Lots of people take dogs to French campsites - and riverside sites often have river beaches where dogs can access the river to cool down. We took our sons dog to a Mediterranean beach but It was too hot, shadeless and he was miserable. At a riverside campsite in the Ardeche he swam, swam, picked up stones and swam some more. We didn't use.the site pool, but swam with him in the river alongside the site and in other nearby rivers. You have to change your holiday to make it suit your dog. Almost all of the riverside sites in the Ardeche, Gorges du Tarn, Dordogne, and.Lot would be suitable, and from the.first two areas you can access the Med in a couple of hours. Most beaches, though, don't allow.dogs in July and August, and some throughout the year.

We have taken our two whippets for the past 3 or 4 years, as we go away for too long for it to be economic for them to be left behind. They are fine mostly in the heat, but aren't keen on water, so the swimming issue has never arisen. For the most part we have gone to rural sites and there is usually somewhere nearby where they can be run off the lead - the site can often suggest somewhere. As we have moved around a fair bit, it hasn't mattered too much if this isn't the case. There is always somewhere to walk them off site - but you must clear up, of course.
Having dogs with us does restrict our activities, but they are perfectly happy left in a shaded, well-ventilated caravan for a couple of hours while we go shopping or have some lunch. They just go to sleep. This, for us, is preferable to taking them with us, as they don't really like too many journeys in the car, but wouldn't suit everyone. As a side benefit, it also means that we don't have to close up the caravan completely and that it is protected!
Where the heat was really bad last year, we stayed on site and, where necessary, used damp towels and a fan to keep them comfortable.

Freedom is a light caravan and an open road.
