June 11 eurotunnel heading Lutz st savuer in the pyranees via Millau and that amazing bridge probably return to the lot region for a few days cannot wait to go once again to wonderfull France.
We are going to France 14 August-9 September, down to the Ardech then on to Grasse, and in to the country side of Provance we love it there.
two caravans heading for Royan June 10 to 22 nothing booked was empty last year except for Brits and it was lovely
16th August, Portsmouth - Caen then heading down to the Loire Valley. I am a recent new comer to this forum but have found it really useful with good advice. Now I will give a bit of advice...watch out for our silver Mazda as we are camping for the first time with our one year old so you may not want to pitch up close by
Leave home 8th June Dover-Calais down to Camping Esterel (4 night) on Cote d'Azur with overnight stops at Troyes and Valence. Two nights in Camargue and then 14 nights at Camping Brasillia down near Spanish border. Returning over Millau Viaduct with stops at Clermont-Ferrand and one east of Paris before sailing Zebrugge-Hull and home.
Hi,
Who thinks we are mad. We have just bought our first caravan which we have decided to christen going abroad. We are off to Southern France which will take us more than a few minutes to get to?!We are off from Dover to Calais on Thursday 11 Aug on the 5am crossing - any one joining us?!!! We are off for three weeks starting with 1 week in Castellane, and a week in Avignon. We were thinking of staying at aires de services/repos on the way down, but have heard so many conflicting reports? - anyone got any advice? Also how much will it cost us for the tolls to the South of France via Dijon and Lyon sticking to autoroutes?
Regards,
Garry and Nikki

Regarding Aires, this topic has been 'aired' a few times before. Do a search. My advice is do not use them because there are plenty of good caravan sites to stop on over night which will be more secure and you can relax and enjoy a peaceful night.
Hi John,
I'll look out for you. We'll be in a lunar lexon with a silver Mercedes. We're travelling with friends who'll be in a Red Seat with a swift. Here's hoping for warm weather as it was two years ago.

July 28th:- off to Camping-Oree-du-Bois (near Royan) in Charente for 16 nights. Never been there before so any comments on the site/area would be welcome. Cheers.
We were in that area last week. Weather was scorching. We stayed at Sequoia Parc in Marennes. Although we didn't think much to Marennes Royan was lovely, long beach to walk along and then you come to all the boats with the cafes etc by the side - really really nice. Oh how I wish I was there now. We only went for a morning but what we saw was lovely and would love to go back. Enjoy !
Hi Caroline, we're off tomorrow night from Poole - Cherbourg and then on to the Loire for two weeks. First time in France with the van - a bit anxious but know that, after 600-700 kilmoetres - we'll be fine - only joking!!! Someone told us just to follow the caravan in front out of Cherbourg but, knowing our luck, we'll end up in Belgium!!! Anyway, off to pack the van and drink some good wine, in preparation you understand!!

Ruth & Paul, I live in Poole and if you find your way to the ferry terminal you'll have no problems at all getting onto the N13 from Cherbourg. I think you will also find the roads to the Loire to be relatively traffic free after the route to Poole which at this time of the year is always busy on Friday afternoons and evenings.
Have a great time.
Have a great time.
Hi Caroline
This will be our first trip to France with a caravan. We only started caravanning last year and are now on our second caravan.
We have managed to book Ch

hello
Have a fabulous holiday -3 weeks on sunday till we go and I can;t wait!!!!!!
Had a barby in the garden tonight complete with caravan and awning up and neighbours kids in our pool now I really can't wait!!

We're doing the tunnel for the first time this year with the van - did it some years ago solo and been waiting ever since for caravan price to drop enough. Now it's less than half the price of getting to GB from NI in the first place!
As far as France goes, it's straight through to Austria (via Germany) but stopping near Paris on way back to stay with the French family our son stayed with on a school trip 3 yrs ago.

Dover to Calais via Hoverspeed, one night stop at Lyon, then carry on to Port Grimoud St Tropez.
Thanks Caroline - it's mid-afternoon and we've packed and polished the 'van and car, mown the lawns, done the shopping etc etc etc - waved goodbye to our son and his family who are off to South Devon with their 'van for the weekend. Can start to wind down now until it's time to go at around 10pm. Glad you're looking forward to your hols - hope you have a great time.
