Anyone knows about the 2008 situation concerning the usage of swimming pools?

Werner, I would think that once the ACO got the upper hand by banning them and enforcing the ban they will keep it up,come in Termie and KPY.

I have no idea about the pools but I suspect that as the ACO are charged for all the water they use (eveybody is France is metered) that there will be a ban, but that it may be locally controlled, not by the gendarmes, as the water situation in general is much better now and there are no hosepipe restrictions etc at present.
The costs incurred by the ACO in the use of large amounts of water by a few will just be absorbed in increased camping ticket prices for all of us anyway, so I doubt if the ACO themselves will actually get stuffed by this, it will be us who pay in the end.

Cool. So I get my pool and everyone else has to pay for it. Win/win.  |

If you turned up with your own bowser full of water, I wonder if they would allow you to fill a pool?
Just a thought....

Pools are banned full stop now. They do the tour of the campsite from time to time. However, if you can get away with it what the hell. Thought  If it's the same weather as last year why bother? |
