Hi

We have a long motorhome and we also tow a trailer on the back.  Every year we travel down to the South of France usually spending 2/3 nights on the way down and up. 

Becuase of our size I usually book in advance and check that they can take units of our size but sometimes translations get lost and when we arrive access and the pitches can be quite difficult.

So I am now about to start planning our holiday and just wondered if anyone has any recommendations for sites in France that have really good access and good pitch size - particularly for motorhomes.  The route we take is usually Calais, Reims, Troyes, Dyjon, Lyon - down to Aix and turn left towards the South.

Any recommendations would be gratefully received

Thanks

Kawan Village Lac d'Orient near Troyes on the way south has some pretty big pitches for motorhomes. 414km from Dunkerque/Calais and is quick if you use the autoroute. If you are not in a hurry take the slow route and save on the tolls. Its a campingcheque site if you are travelling out of high season.

Really nice campsite with indoor and outdoor pools to help you relax after your journey and super shower block. Free wifi at the bar. Takeaway/restaurant not bad but not cheap. Nice Pizzaria across the road from the site overlooking the lake but again not cheap.

hi frizzer,

As you say first week in August could be very busy but on the basis that the French don't like paying tolls you may find the autoroutes just as good or better at least as far as Dijon where you might start to meet up with the Paris traffic heading towards the south east area.
