Wild camping on the beach in France

[boisdevie]

Tomorrow I'm going to the beach for a picnic. Afterwards I plan to sleep there in the dunes. I'll take a 3 season bag, tarp and hobo stove. Apart from Whisky what else should I take? And any other advice gratefully received.

Facile: des pains au chocolat mais naturellement. Dormir dans les plages francais, c'est impossible sans cettes pains pour le petit dejeuner

Maybe some sort of ground cloth, to keep the sand at bay, swimming shorts and/or towl for a quick morning swim?

Enjoy!

Merci pour ton avis. Avec le temps en ce moment sera genial.

I'm having a picnic on the beach with a very nice French lady. After that I shall be tired and emotional so I';ll sleep there. Why not.

Zut Alors!

You forgot to mention the black and white stripy jersey, beret, string of onions/garlic and a bicycle with a basket.

Bon chance,

Liam

Apart from the Pernod and girl the list is a typical lunch for me on a day walk.

Hi,
camping on the beach is actually forbidden in France and this is the place that is the most likely to be under watch. This is a very fragile ecosystem. If you still want to give it a try be aware that there is a god chance of police visit, so you might want:
- to keep low profile, bivvy rather than tarp; no fire at all; no light
- avoid fixed blades and locking folders; you woul dnot need them if you don't do fire anyway
