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.

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!
