Why hire a campervan or motorhome in France
France — a country worth exploring
France spans over 640,000 square kilometres, making it the largest country in the European Union by area, with landscapes ranging from the Alpine peaks of Mont Blanc at 4,808 metres to the lavender fields of Provence and the Atlantic surf beaches of Biarritz. The country offers an extraordinary network of well-maintained roads — driving from Paris to Marseille covers roughly 775 kilometres, while the route from Bordeaux to Strasbourg stretches around 870 kilometres, crossing dramatically different terrain along the way. Iconic landmarks like the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the medieval citadel of Carcassonne, the Loire Valley châteaux, and the volcanic Chaîne des Puys in Auvergne reward those who travel at their own pace. Coastal routes along Brittany and Normandy are well suited to campervans, while the wide motorways connecting major cities make motorhome travel comfortable and straightforward. France also has one of Europe's densest networks of aires de service — dedicated rest and overnight stops designed specifically for touring vehicles. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners spread across every corner of France, choosing from a wide variety of vehicles to match your trip. Whether you want a compact van for Provençal back roads or a fully equipped family motorhome for a cross-country adventure, peer-to-peer sharing means more choice and a more personal start to your journey.
Best time to visit
France welcomes road trippers year-round, though May to October is the most popular window for campervan travel. The Fête de la Musique on 21 June fills every town with free open-air concerts, while the Feria de Nîmes in late May brings lively celebrations to the south. Summer means long daylight hours and full access to mountain passes like the Col du Galibier in the Alps. Spring and autumn offer quieter roads and comfortable temperatures, ideal for exploring wine regions during harvest season. Through Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often makes shoulder-season trips especially good value — book a few weeks ahead for the best selection of motorhomes and campervans across France.
The best road trips in France
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
Normandy Coastal Trail
250 km 3–6 days
Begin in Rouen and drive via the chalk cliffs of Étretat to the D-Day landing beaches at Omaha Beach. Around 250 km take you through charming harbour towns like Honfleur and Deauville. The route suits a campervan well, as many coastal roads are narrow and winding.
Alsace Wine Route
280 km 3–6 days
Follow the Route des Vins d'Alsace from Marlenheim to Thann across roughly 280 km. Along the way, half-timbered villages like Riquewihr and Colmar invite you to stop for tastings at local wineries. Campsites with motorhome pitches line the entire route.
Provence Loop
400 km 5–8 days
Start in Avignon, drive through the lavender fields of the Plateau de Valensole and the Gorges du Verdon, then loop back to Aix-en-Provence. Around 400 km of fragrant landscapes, with stops in Gordes and at Lac de Sainte-Croix. A campervan handles the winding hill roads of Haute-Provence with ease.
Atlantic Coast: Nantes to Biarritz
450 km 5–8 days
Drive from Nantes along the Atlantic coast via La Rochelle and the Île de Ré to Biarritz. Around 450 km through oyster ports, pine forests and surf spots on the Côte d'Argent. Large campsites in the Landes region offer comfortable pitches for any motorhome.
Occitanie Discovery Route
600 km 7–11 days
Explore southern France from Toulouse via the medieval fortress city of Carcassonne and the Millau Viaduct to the Cévennes mountains. Around 600 km through gorges, plateaux and Cathar castles. A mix of wide national roads and narrow mountain lanes suits both campervans and compact motorhomes.
Grand Tour de France
750 km 10–15 days
Experience France on a grand loop from Paris through the Loire châteaux, the vineyards of Bordeaux and the Pyrenees to Nice on the Côte d'Azur. Around 750 km of core route, easily extended with detours. Along the way you pass Sarlat-la-Canéda in the Dordogne and the Pont du Gard near Nîmes — a road trip that captures the full diversity of France.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in France
Most French motorways (autoroutes) are toll roads, and you can pay at péage booths by card or cash, or use a Liber-t electronic tag for quicker passage. Key routes like the A6 (Paris to Lyon) and A7 (Lyon to Marseille) are well-equipped with rest areas every 20 to 30 kilometres. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes match standard cars at 130 km/h on motorways, but vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are limited to 110 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on single-carriageway roads. Height barriers at some toll plazas and car parks can be tight for taller vehicles, so check clearance before entering. France also has a growing network of free dual carriageways, especially in Brittany, offering toll-free alternatives for longer trips.
Frequently asked questions
Flexibility with your travel dates is the best way to find a good deal. On Yescapa you can filter by vehicle type, pick-up location and budget, then compare offers from private owners across France. Travelling in spring or autumn is often noticeably cheaper. Booking early secures the best vehicles, and many owners offer weekly discounts for longer trips. Reading reviews from other travellers also helps you find the best value for money.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal — easy to manoeuvre on France's narrow coastal and mountain roads. Families with children are more comfortable in a motorhome with four to six berths, which offers more storage and often a separate dining area. On Yescapa you can filter by number of berths and read each owner's vehicle description to find the model that best suits your group and your route through France.
Through Yescapa, pick-up points are available right across France. Major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Toulouse have the widest selection of vehicles. Smaller cities like Nantes, Strasbourg and Montpellier also have plenty of private owners listing their vehicles. This means you can start your trip in the region you want to explore, without a long drive to reach your first destination.
Prices depend on vehicle type, season and region. On Yescapa you can find campervans in France from around £55 per day, while larger motorhomes start at roughly £80 per day. Because you hire directly from private owners, rates are often more competitive than traditional rental companies. During the shoulder season — May or October, for example — daily prices drop noticeably, and many owners offer discounts for longer bookings.
Yes, many vehicle owners on Yescapa welcome dogs on board. You can use the pet-friendly filter to find suitable listings quickly. France is a wonderful country to explore with a dog: many campsites allow pets, and numerous beaches — especially outside peak season — are dog-friendly. Check with the owner beforehand about any rules such as size restrictions or cleaning guidelines, so the road trip is relaxed for everyone.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux voyage avec le camping-car d’Alain, accompagné de notre petite fille de trois ans. Ce fut une expérience fantastique du début à la fin. Alain est une personne très sympathique, disponible et détendue. Grâce à son accueil chaleureux et à sa confiance, nous sommes partis en voyage avec un très bon sentiment dès le départ. Le camping-car était agréable et parfaitement adapté à notre famille. Nous gardons de très beaux souvenirs de cette aventure et nous recommandons vivement Alain à tous ceux qui souhaitent voyager sereinement avec un camping-car.

Fantastic time had traveling in Lanzarote in Gonzalo and Saray's campervan - highly recommended👍🏻👍🏻 and brilliant hosts/ owners. We are a family of 4 ( 2 adults & 2 teenagers ( 16 & nearly 13) and the van was a perfect size for us all. We had no issues at all from start to finish. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport by Saray and Gonzalo- a massive benefit. The handover which was just a few minutes drive from the airport was hassle free and all our questions were answered. We were on our way within 30 minutes. The owners were really responsive thoughout our rental and even checked in with us after the first night to make sure everything was going well. The van itself was very clean, tidy, as described and pictured on the site. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes and even had the basics needed for cooking and cleaning, which is always a real help. There was also freshly cleaned beach towels, ben linen and also towels for showers etc. There was plenty of room in the boot for luggage and the van had 4 camping chairs and a table- great for eating and relaxing after a day at the beach. The bathroom was a good size and allowed for showers etc without any issues. The van was easy and comfortable to drive and not too big or difficult to park. The reversing camera is a big help here. We had no issues on return either and our deposit was sent straight back to us after the rental without any delay. All and all we had a fantastic time exploring Lanzarote for five nights in Gonzalo and Saray's van and definitely highly recommend them as hosts and their campervan. We would definitely rent from them again.😊
