How many French aires are free
As of August 27, 2026, 66% of French aires whose source states a price are free: 682 of 1,026.
What it means on the road
Free is the norm among French aires that publish a price. Another 34 are free to park but charge for the service point, and 310 charge to stay the night.
Even at a free aire, the borne (the service point for water and emptying your tanks) often takes a token or coins, so carry some. The sign at the entrance beats any listing, this one included.

How this is counted
- Counted: the 2,966 aires in France on FreeCampMaps, each with the fee its source record gives.
- Free means the source says free. Aires that are free to park but charge for services are counted separately, not as free.
- 1,940 aires give no price at all. They are left out of the share entirely, as neither free nor paid, because a missing price is not a free one. The share is worked out over the 1,026 aires that do state one.
