    Cover of the travel guide France by Motorhome

    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.

    Why this guide instead of more blogs?

    Blogs tell you where to go. This book sorts out what each day actually looks like.

    Example from the guide · route 1, day 10

    Mont-Saint-Michel

    Short driving day
    The tide sets your timing
    Why this 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.

    The drive

    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.

    Campervan advice

    The approach and parking are organised and split by vehicle type. Arrive early and you get a better spot and a shorter walk.

    Overnight

    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.

    Plan B for bad weather

    In rain and wind, push the island back half a day and explore the hinterland towards Saint-Malo first.

    What makes this different from a free blog

    Written for campervans

    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.

    A Plan B for every 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.

    August 2026 edition

    Prices, toll information and low-emission zone rules are checked against the official French sources. Not a dead blog link from 2019.

    Honest about what you can skip

    Each city guide says what you should not miss and what you can happily skip. That saves time and money.

    Exactly what you get

    136 pages, everything in it.

    • 48 fully worked-out day itineraries with campervan advice for each day
    • GPS with a Google Maps link per stop, plus an area to look for overnight spots each day
    • 8 city guides (Saint-Malo, Nantes, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Avignon, Annecy, Grenoble, Nice) with a walking route and campervan advice
    • Booking calendar per route: what to lock in and when
    • Budget scenarios per route: frugal, comfortable and luxury
    • A Plan B per day for when the weather turns
    • Crit’Air and toll guidance: the French low-emission zones (ZFE) and the péage on the motorways
    • Departure checklists and a glossary with pronunciation

    €14.95 for 48 planned travel days. Under 32 cents a day.

    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.
