French term or phrase: cassette chimique
Une aire de service camping se situe dans le camping avec vidange des eaux usées, cassette chimique, électricité et eau.

I assume this is something to do with some form of chemical toilet.
However, there is probably a specific term for this, so I thought I'd ask.

Asker: Thanks Gilla, yes you're right they are referring to the disposal points for chemical cassettes. "cassette" is the word for used for a specific type of motorhome chemical toilets, according to my link. So you were right there too.
