7 of the most beautiful motorhome routes in France
Normandy
Normandy is a wonderful road trip destination. Nowhere else in France will you discover such a variety of landscapes and sights. Nomads mapped out a 957 km motorhome route that starts in the seaside resort of Dieppe and takes you past the white chalk cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre to charming Honfleur and Deauville. The ride takes you past the D-Day invasion beaches and Mont Saint-Michel is not missing either. Returning inland, hilly Normandy has more to offer than just the coast. On this motorhome route, you won't lack campsites and motorhome sites.
Provence
Anyone who says 'Provence' immediately thinks of sunny, mountainous countryside interspersed with vineyards and purple lavender fields. A motorhome route through Provence undoubtedly provides breathtaking views. This route is a treat for the eyes. You trek from authentic village to cosy town in a beautiful backdrop of hills. The motorhome route counts 668 km and starts in the lesser-known Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and drives from there to sunny Vaucluse. Fruit farms, olive groves and truffles take you to the Camargue before exploring the Côtes-du-Rhône wine region and the Roman past of Avignon and Orange.
French Pyrenees
Stretching from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees form the natural border between France and Spain. A motorhome route through the French Pyrenees offers sea, beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, valleys, natural parks and numerous quaint towns. This motorhome route is ideal for a holiday of say 14 days and offers a variety of sights. Take full advantage of the beauty of the Pyrenees and be guided along the whimsical lanes from Biarritz to Barcarès on the Mediterranean.
Aude
At the foot of the Pyrenees, Aude lies in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. A region known for its beautiful nature, delicious wine and the history of the Cathars. The sunny region is therefore perfect for a motorhome tour! The motorhome route starts in Narbonne on the Mediterranean coast and heads inland through winding roads and beautiful vineyards. The route then heads into the Pyrenees and explores the impressive fortresses and castles of the Cathars. Built high on dizzying rocks, the ruins of Peyrepertuse and Quéribus recall the past.
Côte d’Azur
The Côte d'Azur is the holiday destination of many Belgians and Dutchmen, but perhaps not the obvious one to go there with a motorhome. It is super crowded in summer, the narrow streets cause stress in the motorhome ánd the campsites and motorhome sites are sparse. But... in spring or autumn it is quiet and you can drive the region perfectly by motorhome. Be enchanted by the azure coast, the small villages and, of course, the great seaside towns of the French Riviera.
Alsace and Vosges
Alsace is a diverse destination in the north-east of France that charms motorhome lovers with its culture and gastronomy. It is a rich, lively and generous region that stretches along the Rhine and takes you past wine hills and cosy villages, with in the background: the mountain peaks of the Vosges Mountains. On this motorhome tour, the many vineyards and excellent Alsatian wines are first on the agenda. Then we follow the Route des Crêtes, which takes us past mountain villages and picturesque towns to the highest peaks of the Vosges.
Champagne region
The Champagne-Ardenne region is the gateway to eastern France and is known for the prestigious elixir sipped by French kings, Champagne. The bubbles conquered restaurants all over the world and sparkle at many a party. However, the Champagne region is more than just this drink of the gods. This motorhome route takes you past vast forests and past beautiful waters such as the Meuse and Lac du Der. The mighty cities of Reims and Troyes cannot be missed on our motorhome tour either.
