France at the end of July Forums

allan01273

We are not new to motorhomeing, only ever use Aires, wildcamping and sometimes municipal sites.
I just wondered what people might think of our next trip to France
suggested by a friend -

Friday 27 July evening, Dover to Calais, until Monday 13 August evening
nothing booked or arranged but we expect, after "Eastenders"
first night at Auchan Boulogne, followed by -
Camp at Orbec, a very sporty site in sportsground
Liseux, Basillique nice colour at night
Saumur, a nice Chateau overnight stop
Maris Potivan or Green Vennice, Hire a boat for the day
La Rochelle, campervans park at side of park close to the main Square
Rochefort, Ships of the line travel to Fort Boyard
Ile d'Oleron, good beaches - don't drive on Saturday or Sunday
see the Citadella at le Chateau
Maybe the big treat on the way back "Futurascope" we went 2 years ago is there sufficient new stuff there for the big wads of euros

I have just done 2 1/2 weeks in France and had a hoot. We never booked anything and played it by ear. Campsites and aires are so plentiful, no need.

Have a good time wherever you end up.

Just remember that from 1st August the whole of France closes down for business and all go to the coast with all the other nations on holiday !!!!

We have just done 3 weeks in Spain and France about 50/50 split, basically following the sun and not easy over there either! I would never think of going when you are, but depends on circumstances obviously.

We found half empty if not empty sites and never used aires as we are not "own sans essential".

Have a great time

We were out in June. France is very MH friendly.

Have a great and safe trip. You'll luv it.

hi, we are also crossing from Dover to Calais on the 27th July, Sea France, around 8pm and like yourselves, my wife & I haven't booked any sites or anywhere for our 4 weeks in France. We shall probably drive to St Omer in our A/S Clubman on Friday night, where we shall wild camp in a huge free car park O/N then go on where we fancy on Sat am.Happy travelling]
