Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Avesnois
Avesnois — a region worth exploring
Avesnois is home to the Parc naturel régional de l'Avesnois, one of France's most distinctive regional nature parks, covering over 1,300 square kilometres of rolling bocage countryside in the southern tip of the Nord department. The landscape here is defined by hedgerow-lined pastures, dense forests, and gentle river valleys — a refreshing contrast to the flat plains that characterise much of northern France. From the fortified town of Le Quesnoy, with its remarkably intact Vauban ramparts, to the imposing Collégiale Sainte-Croix in Avesnes-sur-Helpe, the area is rich in heritage. The Forêt de Mormal, the largest forest in northern France at roughly 9,000 hectares, sits at the heart of the region and offers peaceful driving and walking routes. Maroilles, just 18 km from Avesnes-sur-Helpe, lends its name to the famous washed-rind cheese still produced locally, while the Val Joly lake near Eppe-Sauvage — about 30 km to the south-east — is a popular spot for water sports and lakeside relaxation. The roads here are quiet and well-suited to campervans and motorhomes, winding through villages where abbeys, orchards, and cider farms invite you to stop and explore. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across the region, choosing from a range of vehicles that match your travel style and group size — a practical, peer-to-peer way to discover Avesnois at your own pace.
Best time to visit
The best time to hire a campervan in Avesnois runs from May to October, when the bocage countryside is lush and campsites across the regional nature park are fully open. In June, the Fête du Maroilles celebrates the area's iconic cheese with tastings and farm visits — a great reason to plan your trip around this month. Autumn brings golden colours to the Forêt de Mormal and quieter roads, ideal for a relaxed motorhome tour. Through Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often means more affordable rates outside the July–August peak, so booking a spring or early autumn trip in Avesnois can be both rewarding and easy on the budget.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Avesnois
Avesnois is served mainly by the A2/E19 motorway linking Valenciennes to the Belgian border, and the N2 national road running through Avesnes-sur-Helpe. Most toll-free routes in the region are departmental roads, well-maintained but often narrow and winding through bocage hedgerows. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are 110 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on single-carriageway roads. Larger vehicles should watch for low branches and tight village centres. Rest areas along the A2 offer basic facilities, but plan fuel stops in advance as rural stations can be sparse.
Frequently asked questions
Prices for a campervan or motorhome in Avesnois typically range from around €60 to €130 per night, depending on the vehicle size, season, and equipment. Because Yescapa connects you directly with local owners on a peer-to-peer basis, you often find more competitive rates than with traditional rental agencies — especially for longer trips through the regional nature park.
On Yescapa, motorhomes and campervans are listed by private owners across the region, so pick-up points vary. You can find vehicles near Maubeuge, Avesnes-sur-Helpe, and Fourmies, as well as in nearby cities like Valenciennes or Cambrai. Simply search Avesnois on the platform and filter by location to find the most convenient collection point for your trip.
To get the best value on a campervan or motorhome in Avesnois, try booking outside the July–August peak. Yescapa's peer-to-peer model means owners set their own prices, so comparing several listings often reveals great deals. Filtering by vehicle type and dates helps you spot affordable options, and longer bookings frequently come with discounted nightly rates across the platform.
Avesnois is characterised by narrow lanes winding through bocage hedgerows and small villages, so a compact campervan (2–4 berths) is ideal for couples or small families who want easy manoeuvrability. For larger groups, a motorhome with 4–6 berths works well on the main roads and at campsites with spacious pitches. On Yescapa, you can filter by berth number to match your group size.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa welcome pets on board. When searching for a campervan or motorhome in Avesnois, use the pet-friendly filter to see which vehicles accept dogs. The region's forests, meadows, and lakeside paths around Val Joly make it a wonderful destination for travelling with your dog. Always confirm any specific pet conditions directly with the owner before booking.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Tobia and his motorhome. The vehicle was in perfect condition, practically like new, very clean, comfortable, and extremely well maintained. It was the perfect companion for our summer family trip and gave us everything we needed for a fantastic camping experience. From even before the pick-up, communication with Tobia was excellent. He was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely did his best to solve any issues, provide us with all the information we needed, and take our particular situation into consideration. We really appreciated his kindness and flexibility throughout the whole rental. The motorhome itself was very comfortable to drive and surprisingly fuel-efficient, which was a big plus during our long trip. We spent several weeks travelling with it as a family, and it truly made our summer holiday very special and memorable. I would highly recommend both Tobia and this motorhome to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. We would definitely choose this motorhome again for our next trip. Thank you, Tobia, for helping make our family holiday such a great experience!
