Hi

It might be worth your while consulting Select Sites and  / or Alan Rogers (maybe buy the France Guide?).

TT.

What do you like?  Do you want to be on the coast, or near a city?   Do you like sightseeing, or just 'chilling around the pool'?  There are so many sites in France, all different, that it would be difficult to give just a generalised recommendation.   Have you planned your (approximate) route?  All these things will affect the recommendations people give.  

As a generalisation most french sites have excellent facilities, even the smallest municipals, in villages without any particular tourist attractions.  There are some very attractive sites in such places.  Even in July you should find a pitch, probably without advance booking on small sites like this.  However, if you want to go for larger sites, nearer to popular tourist magnets then you may have to book in advance.  The Michelin green guide gives a selection of every type of site, from the smallest municipal to the biggest '5 tents in red' site.  The Caravan Club Europe 1 book also lists all sorts of sites, usually with comments from members of the CC to help you make a decision.

So what site should we choose on the way down and on the way back?
