Hi Nigel Travelled this road 6 weeks ago, there is a new tunnel between st die and the colmar motorway, costs over 7euro for solo car or you could go down to gerardmer and take the main road over the hill but its a long steep pull. Its a fabulous area. Tom

Hi Sam I have just returned from a 7 week trip in france, on all types of terrain, in the alps, on the motorways and my c max was brilliant. Towing gave us around 33mpg cruise control and 6th gear on good roads and great on the steep hills. Whip the rear seats out and shove the bikes, chairs...

Hi Franklin I took out cover with MoreThan this year and it covers the car and caravan recovery back to home for around

Good day folks Im am looking to leave my van in storage in France next year to avoid the long haul from Inverness, can anyone suggest a site between Calais and Brittany that is preferably British owned and has good indoor storage. I would be happy with Eastern Loire as well. Thanking you in...

Hi Colin The Loire area is fantastic, easy, quiet roads through vineyards and lovely little villages. We are stopping for a week on the Isle de re near la Rochelle this year...100kms of flat trails and lots of sites. The cyclist is well respected on French roads and you will have a great time...

Don`t even think about Italian sites without confirming pitch sizes. Olive trees appear to be protected and will often be in the area where the awning should be but most sites are well located on the lake and the area is gorgeous. Try to avoid the lakeside road on the north side of the lake as...

Hi Jeff Stayed at Weekend 2 years ago, stunning location and great pool and a great area BUT the pitches are liberally supplied with olive trees and very tight indeed and impossible to get car, van and awning in place without a lot of fiddling about. We had to be pushed by very friendly Danes...
