Why hire a campervan or motorhome in France
France — a country worth exploring
France's Route Nationale 7 once carried holidaymakers over 1,000 km from Paris to the Mediterranean, and today much of that legendary road remains a favourite among touring enthusiasts. From the chalk cliffs of Étretat on the Normandy coast to the turquoise calanques near Marseille, the country packs an extraordinary range of landscapes into a single journey. Paris to Lyon is roughly 465 km, while Lyon to Nice covers about 470 km — distances that feel perfectly paced when you can pull over at a vineyard or lakeside aire along the way. Iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel, the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the lavender fields of the Valensole Plateau and the medieval citadel of Carcassonne give every route its own character. Coastal stretches in Brittany and the Basque Country suit compact campervans, while the broad autoroutes and spacious aires of the Loire Valley are ideal for larger motorhomes. Mountain passes in the Alps and Pyrenees add drama without difficulty for well-prepared travellers. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners spread right across France, so you can pick up a campervan close to your starting point — whether that is Bordeaux, Strasbourg or Toulouse — and set off without a long transfer. The peer-to-peer model means a wider choice of vehicles and often more competitive rates than traditional hire companies, making France one of the most rewarding countries to explore on four wheels.
Best time to visit
France is wonderful for a campervan trip from late April right through to October. The Fête de la Musique on 21 June fills every town square with free concerts, while the Tour de France in July lets you watch the peloton from your motorhome parked roadside in the Alps or Pyrenees. Spring and early autumn bring quieter roads and wide campsite availability, and Yescapa's peer-to-peer pricing often drops outside the peak summer weeks. Book by March for July and August departures to secure the best choice of vehicles across France.
The best road trips in France
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
Normandy Coastal Trail
250 km 3–6 days
This 250 km route traces the Normandy coast from Honfleur to Mont Saint-Michel. Stop at the D-Day beaches of Omaha and Utah, explore Bayeux and its famous tapestry, and enjoy well-serviced campervan aires along the way.
Alsace Wine Route
280 km 3–6 days
Wind through 280 km of vineyard-lined villages in eastern France. Colmar, Riquewihr and Obernai offer charming stopovers, and the narrow lanes suit a compact campervan. Expect excellent motorhome service points throughout Alsace.
Provence Loop
400 km 5–8 days
A 400 km circuit through southern France linking Avignon, the Gorges du Verdon and the lavender plateau of Valensole. Campsites with full hook-ups are plentiful, and the wide roads make this loop comfortable in a motorhome of any size.
Atlantic Coast: Nantes to Biarritz
450 km 5–8 days
Follow 450 km of France's Atlantic seaboard from Nantes through La Rochelle and the Arcachon Basin to Biarritz. Coastal aires welcome campervans, and the flat terrain is easy driving. Fresh seafood markets line the route.
Occitanie Discovery Route
600 km 7–11 days
Cover 600 km across southern France from Toulouse to the walled city of Carcassonne, then east to Montpellier via the Canal du Midi. Motorhome-friendly stopovers dot the route, with riverside pitches near Béziers and Narbonne.
Grand Tour de France
750 km 10–15 days
An epic 750 km loop starting in Paris, heading through the Loire Valley châteaux to Bordeaux, then north via Limoges and Orléans. Allow at least ten days to enjoy France's diversity — a motorhome or large campervan is ideal for this journey.

Campsites and road information in France

What you need to know about roads and motorways in France
France operates an extensive toll motorway network. Most autoroutes use a ticket system — collect a ticket at the péage booth on entry and pay on exit by card or cash. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes fall into a higher toll category (Class 3) and pay more than standard vehicles. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes are 130 km/h on autoroutes and 80 km/h on single-carriageway roads; vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are limited to 110 km/h on autoroutes. Rest areas with free overnight parking (aires) appear roughly every 20–30 km on major routes, many with water and waste facilities.
Frequently asked questions
Travelling in May, June or September often means lower nightly rates and wider vehicle choice on Yescapa. Use the platform's filters to compare prices across France, and consider picking up from a smaller city where demand is lower. Booking well ahead for peak dates also helps you lock in the best deal from local owners.
For couples or solo travellers exploring France, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park and great on fuel. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and overcab sleeping area. If you plan to tackle narrower roads in Provence or Alsace, a smaller vehicle keeps things stress-free. Check each listing on Yescapa for exact berth layouts.
Yescapa owners list vehicles right across France, so you can collect a motorhome or campervan in major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Toulouse, as well as smaller towns closer to your route. The peer-to-peer model means pick-up points are spread nationwide rather than limited to a handful of depots, giving you more flexibility to start your trip where it suits you.
On Yescapa, campervan hire in France typically starts from around £60–£90 per night, while larger motorhomes range from about £90–£150 per night depending on season and vehicle spec. Because you hire directly from private owners, rates are often more competitive than traditional hire companies. Booking outside July and August can bring further savings.
Yes — many Yescapa owners in France welcome pets on board. Look for the pet-friendly filter when searching to see which vehicles accept dogs. France is a great destination for travelling with pets: most campsites allow dogs, and beaches outside peak summer months are often dog-friendly. Always confirm any pet policy details directly with the owner before booking.
What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in France
Sean
5 / 5
An absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish! The owners were exceptionally professional, super friendly, and made everything from initial contact to booking and collection completely seamless. Meeting their beloved camper van, 'Olaf,' was the highlight of our trip. As first-time drivers of anything larger than an SUV, we were initially nervous, but Olaf completely surprised us—being fully automatic and featuring Android Auto infotainment system, he was an absolute breeze to drive and got us to our destinations hassle-free. The camper is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short getaway, and honestly, you could easily stay much longer. If we ever find ourselves back in France, we would love to take Olaf out for another spin!

Ha sido un placer tratar con Javier y sus amigos; son encantadores, muy educados y con una excelente comunicación. Cuidaron nuestra autocaravana como si fuera suya y la devolvieron a tiempo, en perfectas condiciones y muy limpia. Los recomendamos ampliamente. Esperamos volver a verlos en el futuro. Muchas gracias de parte de Gary y Michelle.

5 / 5
We absolutely loved our time in the caddy! Everything was great, from the collection, the functionality and the communication. The van is small but mighty, the owners have thought of every little detail (sink, shower, storage, kitchen, and a good sized comfy bed). We highly recommend using Yescapa and hiring this van- perfect for your dolomites adventure!

We hired the van for 8 nights and it was perfect. Went up to the mountains and down to the beach. It was very spacious and well kitted out. The owners are also lovely, accommodating and quick to reply to our message
