We first went to France in 2000 and have been back almost every year since - biggest regret is that we didnt go before! You're gonna love it.
You might find the distances a bit daunting at first - but the great thing about France is its so camping friendly - lots of lovely aires to stop in for a rest / cuppa, and so many campsites that don't turn you away because you aren't members of the right club.
I often wonder what foreigners must make of camping over here. "Not members? On your bike then!" Doesn't happen over there.

Take a look at Camping Le Ranolien .

Unfortunately only ever stayed here in static's.

But as I like to be nosey sometimes I did make a point of looking at the pitches and facilities and the were both very good,pitches are Large which will be good for us now as we have a Kyham Ontario 8.

To be honest we,ve never stayed in a bad campsite in France and thats over the last 18 yrs,but Le Ranolien has to be one off our favourite's,also the location is magnifque being set right in the heart of the Pink Granite coast.

Happy Holiday's I'm sure you'll love France.

Usually no shops open between 12 - 2.30pm. Most small shops shut on Sunday. Be prepared. A good time to hit the road, though. No lorries allowed on motorways on Sundays either. Ground tends to be hard.
