Do you have a towbar? If so the french for "winch" is "treuil" which is pronounced to rhyme with "feuille" as in "leaf". We seem to be getting our wires crossed with you being on two different parts of the forum, so pms might be best. I'll leave the computer switched on. You can give me messages and phone numbers if you want me to talk to people for you.

Find a farmer with a tractor, if the campsite is close ask them if they know anyone, they should get you out, back on the road then you can use recovery if needed or try to repair, sorry I am not closer but am about 6 hours away
good luck, most of the land rover parts people will post to France, parts are a lot cheaper and normally arrive in 2 to 3 days

Yeah I am about 5 hours away, probably more as Google maps is so optimistic!

It's at the garage, could fix it myself but al credits to garage deheeger.

It took a hand winch, I am going to buy one, and 3 people and some fresh cut blocks of wood to sustain the axle down or body up

Glad you got out OK. Did you have proper recovery points on your truck? If not, you might want to get some!

Good man, and that would have saved both time and collateral damage. Hope you enjoy what is left of your holiday.

Haha, stanleysteamer if we knew all air suspension bags where on my list at paddocks. Chose suspension dampers and spacers and an ace repair.
