and the windscreen
sticker are offered by the property
owners through France Passion; only
the Invitations Handbook, produced by
the publisher, costs 27€;
All
the
participating
property
owners are listed in an annually
produced handbook called the
“Carnet des Invitations” (Invitations
Handbook).
The cost of the "Invitations
Handbook" is all you pay to enjoy
and experience the advantages of
the ‘Invitation Formula’ for a year
(Easter to Easter).
