This Northern France based circuit only just managed to scrape a star! But it really is a great party venue so we can overlook its bad points.
Paddocks: There are three paddocks, mostly hard standing, though some is loose shale within the concrete roads. The paddocks are linked by road and a bridge, so no entry restrictions - but you do need to remember to ride on the right when going to and fro as there are plenty of locals around.
Garages: None.
Electricity & water: Take a generator; there power points around the edges but they can be a bit dodgy. Also if you're in one of the inner areas, you need 2 extension leads to reach a point, and may get unplugged without warning if the point starts getting overloaded. There are plenty of water points, but located up hard to access slopes that get muddier the more the water leaks.
Ablutions: Urgh, urgh, urgh. I'm not sure I want to talk about it. What can I say? Take a caravan! The loos in the outer paddock are in a portacabin and are absolutely disgusting holes in the floor; only to be used by blokes or in complete and utter desperation by girls! The inner paddock has a brick building with the only 3 ladies sit down loos and mixed showers; the queues for the showers are huge, and they get very mucky. You need to take some change with you or the cleaner will sulk and leave, taking her loo roll with her - that really must be a low paid job.
Food & drink: The cafe serves food and drink; not sampled it myself though.
Bar: The cafe has a bar, but most of the socialising at Croix is around barbeques in group areas as the weather tends to be divine.
Camping: Possble on the loose shale areas, but you'll need an airbed.
Nearby shops: There is large supermarket in the next town about 2 miles away with loads of weird and wonderful oddities - and pink trollies!
Nearby bars: The nearest town has bars, but the French tend to hold odd hours. It's really hard to get a beer on a Saturday or Sunday night - the place looks like a ghost town!
Nearby fuel: There's a fuel station in the next town.
