Best campervan routes around France

Travel routes

The French Riviera
One of the most enhanced driving routes in France, the French Riviera, is one that you should consider taking when you hire a campervan in France. It may only be around 120 km in distance and take around 3 hours to complete if you drive it without stopping. Still, there are so many coastal viewpoints, stunning beaches, breathtaking rolling mountains to see, and many different cities, including Monaco, Nice and Cannes, along the way. Hence, it’s worth taking your time with this route.

The Loire Valley
Many people have referred to the Loire Valley as The Garden of France, and with good reason. Starting in Orleans and finishing in Nantes, this 300-km road follows the beautiful Loire River. If you are interested in sampling and learning more about one of France’s most significant products and exports, wine, when you rent a motorhome in France, it is a great trip.

Traffic Rules in France

Traffic rules with a motorhome
  • Generally speaking, you drive on the right side of the road in France and overtake on the left side of the road. There are exceptions to this rule; when the traffic divides into lanes, vehicles can overtake on the right of other cars driving in the slower lanes.

  • When approaching a roundabout, you must give way to the traffic already on it and to all emergency vehicles when they are ringing their sirens and flashing their lights.

  • The speed limits in France differ depending on traffic conditions: 130km/hour on motorways, 110km/hour on priority roads and dual carriageways, 80km/hour on other roads and 50km/hour in built-up areas. When there is rain or other precipitation, the speed limits change to 110km/hour on motorways, 100km/hour on priority roads and dual carriageways, 70km/hour on other roads and 50km/hour in built-up areas. When visibility is less than 50m, the speed limits change to 50km/hour on all roads.
