Preparing for a Family Campervan Trip in France
Parked Camper with scenic view A tour of France
with your family is a great way to bond while
discovering the best destinations this country
has to offer. Campervans should always be an
option when you're planning because it adds to
the adventure factor and it has great
possibilities of covering more locations without
spending too much. If you are leaning towards
camping in a motorhome in one of France's many
picturesque regions on your next family
vacation, here are some things you need to
consider
Planning for Your Trip There is no substitute
for a well-planned camping vacation since it
lessens the hassles and possible problems that
may occur while you're on the road. Consider
the size of RV or motorhome you will rent out
based on the number of family members you have.
The bigger your family, the bigger the RV you
will need. This is to ensure your comfort,
safety, and often times compliance with the
French campsites and road policies.

If you have kids that are younger than ten years
old, it is always important to prepare an
appropriate seat for your child. For older
children, make sure they are orientated and
reminded of the safety rules while riding a
rented motorhome. Visit www.theeaa.com for

Set some rules for your family to be safe

family should follow while on the road in a
motorhome (you can add more on your list if
needed)
Always remain seated with seatbelts on while
moving on the road
If there's a need to use the RV facilities such
as kitchen or toilet, stop the vehicle before
doing so

Breaks are essential for everyone especially if
it's an emergency
and stopping at the right area or at least a
safe spot beside the road is advisable

• make sure small children under the age of ten
  are not riding on the front seat
• and make sure they are securely seated and
  beside an adult
• remind the children that playtime is only
  allowed when the vehicle stops
• make sure everyone is comfortable - with
  relaxing music, lights on when driving at
  night, and blankets and neck pillows are on-hand

(4) Ensure you have enough food and other
supplies whenever on the road. You can purchase
ingredients for easy to prepare meals in the
campervan kitchen, as well as few basic kitchen
utensils once you have landed in France.
Shop for ingredients, fruits, bread, gallons of
drinking water, milk and fruit juices, and
healthy snacks, among others before you hit the
road to see the tourist spots and keep them in
the RV fridge or coolers. Shop for shampoo,
soap, toilet paper, and diapers for the baby
that will last your entire RV trip as well. By
doing so, you can save a good amount of money
which you can use for other expenses or
emergency shopping.
(5) You can also purchase child car seats
instead of bringing the one you use at home.
This saves you the hassle of carrying extra
pounds from home to the airport and to your
destination in France. It is also possible to
donate or sell the child seat after your camping
trip to avoid the same hassles.
(6) Check online for campsites within your route
in France. This will ensure that you have plenty
of options while you're already there. The point
is to NOT end up staying in a hotel when the
campsites are fully packed. You can also call
these sites prior to your flight schedule just
to make sure they can accommodate your family.
(7) Familiarize yourself with the French road
network to help you decide on the best routes to
take. You'll be surprised of the scenic spots,
small villages, and must-
6
stop locations just waiting for you.
(8) Don't forget to jot everything down and have
this list handy. Have a copy in your mobile
phone as well, just for backup. Campsites When
everyone's secure, safe and sound in the rented
motorhome, it's time to hit the gas and start
the road trip. However, choosing the right type
of road is crucial for you to maximise this trip
altogether. Some campervan travellers take the
faster route (autoroutes) because they believe
the campsites should be the focal point of the
trip. However, you will miss out on the roadside
attractions and natural wonders that are either
backdrops or just a stone's throw away from the
road you are treading. It's also important to
include in your plan the local attractions along
your designated route in order to fully enjoy
the trip and the short stops. If money is not an
issue, you can always use the 'departmental
roads' which are ideal for motorhomes and for
seeing many scenic spots. Finding a campsite
in France Finding campsites with facilities for
motorhomes is not a huge problem in France and
in many European countries. Campsite
administrators know that there are many families
go to their locations in rented RVs, so they
provide enough facilities and features for them
to use. Typically and depending on the region
and season, you will find campsites that require
up to 75 per night for large-
7
capacity motorhomes. These locations often have
power and water hook-ups for motorhomes, ranging
from small to large family capacities. There
are kitchens, bathrooms/toilets, and small shops
provided within the premises for the convenience
of campers. There are also nearby establishments
along the routes where you can stop for water,
ice, gas, groceries, and takeaway food. You
can check these websites to help you find
campsites that are within your chosen
route http//www.francecamping.org/ http//ww
w.campingfrance.com/uk/our- themes And as a
final tip for finding campsites, it's always
best to have a map and GPS system on-hand. You
can be sure to find RVs fully equipped with all
the tools and facilities you need. Campervan
Trip in Europe
Getting the most out of your campervan trip in
Europe is possible and almost hassle-free. The
fact the European Union made is easier for
travellers to enjoy the trans-continental border
crossings is a relief and allows for seamless
transition from one country to the next. You
can take a one-way campervan rental with pickup
in France, for example, and you can return back
home via Germany. Another route you can take to
maximise your European RV road trip and camping
is via France (starting point) and visit Italy
and other countries and head home through a
flight via Switzerland.

Be sure to avoid big cities and attractions
within them, such as malls, churches, museums,
and other touristy spots because if you do, it's
best to get accommodations from a hotel
instead. Motorhome travelling and camping are
best enjoyed within Europe if you are focused on
discovering local markets, villages, and
out-of-city scenic spots. A true test to your
family's adventurous side is through European
motorhome travel. You can always plan ahead,
leave home prepared, and enjoy the road trip
ahead without splurging your entire vacation
budget.
