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.

To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.

Normandy Coastal Trail

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.

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.

Kevin was so helpful helping John and I embark on our first campervan journey with our dogs travelling the length of France in his lovely converted Boxer van we have all come to love as ''Olive''. The first trip of many our experience was overwhelmingly good. So many amazing places to stop at and amazing views from Blue Lakes , Vast Gorges and amazing views from High Mountain Passes, Olive got us there ! Then when we were all parked up she offered us such a lovely comfy place to spend the night. With mosquito nets and an ambient cooling system in the cab, we took some fans to cope with the ' above 40 degree at times, temperatures but the dogs and us were absolutely fine.. Olive's solar powered appliances really do work all day and through the night. Kevin was an amazing host - even though we 'lost ' his fuel tank cap! Don't ask us how! Id thoroughly recommend Olive to anyone . She is a lovely van and Kevin a great host.

Miguel was the perfect person to rent a camper van from. The van had everything you could wish for. He was kind, extremely helpful and the test drive I requested really assisted me. . All the paperwork and communication was highly efficient and very fair. No issues at all. As a single female in my 60s I could not recommend a better person.

My partner and I have been on van trips before, but only borrowing friend's vans in the UK. This was our first time renting a van abroad, first time using Yescapa and first time exploring the Picos de Europa. Overall it was a super smooth experience and enabled us to have one of the best holidays ever - so we would fully recommend! Firstly, the booking experience. We were visiting during the eclipse and so we were wary that everything was getting booked up. We stumbled upon Yescapa and this van, then the booking experience was pretty simple so it kind of felt too good to be true. Picking up the van was a doddle, with all the instructions sent clearly over WhatsApp. This meant we felt comfortable hitting the ground running. Secondly, the van was absolutely perfect for our holiday. The shower out the back was perfect for cooling down and cleaning off after runs. The camp stove worked great for making porridge in the morning, and we were grateful for the included chairs - especially when it came to watching the eclipse. We found that the fridge tended to heat the cabin when it was running which meant it worked quite well for helping control the temperature i.e. we'd leave the fridge running if there was a cold night due. Finally, thank you to Safira the host for letting us use the van for our wonderful trip. She was very quick to respond to any questions, and super lovely in helping us out during pick-up and drop-off.

We had a lovely few days in France in the motorhome. We picked up about 30 minutes from Calais which was very convenient for the ferry. The van had everything we needed and we had a great time visiting the Normandy beaches and D day sites.

We had the best experience with this campervan and were so sad when it was time to hand it back! We had it for 3 nights during peak summer at a really reasonable price, and it was absolutely perfect for our little adventure. The host was fantastic and always replied incredibly quickly whenever we had a question. The van itself had everything we could possibly need and more. You can really tell that the owner has thought about all the little details — from salt and pepper, coffee and tea, to plenty of kitchenware and even a coffee machine! The bed was super comfortable and really easy to assemble, and the fan worked brilliantly, which was definitely appreciated during the summer heat. We honestly loved every minute of van life and were genuinely sad to leave. Thank you for helping make our trip so special — we would definitely recommend this campervan to anyone looking for an amazing adventure!
