Bandol, France is one of my favorites. Our parking is right beside a park where the senior citizens of Bandol play the popular sport called Petanque and where the flea market is set up once a week, which is right beside the marina and is just on the right of the main street's restaurants and shops. We stayed 3 nights. GPS 43.13334 5.75185
Outside of the town of Saint-Maxime is a restaurant called Mario Plage. We think the parking lot beside the sea is for the customers of the restaurants but when we arrived at around 9pm the restaurant is already closed so we thought we can park for the night and leave in the morning. We stayed one night. GPS 43.31783 6.66591
After leaving our parking spot in Mario Plage early morning, we drove a short distance and found this huge parking at a commune of Saint-Maxime called Les Issambres. We stayed here all day and found the place to be very relaxing and we felt we can stay there a long time and nobody would bother us. We saw two men who set up a tent and hammock in a not very well hidden spot in the bushes/woods. GPS 43.36172 6.71593
Next is a commune of Saint-Raphael called Agay. We left a McDonalds location around 1130pm because we did not felt safe there so we drove and found this very well lighted street parking across from a hotel with no sign of business (doesn't look like a haunted place though). We stayed one night GPS 43.42683 6.87630
Our last favorite came unexpectedly. We have given up on the Italian Riviera because every towns and cities have NO PARKING sign for campers - then came this parking right beside the sea, our closest to the sea parking ever. On the entrance of the parking grassy lot is a machine meant to collect parking payments but when we came it was not functional. My husband talked to people from another camper and they informed him they have not paid any amount of money for their 5 nights stay mainly due to the machine being out of order. The town is called Noli. We stayed one night here. GPS 44.21582 8.41602
We have an idea of staying "forever" in France in these free camping spots, moving from one spot to the other, enjoying the beauty of nature and living happily ever after.
