We are going to Castel Camping Du Verdon with our twin Axle caravan towing with lwb Shogun, we can not decide best route to take, either via Grenoble or via Grasse (along south of France).  Anyone done either route and what do you think.

We did the Grenoble route with much the same outfit, the road down to Castellane is all hairpin bends but perfectly ok with care, although not for the faint hearted!

Both routes are fine so it depends where you are coming from as to which route. Agree with Mrs. Bonce re the road down to Castellane but you will see plenty of large vehicles using it with out problems.

Street view of the road.

Agree with the above, N85 route napolean to Castellane, lorrys use it some with trailers.  Admire the view as you drop down to Castellane like we did, forgetting that you have to come the otherway on your return, not a problem but it's a constant climb and hairpin after hairpin, which is why an early start 8ish is a good idea (not much traffic).   And don't forget to sound your horn when go through the narrow arch way on the bend to warn traffic coming the other way (like we didn't).

Remember it's a holiday not a race.
