Brittany & Normandy: cliffs, tides and D-Day
- The Étretat chalk cliffs and Honfleur
- The D-Day beaches and Mont-Saint-Michel
- Saint-Malo, the Côte de Granit Rose and the menhirs of Carnac
136 pages, 4 fully worked-out routes, 8 city guides, and for every single day GPS per stop plus a Plan B for bad weather.
Planning a campervan trip through France means evenings of googling blogs that contradict each other. On the Crit’Air low-emission zones, motorway tolls and the difference between an aire and a campsite you will find almost nothing usable. This guide replaces that research.
Blogs tell you where to go. This book sorts out what each day actually looks like.

From the cliffs of Normandy and the Atlantic coast to Provence and the high passes of the French Alps.
For each day you get: why this stop, the drive, campervan advice, an area to look for overnight spots, a Plan B for bad weather and GPS with a Google Maps link per stop.
Mont-Saint-Michel is the highlight of this route. The tide decides what the bay looks like, so the day is about timing rather than kilometres.
A short stage to the parking area outside the bay. You leave the campervan there; the island itself is reached on foot or by shuttle.
The approach and parking are organised and split by vehicle type. Arrive early and you get a better spot and a shorter walk.
Stay near the bay so you can see the abbey at both low and high tide without driving again. Check water and waste disposal before you move on.
In rain and wind, push the island back half a day and explore the hinterland towards Saint-Malo first.

The Crit’Air low-emission zones (ZFE), motorway tolls, aires versus campsites, water and waste points and the high mountain passes are worked out per day.
From the Normandy coast to the Alps, the weather differs sharply by region. Every single day has an alternative, so one grey day does not wreck the whole trip.
Prices, toll information and low-emission zone rules are checked against the official French sources. Not a dead blog link from 2019.
Each city guide says what you should not miss and what you can happily skip. That saves time and money.
136 pages, everything in it.
A printed guidebook costs 25 euros, holds no campervan information and is already out of date when it goes to print. This guide is the August 2026 edition and made for campervans. One Crit’Air fine or one fully booked coastal campsite in August costs you more. It pays for itself on day one.
Not happy? You get your money back within 14 days. One email is enough.
