Campervan Hire in France

Renting a camper in France: Explore the diversity of this fascinating country in your own way. From the rocky coasts of Brittany and Normandy to the picturesque cities along the Atlantic coast, such as the charming Bordeaux, or the sun-soaked Côte d'Azur on the Mediterranean Sea – France fulfills every travel desire. But extraordinary highlights also await you inland. The endless lavender fields of Provence, historical sites like the medieval fortress Carcassonne, and of course, the bustling metropolis of Paris.

Not only winter sports enthusiasts find their paradise in the Alpine regions around Grenoble and Annecy. In addition to first-class ski areas, the area offers an extensive network of hiking trails inviting exploration. The majestic Mont Blanc attracts numerous climbers and hikers to the region in southeastern France every year.

You can explore all these beauties to the fullest by renting a camper. The well-developed road network allows camper travelers to set their own pace. Whether you travel on national roads or highways to quickly reach the next destination, or on narrow, winding country roads to discover hidden treasures – the choice is yours.

Because camping in France is very popular, you'll find many first-class campsites along your journey. Moreover, in many places, it's possible to spend a night with a self-sufficient camper at a vineyard or farm.
