Bob,

Sounds like heaven, I am dead jealous! Welcome back can you share more we are thinking of going to France for two weeks next April around Easter time! We only got our camper late this summer and although we have done some weekends around Ireland we really hope to head further afield.

Shivster.

france is so simple to motorhome in

aires are well signposted and easy to find
get an aires book and pick which ones you want to use
acsi is great value as long as its not july or august
french people are very motor home aware
traders are very much motor home aware

june or sept? i will tell you next year as only been in sept so far lol

if you want the weather in sept head south
we travelled along med coast and temps were in the thirties

do not worry about anything, either yourself or the french or other motorhomers will assist and give advice
eg just ask where they have been or recomend etc and they will tell you, show you on the map and tell you best aires/sites or attractions in area

How true.

Just go and don't worry. Plan very little and follow the weather or your interests. There is always somewhere to stay for a day or two at least.
Motorhomes were made for going to France.
