Oh you lucky thing! We did the same trip last September. We only had two and a half weeks so we paid all the tolls and drove down to the Alsace region on the first day. Stayed the night in Eguisheim - lovely medieval town with lots of wineries - on a great campsite Les Trois Chateaux. After that everywhere was a mere three or four hour drive. We then drove into Switzerland - easy peezy with our TomTom - it was easy and quick to buy a vignette at the border. I recommend the Interlaken area. We stayed on a campsite in the Lauterbrunnen valley which was great, loads to do but everything madly expensive. If you go there I would recommend buying a travel pass for the region, you will park your car and not need it again til you leave. Great fun cos it includes boat rides on Interlaken lake, cable cars, trains, buses it is brilliant. I would also camp in a wider valley - Grindelwald for example as the narrow valleys in the Alps can be miserable if wet! After Switzerland we went to Italy - again half a day's drive through the Piedmont - fabulous scenery! Loved the lakes but my favourite was Lake Orta which is a smallish lake next to Lake Maggiore and it is where the Italians go to avoid the tourists! We stayed at Camping Orta which I thought was the best campsite of the trip. Loved it, right on the lake side. You can pre book lake side pitches. There is a great cafe/bar and a little shop. You can walk into the little town nearby and explore, it is a little gem of a place. After Italy we went and spent time in Annecey before making the trip back to Calais via Trois. Annecey is so popular for good reason. The town is gorgeous and there is lots to do there. My advice is that if you fancy going somewhere for any reason, do it. The beauty of having a motorhome and doing a trip like this is that a lot of the pleasure of it is the journey itself. The scenery, finding wonderful rest stops along the way, spending time with your partner, listening to music together, talking, planning the route. If you want to go to the Vendee - do it. It might take some time, but you have the time and after all, isn't this what being mobile is all about? Have lots of fun on your trip!!
